A Tesla dealership in downtown Portland was targeted by protests that raised concerns for the safety of its employees. According to Koin 6, 27-year-old Davis Nafshun attended a protest against Elon Musk near the dealership, where he reportedly aimed a green laser pointer at people inside the building. The situation led the police to respond to a call from the Tesla dealership located at 4330 South Macadam Avenue, which reported that protesters were outside, with one individual pointing lasers at employees.

Using a high-power laser pointer to shine light into someone’s eyes can cause permanent vision damage. This is why all laser pointers carry warnings advising against shining them at people. The American Academy of Ophthalmology states that lasers with more than five milliwatts of power can cause long-term damage and even permanent blindness. Furthermore, the longer the laser is aimed at the eye, the greater the risk of injury.

Oregon has become a significant hotspot of anti-Elon sentiment, with multiple incidents of attacks on Tesla dealerships. It is crucial to seek federal support to address the increasing threats and acts of violence within the state.
