Portland residents are sounding the alarm on the city's crime crisis after more than 300 criminal cases in the area were dismissed, including some related to felony theft, possession of a stolen vehicle, gun charges and more.
As Oregon faces a public defender shortage, residents say they wish they were surprised by the news, but activist district attorneys and a flawed justice system have culminated into a far more significant dilemma over time.
"We're paying these public defenders slowly, and we're paying them badly, and they don't want to work for the state. The state controls this," area resident Angela Todd said Thursday on "Fox & Friends First."

It is already happening to a few clone cities north in WA state. The baddies are more and more brazen by the day.
Be armed and (more) dangerous is my motto!

Time to embrace the suck, Portlanders. Unfortunately, that includes the people who DIDN’T vote for the clown-show government they have.

I wonder if my old college friend still has his Auto-5 from his long-ago duck hunting days tucked away in the closet. It might come in handy.

Can’t find any compassion for Portlands people....they certainly asked and provided, encouraged and rolled out the carpet for this to happen.

Something we won’t allow to happen in Texas. We’ll make the Gunfight at the O.K. corral look like a game of rummy. Add ANOTHER MEANING TO “COME AND TAKE IT!”

Portland resident warns criminals will turn to home break-ins as businesses flee city Yeah but they don't have one of those awful "stand your ground" laws, so things won't get out of hand.

But they still keep voting for Democrats. That ‘none so blind...’ saying applies.

Having a Woke Democrat administration running your city is the political equivalent of a nuclear bomb going off in the city.

“Oregon faces a public defender shortage”
Why would they need public defenders when they just release all the criminals back on the streets anyway?
