They put the lives of thepilots and the public at risk,” said Scott E. Bradford, US Attorney for the District of Oregon.
>>1448789> On Oct. 10, the FBI entered Nepaial’s residence, and allegedly found him barricaded inside his bathroom, with the laser on his nightstand, next to a plastic bag of meth and a pipe.> Aiming a laser at a plane is only punishable by five years, but Nepaial faces up to 40 years in federal prison for possession of drugs, according to the press release.> Nepaial was on probation for distribution of drugs in Washington County, authorities said.> Five days after Nepaial’s alleged crime, antifa organizers in Portland published an online flyer encouraging supporters to play “laser tag” by shining lights on federal aircrafts to ground them.> “Antifa domestic terrorists WILL NOT overrun our cities.

>>1448789Title:> Oregon man charged with shining green laser at CBP helicopter in Portland as anti-ICE protests rage on.Article:> Nepaial allegedly pointed the laser at the CBP helicopter as it was passing over his home while he was smoking on the porch, according to federal court documents. This is the slimiest, most misleading dogshit I've ever seen in my life
>>1448789Imagine going through and greentexting every single line of text in an article making so absolutely no one wants to read it.Unless, of course, the intent is to burn my fucking corneas
>>1448797Well, the actual content of the article shows how OP is a lying shill and NYPost is a shameless partisan rag on par with Gateway Pundit, defiling the corpse of a once reputable newspaper with every post they make.So they have to do everything they can to get you to focus on the headline and ignore the article.
>>1448797I asked anons here if they were fine with greentext or not. Most were okay. I'll stop doing it. Sorry.
>>1448809If you're taking suggestions, can you also stop shitting up the board with deliberately misleading partisan trash?
>>1448795Plus, CBP choppers have sensors for alerting them to this very thing and pinpointing the aggressor. If any pilots were hit in the eyes, I don't see why they'd hesitate to state that in the court documents.
>>1448810>> Five days after Nepaial’s alleged crime, antifa organizers in Portland published an online flyer encouraging supporters to play “laser tag” by shining lights on federal aircrafts to ground them.Ain't partisan.
>>1448813>If any pilots were hit in the eyesThat's not how laser strikes work. This is what it looks like to the pilot.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VshPGuKoa2Q
>>1448816For all we know couldn't this guy have been shining it from behind the chopper and it still would get picked up? Is that how the *sensors* work? I'm not saying that's not still a crime, btw.
>>1448814>An anonymous post on a Wordpress blog with zero traffic, five days after the fact, justifies a major media company implying a guy smoking a cigarette and shining a laser on his back porch with anti-ICE protests, and with OP literally naming the thread "Antifa Blinds Pilots"You do not actually believe this. I know you don't, you know you don't. Anyone who reads this knows you don't.You are deliberately saying things you do not actually believe to further a political agenda.Does that not make you question your political agenda even for a second? Or is this a "Ends justify the means" thing?
>>1448822Laser strikes are dangerous because they cause glare through refraction, blind the pilot and can potentially crash the plane.
>>1448823>You are deliberately saying things you do not actually believe to further a political agenda.This has happened multiple times already. >https://www.dhs.gov/news/2025/09/30/four-criminal-illegal-aliens-arrested-after-conducting-laser-strikes-helicopters>https://nypost.com/2025/10/12/us-news/portland-emergency-helicopters-divert-from-hospital-over-laser-party-ice-threats/
>>1448826And now comes the flood of irrelevant bullshit to justify the deliberate deception.I'm not playing this game with a shill.
>>1448827Is it shilling if these things actually happened?
Imagine every time republicans talked about 9/11 some democrat accused them of shilling.
>>1448825Hey, I'm not interested in exonerating this dirtbag. I'm a bit interested in finding out how much he knew what he was doing though.
>found 100 grams of methamphetamine and “evidence of drug trafficking,” Planting drugs will teach these antifa scum a lesson
>>1448789ok give him the death penalty and move on, why waste time guy's obviously guilty of attempted murder
>>1448795Title:> Oregon man charged with shining green laser at CBP helicopter in Portland as anti-ICE protests rage on.Article:> Oregon man charged with shining green laser at CBP helicopter in Portland as anti-ICE protests rage on.Problem? >>1448797>>1448809In the very early days of this board it was common to greentext the article but we all stopped doing it because it's ugly to read a whole article like that>>1448813>Leftists aren't blinding pilots, they're just *attempting* to blind pilots
>>1448896>lEfTiSTs tiPped oVEr mY TrAsH CAn!!1kek
>>1448898>blinding a helicopter with a laser is the same as tipping over a trash canK
>>1448901>Oh god a laser pointer!
