(Portland, Oregon) Mayor Sam Adams decried the gun violence that broke out again in Portland Friday night after the Jefferson High School football game and said Portland police are "out in full strength" to prevent any tit-for-tat shootings.
Six teenagers were wounded in the area of North Albina Avenue and Jessup Street around 11:20 p.m. The mother of one of the wounded youths said her son had been released from the hospital today, but the other five teens were still being treated.
"To be very blunt, illegal guns have swamped the city," Adams said Saturday morning after being updated by police on the latest incident. He said it was too early to say whether Friday night's shooting was part of the violent grudge matches between rival sets of African American gangs which have claimed at least seven lives this year.

Police say 6 people shot in North Portland late Friday
Six people were shot -- all with non-life-threatening injuries -- in the area of North Albina Avenue and Jessup Street late Friday.
One witness said the victims were teens who had attended the Jefferson High School football game earlier in the evening.
Witnesses told police the suspects ran from the area after the shooting.
Police suspect the incident, which happened about 11:20 p.m., is gang-related.
But how is this possible in a State and City that have been Uber-Liberal Meccas for Decades??
How is it that electing a teenage chasing homosexual Mayor has not been the answer to preventing all of these kinds of problems??
How has all of Portland's "investment" in Light Rail not prevented all of this??
I suppose that the Millions Portland City Council is about to invest in its "Office of Equity" will fix everything.....
Maybe they need to sit these Crips and Bloods down together and try reasoning with them........or maybe they all just need new bicycles.....
!
sarcasm off...
Oregon & Washington *ping* please!
Don’t you know that guns, on their own, try to find black hands and hypnotize black people to pull the trigger? It’s in liberal playbook page 67...
Midnite Bassetball.....
Guns have swamped the city? Like a plague of locusts dropped from the sky? How can this be in the liberal paradise of Portland??
“To be very blunt, illegal guns have swamped the city,” Adams said ....”
Liberalism created a “Refuge for Feral Featherless Bipeds”.
This is what the voters voted for, so let them bleed and shut up about the consequences of their voting history.
“...Portland police are out in full strength to prevent any tit-for-tat shootings...”

I know what a tit is; but what is a tat?
Kids? But there is a law that says people under 21 can’t carry guns!
We need a new law- people under 21 really, really can’t have guns “on the street”. Thatlfixit!
Sam Adams, typical of Portland Mayors, is an imbecile.
Internecine tribal warfare.
Since liberals are clueless when it comes to American history, it appears that his parents named him after a bottle of beer.
Did Sammy Adams forget that they no longer have law enforcement? They have “Peacekeepers.”

“Illegal guns?” More likely illegal immigrants with guns....IDIOT mayor in liberal la la land of Portland....they get what they promote
I would hope that the law-abiding citizens in and around the area would arm themselves and stay alert to their surroundings,
This is a rough part of town.
How can such a Liberal Icon of a “town” even have a “rough part”..??
illegal guns have swamped the city
