A pro-crime Portland liberal was filmed pleading with homeless men that they should only target 'rich scum' after her iPhone was stolen.
Independent journalist Kevin Dahlgren captured the moment the unidentified woman pleads with the vagrants who she believed had her phone.
'If you stole it from rich scum, by all means keep it and sell it, but I'm, like, really [lovely],' the woman said in the clip taken by photographer Tara Faul.
'If you guys come up with my iPhone, I will give you more than... Like, I'm an honest person,' she added.
Dahlgren later reported that, despite her pleas, the woman did not get her phone back.
The woman also claimed she would not call the police, according to the journalist.
It's not clear what the woman was doing in the area or how her phone was stolen, but Dahlgren described her as a liberal activist.
Portland and other cities across the western US have struggled to address a growing number of homeless encampments.
Many officials say they need to be able to manage encampments to keep streets safe and sanitary, while advocacy groups say people shouldn’t be criminally punished for lacking housing.
