If you BUILD IT, THEY will come! It has NOTHING to do with "economic downturn!" WHAT "economic downturn?" Liberal Meccas are always well funded by the taxpayers and the streets flow with milk and honey!

More Socialist, clueless morons. They INVITE criminals into our cities, and then when they arrive and start robbing, raping and battering us, they don't want them! Go figure!

Maybe they could outlaw guns downtown! I’m sure that’ll help.

If they tried this in Portland it would clear about half the adults out of downtown.

And how do these powder puffs plan to enforce this laughable ordinance.

Here’s a clue.

It will work every bit as well as their “gun control” ordinances.

What a collection of losers.

I have an idea. I really have. The perfect solution to all their problems.

They should outlaw criminals! No crimes allowed in the Great State of Oregon!

I suspect that this will work as well as when Los Angeles banned murders for 48 hours earlier this year.

If they are serious about keeping would be criminals out of down-town, and if they have their Courthouse down-town with its’ lawyers and judges, then I submit they have a serious, serious problem.

You forgot "paved with gold." Taxpayers' gold.

This is one of the stupidest, most ill-conceived city ordinances I’ve ever heard of.

1. How are they going to enforce it? Are there going to be checkpoints at every entry to downtown, each manned by a cop with a computer connected to the state criminal records database.?

2. Why do the Einsteins on the City Council think that a person who has broken the law against robbery, assault, etc. is going to be deterred by some ordinance telling them to stay away from downtown?

Does anyone have a graphic of the little smiley face beating its head against the wall?

I thought that the entire earth was off limits to criminals. Apparently not …

You beat me to it.

Totally stupid because you can’t deny a person access to his attorney.

Or his doctor.

Or a trip to the courthouse because he is accused of not paying child support, or whatever.

Banned from the hospital emergency room?

Can’t do it.
