What's the problem? It's just a machete. It isn't like it is an "assault weapon" that can be used to commit mass murder. Oh wait. During the occupation of Nanking, two Japanese officers had a contest to see who could kill the most people with their Samurai swords. They called it a draw at a hundred victims each because they were getting tired.

He was arrested in Portland.

JWC

He is still not in custody.

Are we for absolute certain the JWC is not some sort of AI programmed to type the most off the wall nonsense that it can generate

Absolutely an AI program.
No sentient, sapient human being would suggest that we should arrest a suspect who is implicated by overwhelming evidence of assaulting someone with a "harmless machete", then immediately release them on their own recognizance. Heaven knows that a machete couldn't be a deadly weapon. Just look at Mexico. Because of Mexico's stringent gun control laws, few homicides aside from killings related to the drug cartels are committed with firearms. Mexico still has a homicide rate double the US homicide rate because Mexicans are able to hack each other to death with machetes and other types of cutting instruments or use bludgeones or what not.

Hey DB Cooper, JWC is not AI. It is more of a broken record that plays the same whining tune over and over, and over, and over....

Yamhillbilly:

Suspect is still not on the Yamhill County jail roster. Still no record of a court case in the Oregon Judicial website.

Maybe he is in a mental hospital with DB Cooper and Yamhillbilly?

How much you bet that this evolves into a repeat of Shane Rader?

Better a broken record raising the relevant issues than a brainless bumpkin that can't even understand the issues.

Huber was in the hospital at OHSU. He’s in jail as of Monday in Yamhill County.
