Not surprising.
I have this strange feeling that God is calling all normal people to leave the left coast of America. That way when San Andreas actually goes into the sea, no one of substance will perish...
Sounds like they’re hiring a bunch of Hall Monitors.
Sounds like they are well on the way to becoming a socialist paradise......................
Years ago, you could tell this change in society occurring. If you were committing some crime....the cops were going to give a chance to give up and do some justice deal (prison sentence, etc). If it were a private citizen, there were fairly good odds that they’d just give a slight warning, then fire. There was no court business or prison sentence to mess with.
I think in the case of Cal/Ill, with both downsizing their police operations....you will see more public reaction where they take the criminal down....offer a marginal warning, then fire. Prisons will decrease with occupants as time goes by.
Never bring a knife to a gun fight..................
Wow.
Just wow.
Portland is the most atheist city in the US. The people voted for this situation.
The “homeless” are a protected class because they create the need for many government programs that are really nothing but slush funds for the politically connected.
If we had an honest media there would be serious investigative report that follow the money.
As an aside it should be noted that in any civilized society there is a social contract between the government and the citizens. One is that “justice” is to be left in the hands of the government. In exchange of not seeking your own justice the government assures their citizens that they would see that wrong doers would be held accounted for their crimes.
This is usually more in theory then in fact but for the most part the citizens are willing to allow the government to do the job.
However, when the government will not or can not hold up to their part of the bargain the people will.
I suspect we will see more cases of vigilantism in the future.

Yep, and the state is one of the first to legalize doctor assisted suicide.
Exactly! The good folk of the west coast need to move to the Midwest. We need them here...and it is safe (for now)
Charles Bronson’s Death Wish Character would have a ball living there.
Always amused at cops with the name of Outlaw.
What was once called evil is being called good. What was once called good is called evil.
I think that was a Biblical warning, not a suggested state motto
Public defecation? Just another Soulard Mardi Gras in St Louis.
I’d never seen one before.
Inquiring minds want to know: How big and well armed is the mayor’s security detail?
