    WTH are you talking about! The guys throwing that garbage can are white as though that matters. What kind of ignorant racism is that. Folks from LA PLEASE don't take this guy to be representative of P-town. My god!

    While insensitive, and boardering on racist, he's probably not far off.

    Portland is an extremely white city, and it has no real college to speak of to bring "outsiders" to the city.

    I read a while back, and I mean like 5 years ago, that most people arrested for their participation in sports riots were either black or hispanic. In fact it was an outside the lines. That's where I saw this. They even mentioned that in places like Portland, Utah and Seattle the riots wouldn't be near what they are in other cities because of the demagraphics.

    I will also say that while Portland woul dmore than likely have some sort of trouble following a title, it wouldn't be on that scale because of the people themselves. I'm not sure if anyone has had the "pleasure" of living in both Portland and somewhere else, but the difference in all races is amazing.

    Sorry, I shouldn't have commented because I don't wan't the thread hijacked.

    How is that uninformed? It does not take rocket science to know that there are indeed more blacks and mexicans per capita in LA then there are in Portland. I don't even have to look that up to know.

    I agree white people don't riot after basketball games. they just steal money from tax payers and murder thousands of civilians in wars usually after creating some sort of genocide...

    WHITE PEOPLE RULE!!!!!!

    The uninformed comment is to say that there would be less riots here because of that.

    Um, that guy on the left, his leg is as brown as shit. He is a mexican. And the other guy, I cannot tell and nor can you. So you cannot assume he is white.

    I understand your comment, but that can open up a whole new can of worms on police targeting other people etc.. which I dont feel that way either.

    So tell me this. In the last 20 years. How many riots have there been in Portland over anything, sport related or not. And how many in LA?

    And you still have not answered me on what you see in those pics. You are avoiding the question because you know I am right.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    You're conflating two different issues and using them to create a racist proposition. There probably would be less/no riots in Portland, but that's because LA is a much larger urban area. Such areas tend to engender more violence due to greater disparities in income level and more densely packed populations.

    Larger urban areas also tend to be more racially mixed.

    Just because larger urban areas tend to have two characteristics (greater violence, greater ethnic diversity) doesn't mean that one characteristic causes the other.

    That's equivalent to saying that basketball players are tall and basketball players are also rich, therefore greater wealth leads to being taller.

    you're a coward. You don't stand by what you said earlier.

    What a joke you are.

    Either you are with us or against us and you melted under the pressure.

    You and I both LOVE white people very much. Either shit or get off the pot.

    Stop avoiding my questions. I said including non sports related riots.

    You are avoiding my questions because you know I am right.
