A naked man was arrested over the weekend in Portland, Oregon, after he attempted to kidnap a 7-year-old girl from her mother at a waterfront park, according to police.

Shortly before 7 p.m. on Saturday, Portland Police received reports of a naked man running around Tom McCall Waterfront Park, with one of the callers saying the man had attempted to punch them in the head.

But police said all officers were busy responding to other calls and were not available at the time.

About 12 minutes later, another caller reported that the suspect had grabbed a young girl and attempted to pull her away from her mother.

Officers then responded to the scene and found the nude suspect swimming nearby in the Willamette River.

In this kind of fight one kick to the groin is called for.

When the dude bends over from that a knee to the face settles the issue.

Secure until police arrive.

Tough case for the jury to unravel.

“All of our officers are with other victims right now, but your call is very important to us. If you leave your name and number, we’ll get right back to you in the next...two business days. Thank you and have a nice day.”

Back in the civilized days of old, the naked fellow would be surrounded by real men who would beat the living Obamastuff out of the turd...who would never do that again.

When will we learn?

As for Portland, yup, keep underfunding the police and act surprised when real men finally have had enough and start handing out real justice. And that real justice will be also applied to leftist politicians.

Color me shocked!

“Bystanders intervene”?

In Portland?

I thought they’d help or join in …

“ all officers were busy responding to other calls and were not available at the time”

Probably too busy with feeding the infinite homeless they attract who eventually go naked kidnapping.

I’m surprised citizens stepped in and got involved.
If they hurt the perp’s feelings, they’re going to jail.

He might get up and try to kill you or run, so while he’s on the ground holding his face from your knee, stomp with all your weight with one foot on his knee from the side.

Then he can’t stand or run.

When putting down a rabid animal, be safe!

Daniel Vasey...arrested on charges of first and second-degree attempted kidnapping, first-degree custodial interference, third-degree assault and harassment.

Portland Ore? Isn't that where "protesters" burned the courthouse repeatedly? With few to no consequences?

"2020: Portland officers late Tuesday declared a riot outside the county building after demonstrators in a crowd of about 200 started fires in dumpsters, used rocks to smash first floor windows and tossed burning material inside."

Let me guess: In this case: all charges dropped and the homeless drug addict released back onto the street.

No commentary allowed on the original article on the NYPost.

“surrounded by real men “. Well, there aren’t many of us left, I’m afraid. Women who want their boys to be girls and those who sit behind a play station and play video games all day. I always carry a sharpened pocketknife on me and if I was there, he would be in serious trouble. Castration comes to mind.

So a naked man was running around and threatening people. And the police were too busy.

Not blaming the cops. Very much blaming the Portland politicians.
And it’s just gonna get worse.

"The child’s father and bystanders also jumped in and punched, slapped and pulled on the suspect, causing him to release the girl."

Punch? Slap?! Pull?!?

"Portland, Oregon".

Oh. That explains it.

Let's hope the "Portland police", when they eventually arrived, didn't put the handcuffs on too tightly.
