Sidney Sean Mecham, 42, was arrested on several charges including reckless driving and attempting to elude police.

So glad no one was hurt.
I was worried it was going to be another Wahusha Wisconsin Cristmas Parade, all over again.

Meh, it’s Portland. They’ll probably give him counseling and some clean needles and let him go

[fdszerr]

They need to definitely start cracking down on these people that's doing crazy stuff 🤨

[BirdGang]

He should be charged with attempted murder

[kennethrichards]

Does anyone know if there’s arrest footage

[lynnb]

Great another brookes who will claim is a sovereign citizen

[searchanddiscover]

drivers in portland have become even more psychotic on the road especially since cops rarely pull anyone over anymore. i'm actually surprised the cops did anything.

[danielschmitt]

He’s probably From the east coast like new jersey or something.

[gup-gup]

And you KNOW he’s just going to be let out

[Chrystylz]

He was gangstalked by this community. One of the workers slowly took the plastic rail slowly while he left the parade. Construction is one of the methods ..

[elijahbey]

He's an innocent man falsely accused.

He was finally directed to Target for Sterization.

[ididsubmititalreadys]

[ddemier]

Don't blo k all the exits. Not everyone calibrates DMLKJ

Pisses me off. If he was black they would been dragging him out the car. Since he lol white they let him go. If I woulda seen him doing that, I would been throwing hella rocks and other hard objects at his car for sure. People standing around frozen with amazement and shock not doing nothing. Waiting for someone to get serious injured to protest and scream and cry. For some reason they let him get away. Didn’t apply no real force or authority. People be applauding Leo’s for arresting young blacks but they did nothing but a terrible job here

A Trump voter mad he got arrested. Electric chair for both.

Those asserting that the detour would have resulted in a mere ten-minute extension to the journey's duration fail to appreciate the real-world implications of the traffic rerouting. I myself am a resident of Portland and have experienced firsthand the extensive delays—amounting to two hours on a route that typically requires twenty minutes—attributable to the suboptimal detour planning.

The specified address, situated at SE CLAY ST in Portland, was rendered inaccessible due to the closure of all exits from SW Naito Parkway in Portland. Consequently, the only available alternative for the Sidney would have been a complete redirection of his course towards the SE Powell Blvd route. Such a deviation, even under optimal traffic conditions, would likely impose an additional duration of one hour and a half to his journey.

It begs the question as to why an individual should be compelled to contemplate the indignity of relieving themselves at the roadside—risking an arrest for public indecency—simply because of the scheduling of a festival. It is my contention that these events should be relocated to peripheral areas where traffic is sparse, thereby mitigating undue distress to the city's inhabitants. This sentiment is underscored by the audible distress in the communication from the mother affected by the current festival location.

Main stream media’s coverage or lack of, will tell you the ethnicity and sexual orientation of the individual.
