Oregon's most populous county dropping charges against hundreds of people accused of various crimes, including hit-and-run incidents and assaults

Hundreds of suspected wife-beaters, burglars, drunk drivers, and berserkers of various intensity will not face justice in Oregon's most populous county, according to leftist Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt. For lack of public defenders, dangerous personalities are being set free under the justified impression that Portland, the slogan of which is "the City that Works," is a legally dysfunctional city in a legally dysfunctional county.

Schmidt announced on Monday that in "February of this year, a Multnomah County Circuit Court judge dismissed the first of what is now nearing 300 cases due to a lack of defense counsel over my objection on the basis of victims’ rights."

The ardent BLM supporter indicated that every week since, judges have dismissed case hearings, meaning accused criminals are being cut loose.

Citing "a lack of public defenders to provide counsel to defendants," Schmidt indicated that the "courts are put in the position of releasing defendants without prosecutors having so much as an opportunity to request bail or release conditions. And it’s not getting any better."

This is the county that passed one of the strictest gun control bills in the nation. Portland pretty much runs the state. Nearly every rural oregonian outside Portland has their guns already. But now the minorities will be screwed. When you hear of a shooting death in Oregon it is nearly always North East Portland right around MLK BLVD. The bill was so bad even the communists opposed it. Mike Schmidt was the one who refused to prosecute many or the domestic terrorists who burned the city. Rose City Antifa is a VERY politically powerful mafia in that city. They have been in the back ground since the 90s. I do hope Portland will enjoy their newly cleared criminals.

Multnomah County will lose between 10,000 to 20,000 people by the end of 2023. Which was the amount they lost in 2022.

Portlandia is in bad shape moving forward, good times won’t happen for sometime in that locality.

How do I know this?

I’m 30 miles south in a Republican County and like to take field trips into ‘liberal thunderdome.’

“Its an eye opening experience.”

The social contract is broken there. Coming to much of America soon.

What I don’t understand is WHY. What’s the endgame here?

All part of the larger Cloward-Piven strategy for collapsing the USA. Just break everything, until there is nothing but chaos, both social and economic. Soros paid for all those DAs for a reason.

That's how it used to be, but now there is no one single hot spot, although the most likely place for one to get shot is Old Town, where the homeless/drug addicts/drug dealers have reached critical mass. But shootings are occurring all over the city.
