A Multnomah County Circuit Court judge on Friday sentenced a well-known Portland-area street brawler to an additional 2 years in prison for his role in a violent melee outside an abandoned Kmart in east Portland in 2021.

Tusitala “Tiny” Toese already faced a mandatory minimum sentence of five years and 10 months in prison after he was convicted in March of 10 charges – including two counts of second-degree assault and riot – for egging on his fellow Proud Boys during a street battle with left-wing protesters on Northeast 122nd Avenue.


Toese was one of three men, all known as right-wing activists, originally charged in the Parkrose neighborhood clash. Miles Farrow, of Oregon City, pled guilty as part of a plea deal and was sentenced to probation. Charges were dropped against the other man but may be reinstated in the future, Senior Deputy District Attorney Nathan Vasquez said in court Friday.

Judge Amy Baggio sentenced Toese to the additional 25 months for the riot conviction, to be served back-to-back with the mandatory 70-month sentence for second-degree assault. The additional sentence could be reduced by up to five months if Toese is credited for good behavior while incarcerated.

1. Great news!

Here’s hoping more charges will be coming to crush the shrinking numbers of unincarcerated PB’s soon.

2. Isn't that the incident where Portland police took a hands off approach?

There has seemed to be a fair number of RW within the police dept in Portland.

3. To be fair to PPB

They were engaged in an unofficial work slowdown at the time. Citizens and even a council member had the temerity to say "de-fund" out loud, and the whole bureau simultaneously felt the need to avoid doing as much of their normal duties as possible, completely coincidentally, im sure.

How could anyone reasonably expect them to hold to even their normal minimal response to RW insurgents when they all had blue flu except for protest duty time.
