A neighborhood in Portland has spiraled into chaos as the locals clash with those living in a homeless encampment.

Residents in the city's southeast say the area has become like a 'war zone' as tensions continue to rise between locals and the homeless who have lined the streets with tarps and tents.

Lacey, a woman living in the encampment, told KGW8 that someone hit her dog with a car, leaving him with a broken leg and an open gash.

And they keep voting the commies into power

More defunding of the police will help with this.

No mention of social workers in the story, that I could see

Oregon would be a safe red state...if not for Portland.

[ArcadeQuarters]

Vote better.

[Steely Tom]

Full Californication.

They’re just doing their part in keeping Portland weird.

Isn’t that what they want, after all? “Keep Portland weird?”

Leafy coasts are something new to me....

Same for Washington ... if not for Seattle/KingCounty

Same for CA ... if not for San Fran, LA, Sacramento.

Every election time the residents of Portland reaffirm their desire for what they have long said they wanted. And now they got it and they should be deliriously happy. They are now demonstrating to the world what their sanctimonious yards signs proclaim.

“In this house we believe...”

We are ripe for a communist takeover.

Maybe take a page out of Soylent Green

Portland is already communist

“More defunding of the police will help with this.”

The police are there to protect the criminals from lynching.

If they fully defund the police, then nobody will be there to arrest residents who decide to deal with the vagrants.

We are ripe for a communist takeover.

That ship sailed years ago. The communists have fully infiltrated all of our major institutions, including the fed gov and the military. We are at the final stages of the coup where the commies are simply trying to remove any lingering resistance.

If the federal government stopped all subsidies, including all grants to NGOs, then the underclass would have to leave.

Same for Minnesota - if not for Minneapolis and St. Paul.

Those with sense and means will flee blue cities like Portland.

My heart goes out to those who desire sanity to return to their city/state but lack the means or will to move.

Cops can’t do much if the city doesn’t prosecute. City can’t prosecute if the courts don’t convict. The media report that crime is down. It’s magic!

If you’re ever in Portland check out Voodoo Donuts. Otherwise stay out of Portland.
