The Portland Police Bureau have put out a call to the public to help catch a man they say sexually assaulted a woman at 3:30 in the morning on New Year's Day. She was reportedly hit over the head and then assaulted.
He's described as slender, and in his mid-20s, with greasy hair, reeking of booze and cigarettes. But the biggest clue? A gas-station-style jacket with a Pork Army patch.
The Pork Army is not pleased.
Pork Army is the booster group for Pork magazine, a punk lifestyle zine from artist Sean Aaberg devoted primarily to the Exploding Hearts and anything that pisses people off—including selling buttons, T-shirts, cut-off jean jackets and patches with swastikas and SS insignia.
Aaberg also runs a blog called the Daily Hitler, documenting Hitler in pop culture—from Trump picture to action figure.
In 2014, The Portland Mercury removed an article praising Pork's art after an activist complained both to the Mercury and to the Anti-Defamation League. Voodoo Doughnut has banned Pork from its stores.
The Pork Army posted a public call to catch the man on its Facebook page, writing: "DOES ANYONE RECOGNIZE THIS PIECE OF SHIT!? WE DO NOT WANT ANYONE WEARING PORK ARMY COLORS ASSAULTING ANYBODY – THIS IS NOT WHAT WE ARE ABOUT."

Other members of the Pork Army took up the call: "WHAT THE FUCK! THIS GUY NEEDS A FUCKING BASEBALL BAT TO THE BRAIN. Can you look through your Porkland pics or anything like that where his jacket and greasy hair could be spotted? this is just bad fucking news, I'm sorry Sean and Katie."
Others put out calls to sift through old photos from Pork Army gatherings, or made appropriate film references:
The man is still at large. Presumably, he is hiding his Pork Army patch.
