Tigard to Portland: Rejoin terrorism task force

TIGARD — When Portland city officials asked for public comment about joining a task force to fight terrorism, it probably didn’t expect to hear from the city of Tigard.
The Tigard City Council approved a resolution, Tuesday, urging the city of Portland to rejoin the Joint Terrorism Task Force, a group that partners the FBI with police and law enforcement agencies across the country.
For Tigard City Councilor Nick Wilson the choice is clear: Portland should rejoin. Now.
“What’s wrong with Portland?” Wilson said in an interview with The Times before Tuesday’s council meeting. “I mean it, what’s wrong with Portland?”
Wilson, who had family members at Pioneer Square the night of the bomb threat on Nov. 26, said that terrorist plots against Portland affect Tigard and other surrounding areas as well.
“Potential threats are regional in nature,” he said. “I don’t confine my activities to one city and neither do criminals.”
The Portland Police Bureau was pulled out of the multi-jurisdictional task force in 2005 amid concerns over anti-terrorism policies, but the issue resurfaced after the FBI arrested Mohamed Osman Mohamud for allegedly plotting to bomb the Nov. 26 Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Pioneer Courthouse Square.

Too many squishy leftists? Just a guess.
Downtown Portland is full of narcissistic, ignorant leftists.
The walking dead.
Where to begin. Do a YouTube search on Portlandia and you find the answer my friend.
“The walking dead.”
Pretty much. It’s where young people go to “retire”.
I would add a smiley, but it ain’t funny.
I just watched some of the promos on You Tube. It appears from the promos that the show is a comedy mocking many of the residents of the city for there dopey liberalism. I will have to watch the show. It may be funny. I definitely need a laugh.
Portland’s motto is “ keep it weird!”
They sure do a good job of it!
Just look at the mayor they elected.
Puke!
