PORTLAND, Ore. — Multnomah County said it is suspending plans to distribute tin foil, straws and snorting kits to drug users across the Portland area.

According to the county, the health department moved forward with the proposal without going through the proper protocols.

Couldn't have been outrage from the general public..

Does the County have plans to rejoin America?

Reminds me I need to carry a roll of aluminum foil in the car with me. In case you encounter a bona fide nutjob:

Its ok I believe you, thats why I’m here. Take this foil and go make yourself a hat.

Gives you several minutes to get away.

***********

They don’t & they consider themselves the real America.....the liberal enlightened America.
‘MultNutty’ County is perfectly happy being part of the embarrassing West Coast political system.

Fun fact: The last time MultNutty Co voted for a Republican President was 1960, since then straight democrat.

Aw c’mon man. Go all in. Give them the fentanyl too, and carfentanyl laced Narcan!

[Chode]

but they’re already bought and paid for and the grift already grifted... right???

I think liberal cities should just provide them free lodging
and free everything else. They aren’t capable of earning a
living for themselves, and it’s only proper they have the
necessities to enjoy life.

Calling all liberals. Time to pitch in to take care of
everyone you say you support. Break out the room your
kids no longer occupy. Get these fine upstanding people
into your home and out of our face.

Thanks in advance...

Liberals will never learn from their mistakes. 15 years ago it was the same county department (Health) that advertised for a mental health councilor fluent in Klingon.

"The Health Department remains confident that a robust harm reduction approach is essential to supporting our community, including people who use drugs, their loved ones, and individuals who experience the secondary and tertiary impacts of drug use in our community," a department spokesperson said.

The problem with this noble sentiment is that secondary and tertiary impacts include honest citizens being subjected to burglary, armed robbery, petty theft, oral and physical harassment on the streets, and needles and human feces on the sidewalks, all at the hands of the beneficiaries of this free paraphernalia. Said honest citizens also get to pay for the whole thing through taxes the druggies don't pay.

Could they send some tin foil my way, so I can make new hat to try and protect myself from whatever has taken control of their minds??

[LukeL]

This is the same county that once elected John Bunnell as Sheriff.

[A strike]

Now will be done on the ‘down low’.

There is that reported thing again: tin foil.

Where are they going to find it?

It went away a few years after WWII to be replaced by aluminum foil.

[Lockbox]

Paper or plastic straw?

[llevrok]

Paper or plastic straw?

straws for drinks? Bad

straws for drugs? Good.

pretty well sums up the mind of "progressives"

[algore]

No one in portland ever thied to distribute tin foil.

I have a roll, but it took me years to find a vintage one cause on one makes it any more.

Probably it worked too well in hats, so the deep state substituted aluminium and gaslighted everyone into thinking it was totally the same

Who was the last straight Democrat?
