They have a giraffe for a police chief...what did they expect?
Just keepin’ it weird.
I may have to revise my tagline.
During my past visits there, I named the “homeless” as “human pigeons” — Always underfoot, begging for handouts, and crapping everywhere.
I’m not planning on returning anytime soon.
I dunno much about her. But mebbe we should cut her a l'il slack.
Seems like she's pissin off the right people ta me. Hehehe. d;^)
Exactly! The good folk of the west coast need to move to the Midwest. We need them here...and it is safe (for now)
Mayor: “All is well”
I said, the “good ones” ;-)
obligatory offering of “Portlandia”:

The first few episodes are pretty funny...
In this great Republic, the duty of keeping the peace originates with We the People. If our uniformed servants can't or won't do the job they were hired to do, it reverts back to us.
good ones will stay there and fight - they allowed the mess to happen and they can clean it up not bring it here.
Portland is now consistently #2 on the top trafficked police scanners on the Scanner Pro app. Chicago is #1.
The show ended last season. The creators said Portland wasn't funny any more.
My 74 year old sister and husband live in Portland.
About a year ago, a city employee knocked on their front door. Because they live in what used to be county (and is now city), they have a larger than typical city lot. The employee explained that their larger lot is perfect for a tiny home for vagrants, excuse me, homeless. He said she should share some of her bounty (his word) for having such a large lot. He also said their property is perfect for a neighborhood garden, based on his survey of the lot (yup. He peeked over her fence)
The city would build the tiny house. If my sister would allow vagrants to live there for 3 years rent free, the city would gift her the tiny house.
She asked him a few saliant questions - who manages the crime and litter that comes from the vagrant “community” that comes from these tiny houses?
She is liable and responsible, he said. But that is fair trade off for a free tiny house.
So she asked if her property taxes would go up as she now had an additional structure on her property. Yes, but minimally, the employee replied.
So after 5 seconds of thought, she told the employee to get the Hell off her property!!
That’s Portland, folks!
Well what the city employee was giving to her was an offer, a suggestion if you will, not (yet) confiscation.
I wonder when a new law will pass making his offer COMPULSORY...
Scary Portland. This is what you get when liberals take the reins.
2nd Amendment specifically states it’s need for a free State.
If she had shot the bastard, I would not vote to convict.

Exactly right! The Midwest already has dingbats running Illinois, Minnesota and soon Wisconsin. No need for transplanted SJW's messing with the Midwest any further.
