They don't even call themselves "LIEbrals" anymore in Portland – everyone is now a latte drinking, arugula eating, marijuana smoking pagan wicca massage "progressive". There are only three radio stations in town (Pacifica, Air America, and the local NPR affiliate), and with Obama in the White House even the anti-war activist bomb throwers are nowhere to be found.

To add excitement to this stoned out hamlet their justice system has seen fit to release onto the streets a woman who was arrested for attempting to perform her own home circumcisions using a box cutter and a pair of pliers.

If you live in Portland, keep all your male children within sight at all times and men are encouraged to arm themselves appropriately.

Portland mother who tried to circumcise her son at home is released from jail, awaits trial

A 29-year-old mother of four who is accused of trying to circumcise her 3-month-old son at home - but called 9-1-1 after she realized she botched the surgery - has been released from jail.

Keemonta Peterson posted $500 and was released from jail with the requirement that she regularly check in with a Close Street Supervision deputy. Her first name is also spelled Keemonte.

Portland police began investigating Peterson after responding to a call for medical help at 2 a.m. Oct. 24 at a house near East Burnside Street and 127th Avenue. The boy was rushed to a local hospital and initially listed in critical condition. Information about his health status today was not available.

It's unclear why Peterson attempted to circumcise her son herself, but papers filed with the court make a vague reference to "religious reasons."

A month ago, after a long investigation, Peterson was charged with first- and second-degree assault and first-degree criminal mistreatment. She was booked into jail, where she was held in lieu of $550,000 bail. Earlier this week in Multnomah County Circuit Court, Judge David Rees agreed to lower her bail to $5,000 - meaning she'd have to post $500 to get out.

Prosecutor John Casalino opposed the lowering of Peterson's bail. But the Close Street Supervision deputy who will monitor her supported a much lower bail - saying she presents a minimal risk to the community and won't likely re-offend. In the months after the October incident, Peterson had been receiving mental-health counseling three times a week. She is unemployed, but had recently been caring for an ailing aunt.

UPDATE

More details emerge about Portland mom who is accused of trying to circumcise her baby at home

…

The 29-year-old mom told a Portland police detective that she’d been inspired to circumcise her baby after reading the Old Testament.

The only problem was, her son was already three months old. And she was aware that pediatricians at OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital wouldn’t circumcise him because he was too old, she told police.

According to papers filed in Multnomah County Circuit Court this week and obtained by The Oregonian, the prosecution publicly outlined its case for the first time:

Keemonta Peterson told police she watched some YouTube videos about circumcisions. Then around midnight on the morning of Oct. 24 - using a box cutter as a scalpel and a pair of pliers as a tourniquet - she began the procedure. She had no experience.

When the bleeding wouldn’t stop, she tried to stitch her baby up. Her 13-year-old son watched on in distress. After two hours of uncontrolled bleeding, Peterson decided she needed help and called 9-1-1 to her home near East Burnside Street and 127th Avenue.

Medics rushed the infant to OHSU, where he was initially listed in critical condition.

…

According to the prosecutor’s motion, a doctor described the baby’s condition upon arrival as life threatening, and the pain as immense.

Today, the boy appears to have recovered, with no apparent permanent injury.

…

She told authorities that she follows the “Hebrew” religion, but doesn’t attend services at any particular establishment.

An OHSU spokeswoman said it's true that pediatricians at OHSU won't perform circumcisions on boys older than four weeks because of the increased pain, need for general anesthesia and greater risk of bleeding. But urologists at the hospital will perform the procedure on boys older than four weeks.
