Portland, Ore., one of America’s safer cities.

That statement alone discredits the entire article. The mayor, Charlie Hales, is a far-left DemonRAT. In fact the whole city is under the thumb of fascist 'RATs and union goons. It may be among the most unsafe places in all of the 57 states. Crime, muggings and assaults breed where leftists are the majority.

[Portland] may be among the most unsafe places in all of the 57 states.

Got a link for that?

Portland's 2012 murder rate was 3.3/100k. Compare that to, say, Dallas's 12.4 or Detroit's 54.6.

False; it does not discredit the entire article. The point is that American cities, not states, are unsafe and have a higher level of violence. It is not so because of the left wing politics of the city residents. It is due to the lawlessness and violence of certain subgroups in those cities, who are alienated from God and the normal civilization that occurs in families. One of the safest American cities is Burlington, Vermont, which is too small and not diverse enough to really argue the case for America's failed cities.
