A 2020 Double Homicide has devastated two families. DA MIKE SCHMIDT released a killer, Phillip Lawrence Nelson, 5 days before he murdered Nate Hobbs and Cassy Leaton with a 12 inch altered machete.

Mike Schmidt has devastated numerous families by releasing the men who would go on to kill innocent Portland residents. MIKE SCHMIDT must go. He is a clear and present danger to all Portlanders.
Nate Hobbs and Cassy Leaton had just found each other, and after being conned into renting an apartment by a squatter, Phillip Lawrence Nelson, a longtime criminal and predator, they found themselves at the center of a terrible situation that would end in their brutal murders.

The more people research Mike Schmidt, and his asinine ideas regarding justice and even his inaccurate notions of “Restorative Justice,” the more people are turning against him.

The more people investigate the people who have been murdered because Mike Schmidt released the violent criminals who went on to murder those innocent victims, the more Portlanders detest him.

DA Mike Schmidt is DESPISED. And rightly so.

Because Mike Schmidt released Phillip Lawrence Nelson, after he had been arrested at a violent Antifa protest/riot in early June of 2020, Nelson felt emboldened enough to act out a homicidal desire he had been thinking about for a long time - the premeditated ambush style murder of an adorable couple who had just found each other.

Nate Hobbs and Cassy Leaton.

I will publish three to four more articles, with podcast audio commentary regarding the Hobbs/Leaton double homicide in the next few weeks, with direct quotes from Debbie, Hobbs, Nate Hobbs mother.

Nate Hobbs and Cassy Leaton’s lives were IMPORTANT! Their lives mattered!

They are both dead today because Mike Schmidt has never been able to do his job. Ever. Because he is incompetent and deluded and has proven victims are NOT important to him. Mike Schmidt must be removed from office and replaced with Nathan Vasquez!

Mike Schmidt has blood on his hands!

I provide commentary on local Portland politics, the dubious Portland Art, the snobs of the Portland "Literary" scene, and the good folks of the Portland poetry scene. I also write creative nonfiction, historical profiles, along with Gonzo journalism.
