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!
>>1448903Leftists are children
>>1448952If they actually made a helicopter crash they would blame Trump unironically.
>>1449007That reminds me of when Trump had been back in office for like a week and that helicopter crashed into that planeThen he went on national television in his official capacity as president and straight up said they didn't know what caused the crash yet but his feelings told him it was because the FAA hired blacks and women so that's what they were going to go with
>>1449007Accurate
>>1449014To be fair, the left said the helicopter crashed into a plane because of Trump lol
>>1449017>Republicunts increase flights out of DC because they're lazy>ATC told them they weren't prepared to handle the load>Republicunts ignore them because they're lazy>lethal air crash due to ATC miscommunicationsit was literally republicans fault
>>1449018>lethal air crash due to ATC miscommunicationsThis is not true at all outside of the Democrat fanfic shilliverse https://archive.is/p3DuBIt was pilot error on behalf of the Blackhawk pilot Shortly after the Black Hawk passed over Washington’s most famous array of cherry trees, an air traffic controller at nearby Ronald Reagan National Airport alerted the crew to a regional passenger jet in its vicinity. The crew acknowledged seeing traffic nearby.One of the pilots then asked for permission to employ a practice called “visual separation.” That allows a pilot to take control of navigating around other aircraft, rather than relying on the controller for guidance.“Visual separation approved,” the controller replied.The request to fly under those rules is granted routinely in airspace overseen by controllers. Most of the time, visual separation is executed without note. But when mishandled, it can also create a deadly risk — one that aviation experts have warned about for years.On Jan. 29, the Black Hawk crew did not execute visual separation effectively. The pilots either did not detect the specific passenger jet the controller had flagged, or could not pivot to a safer position. Instead, one second before 8:48 p.m., the helicopter slammed into American Airlines Flight 5342, which was carrying 64 people to Washington from Wichita, Kan., killing everyone aboard both aircraft in a fiery explosion that lit the night sky over the river.
>>1449019>“Visual separation approved,” the controller replied.you're right, ATC wasn't responsible at allretard
>>1449020No, they weren't. The Blackhawk pilot was wearing nvg. The article literally states "the Black Hawk crew did not execute visual separation effectively", but I suppose your eyeballs exploded in you when you tried reading that since it's contrary to your think tank narrative Educate yourself next time you try to step foot outside of the Democrat fanfic shilliverse you've wrapped up so tightly around you for comfort.
>>1449022nice strawman deflection, now defend republicans increasing flights out of DC despite warnings that something like that would happenyou know, the actual cause of the problem
>>1449023>defend republicans increasing flights out of DCUmm do you have any proof whatsoever that "Republicans" dictate to airline companies how many flights an airline wants to fly in and out of DC on a given day?Great DNC think tank shilliverse fanfiction tho
>>1449025https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/news/before-the-dc-plane-crash-lawmakers-expanded-flight-traffic/ar-AA1y7FASRead it and kill yourself
