    I'd call it a fool's errand.

    I walked around and saw for myself. It’s a shit hole. Maybe you can walk around the Pearl or nice parts and think it’s fine. Go down by 3rd and Couch. Enjoy the tents and urine.

    Welcome to our new dystopia. There are also tents in Hillsboro, Houston and everywhere in between. Portland is not unsafe because of it and that's not really the point of this thread anyway.

    “I was born and raised here, and I’m a graduate of the local public school system. I chose to make my livelihood here, I chose to raise my daughter here,” said Mayor Ted Wheeler, who has faced criticism from all sides. “And in all the years that I have lived here, I have never seen the community more divided. Nor have I seen it look worse.”

    Yes, there were about 20k in attendance. This, in a 14ok capacity venue. You do the math.

    Here's your clue: They were socially distanced.

    It's they stop the late evening drama downtown and clean things up. I'm all for peaceful protest but Im against those that want to destroy public property and have a negative effect on local business.
    Enough is enough...

    Kind of a common theme in democratic-led metros.

    That's an amazing degree of unawareness of what's happening outside your mother's basement.

    Here in Beautiful Central Oregon not only has nobody destroyed any irreplaceable and historic artworks of elk, a herd of 40 or so elk ran across the Cascade Lakes Hwy in front of us this morning as we returned home from 3 days of camping and kayaking at Little Cultus Lake. #demcitiessuck

    Your flaw is that you think because I'm not a Republican I support our Mayor. See, people that lean left tend to think for themselves and don't subscribe to everything our party sells us. We infight, challenge each other, and support various people/candidates within and out of our party. You guys strap yourselves to whoever is the flavor of the month. You can't think for yourself. Herd mentality is what brought you Trump and it will end your party as you know it. Nice work. Be proud.

    I totally agree, but gestapo tactics fly in the face of everything we stand for as a country. At least that's what the don't tread on me folks tell me.

    Malcolm X HATED what he ignorantly referred to as "blue eyed devil's" He wanted to kill them because of their skin tone.
