"I quit looking at it. People I know in the community were like, ‘thank you,’ and [asking] 'will you please do this?' And I was like, yes. And then I woke up to my neighbor calling me and letting me know, hey, all your windows are busted out," she told Carley Shimkus. 

Guzman added that there was paint sprayed throughout the building earlier this week.

The mayor of Portland, Democrat Ted Wheeler, said that the people who vandalized the business will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, including possible federal hate crime charges. Guzman is a Native American whose store is reportedly filled with tribal artwork and other symbols honoring her heritage. 

Police said the masked thugs also discharged a fire extinguisher all over the store.
