RE: Russian Crime in Oregon.
I know a policeman who worked in Estacada, a mountain community about 1 hour from Portland in the Cascades, near Mt. Hood. He loved his job for years, but eventually quit as he said it was too dangerous investigating out in the boonies, parks and campgrounds. There is apparently a lot of illegal dope growing and meth manufacture and he said if he came upon Russians they would simply kill and bury him out there.
He transferred back into the city for safety. Weird, eh?
I can believe it. Russians are actually a big problem in cities, too, such as New York, where there is a huge criminal class of Russians. They generally don’t dare attack the police directly, though.
Many of them are illegals, but some of them have been here for some time and were brought here as “refugees” by well-meaning groups that even supported them financially. Some thanks!
