This resolves by the end of 2024. There's an option for we won't know.
Since resolution might end up somewhat subjective (what group does the perp most closely belong to?), I won't be participating in this market.

@Lorelai "Since resolution might end up somewhat subjective (what group does the perp most closely belong to?)"
I'll use my judgement. If it's for example someone who has been with Proud Boys or Patriot Prayer (is that still a thing?) for years and received some money from Putin for bombs, I'll resolve MAGA. I'll mostly follow what mainstream media sentiment goes with.
Portland Police Bureau spokesman Mike Benner says the suspect, who is linked to the two attacks and another in Vancouver on Oct. 8, is a white male between 30 to 40 years old. He’s balding or has very short hair, was wearing a dark shirt, and has a thin face.
Benner says police believe the suspect has “a wealth of experience” in metal fabrication and welding.
There are also updates to the description of the suspect vehicle. It’s a dark-colored or black Volvo S60 with a model year between 2001 and 2004. Benner said there are some places on it that are more matte in color than a standard shiny finish and it has a tan or light gray interior. It has dark wheels, unpainted body trim, and no front license plate. It also has an aftermarket grille with the Volvo emblem missing.
