When I was researching an article posting I did a couple of days ago, I happened upon this source: BikePortland. It's interesting because it contains candid discussions between members of the Portland "bike" community, all of whom are very far to the left but most of whom are quite articulate and willing to express themselves. Also, if you look at the various pictures of biker gatherings that are posted in the, it is impossible not to notice the very high percentage of members of one ... ah ... particular ... so to speak ... ethnic group. This despite lots of talk about inclusiveness, BIPOCs, marginalized groups, etc.
One thing that became apparent after reading quite a few of their "forum" entries is that many of the "bike paths" that were set up around Portland have become "homeless encampments." The link given in the heading to this post is one such (its title is Booby Trap today on columbia slough trail pictures attached. It describes a rather dangerous booby trap that was left across a bike trail, and shows the resulting injuries that the person who posted the thread suffered as a result. One of the posters down-thread identifies the person who constructed the booby trap as a homeless person who is "encamped" nearby.
The reason I’m posting this is because (1) the source is interesting, which you will see if you look at it, particularly at the comments after the more political stories, and (2) I realized that the “bike paths” that are going up around the country, including where I live, are future “homeless encampments” about which nothing will be done.
Agenda 21 and its subsequent versions is all about increasing population density around gov’t infrastructure.
Why would bike paths be exempt from The Plan?
Tats don’t provide the protection of leathers?
I got Antifa anxiety from that website. I am not woke.
It's ok. They can't get you. It's only a bunch of digital bits.
Having lived there...Portlandia is all about getting things for free, lots of sex and drugs and most important...
Sticking it to rich people.
I’ve never been to any city in the world more anti business than Portland.
The lefties will jump straight to totalitarianism when they finally get tired of the chaos their bone-headed policies have created.
They will skip right over law and order and jump directly to no rights for anyone.
Yes, that’s one of the pictures I saw. It was taken at the Multnomah Falls Restaurant. It’s possible to zoom in on the original (at the website) and get a close look at the faces.
I think I saw two non-whites.
Yes. Possibly.
Dem females in skirts are go riding?
Another pedestrian killed. Hit and run. My condolences to the family of the victim.
The lack of enforcement of any type has turned Portland into a “failed municipality”. Law breakers and criminals know there will likely be zero repercussions for their actions. It’s like the Wild West of yesteryear. Very Sad. Stay safe.
There are more that I read that basically say the same thing.
Will never understand why people continue to vote in and keep the losers that run their cities into cesspools and keep their now Gothem city that way.
Freak show.
Now of course the website is moderated, so its possible that non-conforming posts are deleted.
Defund the Police!
It is psychologically easier for them the blame anything other than their ideology for the mess they have created.
They have to change their entire worldview to do that.
Large numbers of people would rather die than change their worldview.
Maybe they ride side saddle.
Maybe not obvious, but probably 90% of them are LGBTQPPSM++++.
