Rumor What's going on in Portland?

True. And when somebody starts a fire in the middle of their living room with gasoline that is very obviously arson.

But the homeless start fires with gasoline all the time. It would take some trying to make this look like anything other than a fire caused by homeless. Why would anybody make those kinds of efforts? Just go start a campfire near flammable stuff.

Virtually any fire at that location could easily be blamed on the homeless.

 

Okay but if by accident or intentional, if started by a homeless individual, it was started by a homeless individual, right?
And if the fire they start is illegal to begin with regardless of whether they were trying to burn the building down or just stay warm, its still an illegal fire started by the homeless, is it not?

or what if it was a methhead starting an illegal fire to support their addiction to an illegal substance. Yes an accident that the fire got out of control, but still illegal activites from a homeless person or persons, is it not?

 

Score for the corporate overlords!

 

Scenes From a City That Only Hands Out Tickets for Using Fentanyl

Copy and pasted because it was behind NYT's paywall. Should really be in the "What's Going on in Oregon" thread, but that doesn't exist.

 

Wait a minute... If Oregon's measure 110 is the problem and all of the druggies are coming to Portland how is it possible that there are

How could that be possible?

 

Whether 110 is working effectively or not is certainly debatable, imo. That's why I mentioned Oregon as a whole

 

I think the problem is that we have had ineffective social policy in this country for at least 4 decades and we're falling further and further behind advancements in technology and chemical and material science.

We have no hope to address these issues without drastic social reform either toward empowering our population or basically removing all of our freedoms.

 

Just wanted to share….. my daughter’s best friend is now playing soccer up in Spokane for Gonzaga. Arrived on campus July 6th….her and the players haven’t left campus ONCE because of the homeless problem there. Can’t even leave the front gates of the school. Shit seems getting worse everywhere.

 

Seems like the school should be providing security.

 

Or use them as practice dummies?

 

Right outside campus unfortunately, not on school grounds.

 

I remember going to basketball camp/tourneys up there in high school and it being pretty wild and rough even back then. Just on the other side of a prison like fence. Maybe I'm exaggerating because I was just a kid but it did seem weird to me at the time.

 

I see where a lady doctor got knocked out and seriously fucked her face up in sw downtown portland, by a homeless thug. They have him on camera so ai hope they throw the hook at him.
She waited 2o mins for police to show up.

 

She left before the police even showed up after waiting around for 20 minutes.

Police weren't even dispatched until 20 minutes after she called...

 

Ridiculous....I guess they had approx 50 call before her?

 

I mean this was in downtown Portland, right? So the police would have had to travel at least several blocks to get there... it's a good thing they track all of our cell locations and got that info when she called in...

Just call the police kids. When you need them immediately they're only 20-ish minutes away... from dispatching the next available officer.
