Was the protest Malik Muhammed engaged in during the 2020 riots in Portland, Oregon fiery? Yes. Was it peaceful? No. And despite the fact his highest-profile victim may have been his fellow protesters, his viral ignominy won’t be the worst punishment he’ll be facing.
On Wednesday, Multnomah County, Oregon, District Attorney Mike Schmidt announced that Muhammed, who infamously set another rioter on fire during the violent 2020 riots in the Pacific Northwest city, will be spending 10 years behind bars after pleading guilty to a spate of charges.
While Muhammed’s missteps were almost comical — in addition to setting his fellow rioters aflame, police were able to track him down due to DNA and a price tag left on one of his unexploded Molotov cocktails — his crimes definitely weren’t.
