Electric blackout ends 17 hour Portland restaurant hostage drama
Three gunmen Muse Cavantoy and Kelly seized 12 hostages at Ringside East Restaurant demanding 500000 and a Canada flight. A Portland General Electric crew cut power to free the last hostages after 17 hours with no fatalities though a waitress complained of abdominal pain. The suspects face multiple counts of first degree kidnapping robbery and coercion. The incident began when masked gunmen stormed the restaurant and deputies arrived soon after. The hostage crisis included claims of drug and liquor influence and a religious adviser comment.

Guardians president Willie Bell cited 500 of 690 laid off being black or women as the anger grew, amid Mayor Coleman A Young’s push for affirmative action. In Los Angeles, roughly 500 off duty officers picketed City Hall demanding higher pay, the first such action in the department’s history.
