Zachary Trudo, an AI (artificial intelligence) software developer who works for Google, was reportedly arrested in Portland the other day after allegedly committing numerous crimes at a Black Lives Matter (BLM) riot. Trudo is now being held at the Multnomah County Detention Center on charges of assault, resisting arrest, interfering with a peace officer, and trying to escape. He is an outspoken supporter of Bernie Sanders, and a self-described Marxist who, prior to his arrest, used social media to call for Portland to be “burned to the ground.”
Before being booked, Trudo had indicated online that he “couldn’t be more proud” of all the violence and chaos happening in Portland. He also wrote that “protesters are taking real action” against the system, which makes him happy.
