Why declare a riot now? This has been going on for a year.

Soon they will have destroyed the shithole and settle down to repressive communism. Anyone with the means and common sense will have left by now. Pray for those trapped without the means to leave.

In Portland we have the flower power generation’s kids and
grand-kids coming of age.

For three generations now, there have been people who were
unbelievably challenged with regard to morality, and now
their children and grand-children are leading the way
there.

For decades now we have witnessed the moronic leadership at
high-schools dismissing the kids from graduation exercises
with the word, “You are the new leaders of the world.”

Too much brainless belief in that, as if they were in any
way prepared to lead, has had it’s toll on society.

Many of these kids out on the streets now, heard those very
words in their relatively recent past.

Can’t wait to see what their generation brings... /s

There is a theory out there that about ever third
generation the kids rebel, and go in a different direction
than their parents.

One can only hope...

Residents are in denial. “That’s all happening on the other side of town.”

My friend’s beautiful daughter and even more beautiful new grandchild live there. Daughter and her husband are vets with a lucrative veterinary clinic, and somehow money is more important to them their child’s wellbeing.

Woohoo. Way to go, Portland! Burn, baby, burn.

You reap what you sow. We will see if they ever learn. Nah, I doubt it.

Is there a point when residents will get sick of this?

These ARE the residents.

The helicopters might need a GoFundMe page for fuel.
I’d contribute to that.

No. The residents and the city leadership are the ones who approve of this behavior.

How do you think it has gotten as bad as it has in the last year? Because they want it that way.

Trump: “Make no mistake. This left-wing cultural revolution is designed to overthrow the American Revolution. In so doing, they would destroy the very civilization that rescued billions from poverty, disease, violence, and hunger and that lifted humanity to new heights of achievement, discovery, and progress. To make this possible, they are determined to tear down every statue, symbol, and memory of our national heritage.”
