Ironically, the man who attempted to commit this criminal act of terrorism and murder advertised the No Kings protests in an Instagram reel, calling for Trump to be indicted “for the crimes he’s committed and is continuing to plan to commit.”
“He’s a convicted felon and likely a narcissist. He’s a fascist ruler, and we’re going to get rid of him,” Wick said, calling for radicals to occupy the streets and strike against their jobs until Trump is out of office and indicted.
The Post Millennial reports,
Alexander Robert Wick, 38, of Portland, was booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center on felony charges including first-degree attempted arson, unlawful manufacture of a destructive device, possession of a destructive device, and first-degree criminal mischief.

Officers searched the area and located a bucket with an explosive device, prompting an immediate freeway closure around 9:20 pm. The Metro Area Explosives Disposal Unit (MEDU) responded and rendered the device safe. A joint federal and local investigation later revealed that the device was a viable improvised explosive (IED). The freeway was shut down in both directions for nearly an hour.
