A man whose ingenious pop-up swimming pool kept the homeless cool during the recent heat wave was fatally stabbed in the same spot just one day later, according to Portland police.
Officers identified Tyson L. Morlock as the man who was found stabbed in the inner eastside Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood at Division Street and Southeast Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard around 3:37 a.m. on Thursday, July 1.
Despite life-saving efforts from paramedics, he died shortly thereafter in a nearby hospital, according to authorities.
Morlock, 27, had been interviewed the previous day, June 30, by a reporter on assignment for the Reuters news agency.
"There's not a lot of places you can go in the community where you can be safe," Morlock said, according to a tweet from the reporter, Sergio Olmos.

Homeless people are not “down on their luck”. They are mentally ill, drug users, or functionally illiterate. It is rare that a homeless person is simply experiencing hard times and will recover. This makes them dangerous.
You totally missed my point. On your topic I recommend reading up on the controversy regarding the Portland Water Bureau.
To say it’s ‘enlightening’ is a gross understatement. The hypocrisy of Portland bureaucrats knows no bounds.

My kids had to read some book about South Africa and how Aparthed should be ended. “Cry the Beloved Country”. The guy was Swedish I think and lived in S. Africa with a S. African wife.
The guy is dead, the country is now ruled by blacks, and his black wife wrote a short story (or an editorial) titled something like “Cry for my beloved country.” She talks about having to have fences around her home in a fancy neighborhood in S. Africa, how murders and theft occur despite the fences, etc. She now sees the errors of their thinking.

Above is the letter where she writes about leaving S. Africa:
“A character in Cry, The Beloved Country says:
“I have one great fear in my heart, that one day when they are turned to loving they will find we are turned to hating.”
And so it has come to pass. There is now more racial tension in this country than I have ever known.
But it is not just about black-on-white crime. It is about general lawlessness. Black people suffer more than the whites. They do not have access to private security firms, and there are no police stations near them in the townships and rural areas. They are the victims of most of the hijackings, rapes and murders. They cannot run away like the whites, who are streaming out of this country in their thousands....”
While my kids had to read her husband’s book - I also had them read her more recent letter.
