Wall of grandma: Two elderly women who stood up to the mob in Portland have become heroes in the neighborhood
KGW 8 tracked down both women, who live in the neighborhood near the police precinct that was being vandalized. Penny is 73-years-old and was the woman who put out a fire set in a trash can. Wednesday night they broke windows and it was a real mess, she told KGW. She added, I m very, very pro Black Lives Matter but I just think that the vandalism sabotages the message.
After Penny put out the fire, someone came up and stole her fire extinguisher while another protester used a paint can to try to smash the plywood outside the precinct. Then the protesters lit the fire again.
The other woman who stood up to the mob was 77-year-old Coby. She s the one who got doused with paint. I just got heated under the collar and I went up and said Hey, this is not okay,’ she said. She told the crowd, You re not helping my black friends.
