So Portland Ore, is Complaining - guohua - 08-03-2021 Last year Portland Oregon voted to Defund their Police,,,,, Quote:Portland City Council defunds police bureau by $15 millionAnd Quote:On Wednesday, Eudaly voted no again, and said her primary concern a week earlier had been that Portland was not reducing the overall number of police officers. She had proposed cutting many more positions within the police bureau. Okay, Now Portland Oregon has a problem and they are Whining about it. Quote:Portland, Ore., Can’t Find Police for Unit to Fight Rising Murder RateGee, Stupid, I wonder Why!!?? Isn't Portland the Democrat City of Utopia and Love and Nonviolence?? Quote:Leaders in Portland, Ore., are looking to combat the city’s rising homicide rate by resurrecting a police unit focused on gun violence. But after a year of growing tension within the department, they can’t find enough officers to join. Really, Why???? Quote:“They’re demonizing and vilifying you, and then they want to put you in a unit where you’re under an even bigger microscope,” said Daryl Turner, head of the union that represents Portland’s officers. RE: So Portland Ore, is Complaining - Mystic Wanderer - 08-03-2021 What did they expect? My lord, only a dumb airhead wouldn't know where this would go. Serves them right, if you ask me. They made their bed, now they have to lie in it. Sorry if it's all lumpy and uncomfortable for you.

RE: So Portland Ore, is Complaining - Nomnomine - 08-03-2021 I'm sure if they protest and riot because of the crime rate. It will solve that for em too. Lol, like they didn't know the entire world was like "defunding police isn't a good idea." Morons. RE: So Portland Ore, is Complaining - BIAD - 08-03-2021 When a person is in the 'Now Zone', it's very difficult to see the whole situation. For instance, the current politicised flu-panic is practically over according to the media in the UK, but in Australia, the Coof seems to be a dangerous virus that is waiting for anyone to step out of their home. Two ends of the same spectrum and obviously two different narratives, but the cause and solution are supposed to be the same. The overall social-qualities, geographical differences, political-control of the two countries are not taken into account and they both are just seen through the lens of any current woes. So when it comes to offering tourists the best sides of Portland Oregon, one might think the Latourell Falls of the Columbia river or Washington Park would be what perspective visitors would ask about. However, being in that 'Now Zone' demands any advertiser of Portland's potential as a holiday destination, to answer queries that reflect a very poor-light on the city from those outside of it. From TravelPortland.com, a website where in most places in the US, possible vacationers would be asking about attractions, comprehensive amenities, nearby food outlets, good accommodation and other questions that could benefit a trip to Portland. Quote:Safety in Portland: Frequently Asked Questions Remember, this is a page that is supposed to expound the virtues of Portland! Think a two-child family trip and instead worrying if the kids will get quickly bored or the hotel isn't as nice as last year, you're wondering if you'll witness a burning building or one of your children will be hit by a stray bullet! The current circumstances of the city are so stained, that even those who are trying to lure visitors to the North-West State are batting away questions of safety with the idea that you just roll the dice and take your chances! Quote:What’s it like in downtown Portland right now? Is downtown Portland safe? And fair enough, the Coof impacts any strata of human society and so the question has to be asked. Quote:What COVID-19 restrictions are in place in Portland? A few years ago, the title -as another name for Portland, would've been Beirut!

Plain English translation: "You are only about 3 times as likely to get shot in Portland today as compared to a year and a half ago." Quote:Portland’s increase in gun violence is concerning, which is why plans are in place to address it. Hedge-word: "most". Quote:In December 2020, Mayor Ted Wheeler, Police Chief Chuck Lovell and Office of Violence Prevention Director Nike Greene announced Plain English translation: "Yes, you will get shot in Portland, but we are hiring more medical staff to plug any holes created in you by our mostly peaceful citizens, and more investigators to ask you questions AFTER you get shot". Quote:The mayor also enlisted the Police Bureau and Office of Violence Prevention to submit budget requests that better reflect their needs to Plain English translation: "We don't care about ball-bat violence or bicycle chain lock violence, as those are perpetrated by our Antifa pets. We only care about gun violence, and will not be addressing any other types of violence perpetrated against you in Portland. We do not believe violence is the problem here, we believe guns are." Quote:How is Portland addressing police reform? Plain English translation: "We are addressing police reform by defunding the police to starve them out and cut their jobs, while reapplying that money to hire more social workers to hand out hypodermic needles to the homeless population". This passage also begs the question of what is "affordable" housing to a homeless population with no income beyond panhandling just enough to buy their next bottle or crack rock? Quote:A few years ago, the title -as another name for Portland, would've been Beirut! Beirut was a tad less dangerous than Portland. In Beirut, you could potentially cross the street unscathed if you could run and zig-zag fast enough. In Portland, that avenue of approach is blocked by the mobs of "mostly peaceful" protesters. Don't worry, though - those mobs will not shoot you, they will instead thrash you with sticks and metal objects. Gun violence bad, all other forms of violence good. It's just a matter of having visitors adjust their attitudes towards what is good violence versus what is bad violence perpetrated upon themselves... ... you see, it is not Portland, it is the bad attitudes of visitors to Portland! They just ain't got their minds right yet! . RE: So Portland Ore, is Complaining - ABNARTY - 08-04-2021 In the Land of the Free, Home of the Brave, they get whatever they elect. This falls squarely on the voting citizens of Portland. There where other choices. Other candidates. Other ways to go. But, nope. It's amazing Portland (as well as other cities) has survived thus far. I guess the mayor and the rest of the bunch are as inept at destroying a community as they are at maintaining one. Sort of a purgatorial limbo. Enjoy, fine citizens of Portlandia. RE: So Portland Ore, is Complaining - pointessa - 08-04-2021 I live in Washington State. We of course have Seattle which is almost on par with Portland. My sister and I went on a road trip which involved driving through Portland. It used to be such an incredibly beautiful city. We drove by miles of tent cities on side walks with garbage thrown all over pouring out into the streets. It was so depressing and potentially dangerous, we decided to avoid it on our way back up the coast. Seattle, which use to be wonderful is now pretty much the same. It seems their is plenty of fentynl and meth to go around. To be fair, most of Oregon is not of the same ilk as the pathologically woke Portland area. I have a sneaking suspicion dark forces are conspiring to make "port" cities unlivable and are waiting to buy the land out when it does.

I think you hit the nail on the head there, Pointessa. There's a lot of 'land-vulturing' going around! RE: So Portland Ore, is Complaining - guohua - 08-05-2021 |
