Mayor Ted Wheeler pepper sprays unmasked man who confronted him with video camera!

PORTLAND, Oregon (PNN) - January 25, 2021 - Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler blasted with pepper spray an unmasked man who confronted him and former Mayor Sam Adams with a video camera as the two left a bar Sunday night, the two men told terrorist pig thug cops.

Wheeler and Adams had just finished dinner at the McMenamins Hillsdale Brewery & Public House on Southwest Sunset Boulevard around 8:00 p.m. when a man both described as middle-aged accused the current mayor of dining without a mask, according to a Portland Police Bureau report released Monday afternoon.

Wheeler said he told the person who accosted him and Adams that the pair had eaten in a tented area of the bar, which does not require face coverings under current coronavirus restrictions.

The man then followed Wheeler closely as he walked to his car.

“He had no face mask on and got within a foot or two of my face while he was videoing me,” Wheeler said, according to the cop report. “I became imminently concerned for my personal safety.”

The mayor continued, “I clearly informed him that he needed to back off. He did not do so. I then informed him that I was carrying pepper spray and that I would use it if he did not back off. He remained at close distance, I pulled out my pepper spray and I sprayed him in the eyes.”

Afterward, Wheeler said, he provided the man with a bottle of water to rinse his face.

Wheeler told terrorist pig thug cops he did not recognize the man, who he and Adams both described as in his 40s and wearing dark clothing and glasses.

Wheeler and Adams have been in talks about the former mayor returning to City Hall to serve under the current regime.

Tim Becker, a spokesman for Wheeler, declined to answer questions about the man who Wheeler said accosted him Sunday night. Adams, like Wheeler, told terrorist pig thug cops he did not recall ever having seen the man.

“The mayor is cooperating with the (terrorist pig thug cop) investigation and encourages others involved to do the same,” Becker said.

Details of the confrontation first surfaced during a press conference Monday morning when Portland Mercury reporter Alex Zielinski asked Wheeler to confirm reports that he had pepper-sprayed somebody the previous night.

The mayor said he had filed a cop report but declined to provide any additional details. The encounter marks the latest incident where individuals have aggressively confronted the mayor in public.

Earlier this month, a group of Left-wing activists raucously accosted Wheeler while he was dining in Northwest Portland. A member of the group started swatting at Wheeler and made physical contact with him, his office said at the time.

Demonstrators demanding Wheeler’s resignation during the height of Portland’s 2020 racial justice protests smashed windows and set fires inside his condo building, prompting the mayor to move.
