Fox ^ | 8/2/2023 | Lambert

Portland doctor said a homeless man knocked her unconscious while walking in the city, and then she waited more than 20 minutes without a police response.

"I do not hold the police accountable for this at all — I hold our city accountable for defunding the police," Mary Costantino, a radiologist, told Fox News. "We don't have enough police force to protect our citizens, and we did this to ourselves."

We live in strange times where the affluent (heck even middle classes!) live in fear of the mentally weak, poor and destitute.

Now people leave cities to gated communities even when they have to commute great distances daily, find “safe” pockets to shop. Yet are still almost hunted when they venture in the “wrong” areas.

That’s unpossible.

I remember LeBron James specifically saying black people were/are being hunted..

So it takes getting knocked upside the head for liberal to finally understand the obvious.

Damn right you did it to yourselves. ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES. Vote for maggots, you get maggots.

Yes. Indeed, you did exactly that, Dr. Costantino. And now, you’re making another in a series of mistakes. Yes, it’s going to be hard to sell your home, uproot your children, whatever particular circumstance applies to you, but there comes a time when it becomes necessary to cut one’s losses and move on. For you, that time has already come. The next time this happens to you, you’re going to be so angry at yourself for not having started the cut-our-losses-and-move-on process in the autumn of 2023.

Nah, she’ll just move and vote for the same kind of idiots as before. Because “muh abortion” or something.

“Mary Costantino, a radiologist”

Did she do her own x-rays I wonder? 🤔

Unfortunately, this is the only way to repudiate liberalism. It is impossible to outreason the liberal as to why their beliefs are invalid, because the only arguement they need are the feel-goods.

"I hold our city accountable for defunding the police

Don't blame the city, blame the idiotic voters who put liberals in charge of the city. It's always easier to point the finger of blame at someone else instead of accepting your own share of the blame.

She proves the adage “Many conservatives are former liberals who have been mugged.”

I hope it sticks and she passes that knowledge along to friends and family.
