Lloyd Center Shootings

[Nate Dogg]

Wow, this is getting worse. New ideas for T-shirts?
"Gang Packing Center", NE Portland, Oregon
"Lloyd Center to Avoid?"

Why can't they just stay on Killingsworth?

[Mediocre Man]

Wow, this is really shocking. It's not like young black kids to be involved in something like this. I think this was more of an isolated incident than anything else.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

what's new. Lloyd Center has always been the hood mall since the 80s.

what's new. Lloyd Center has always been the hood maul since the 80s.

Fixed!

This is why I stay on the west side of the water. Things like this do not happen in Beaverton. And there is a VERY GOOD reason why!

You can keep believing that if you want, but the gang activity in the Hillsburrito/Beaverton border is pretty bad.

Because it's all hispanic gangs instead of black ones?

You are correct. Very few black gangs in your hood.

Beaverton, Tigard, Hillsboro area gangs include the notorious 13th Street Gang, and are almost exclusively illegal Mexican immigrants, although they commit about the same amount of crimes if not more.

Racist.

and what is that reason?

 

[Rodolfo]

Racist.

+1

keep that shit out of here.

Here's why Portland isn't safe from gangs:

"We've had, unfortunately, shots fired all over the city, from sidewalks to church vestibules," said Lt. Kevin Modica, who heads the Police Bureau's gang enforcement unit. "It's unfortunate wherever it occurs."

Modica listed four recent gang-related shootings, two of which led to non-life threatening injuries: March 17 at Northeast Prescott Street and 16th Avenue; March 19 in the 8400 block of Southeast Brooklyn Street; March 20 at West Burnside Street and Northwest Fourth Avenue; and Wednesday inside the mall.

"The parent in me is upset about that one (at the mall), because it worries me about the training and guidance these kids are getting at home," said Rob Ingram, director of the city's Office of Youth Violence Prevention, which provides alternative activities and outlets for youth who might get ensnared by gang violence.

Years too late to worry about failed parenting. These punks need to be killed or imprisoned, end of story.

Some embarrassing posts in this thread. Wish I could say I was surprised.

Yes. And please STAY the fuck over there. In fact the farther west you stay the better.

Actually more south is more like it.

Yep, really sad how these racists are. I long for the day when racists keep to themselves and we can all just wander out into the world and get shot at by gang members



.............................without fear of hearing law abiding citizens stereotype gang bangers.

Because THAT is just wrong.

Yea, because you know, there aren't any white gang members...

Good point.

HHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWW

Never said there weren't. Never said most molesters aren't white men or priests.

My point is that people get so offended by stupid shit like the sometimes funny things that people like Ann Coulter say that nobody cares about what matters.

The larger point is that saying something you find offensive doesn't kill someone. Gangs do. Why don't we prioritize the things we want to bitch about?



I just watched Dirty Harry for the first time since I was a kid and I bet that there are people on this forum who actually believe that Clint shouldn't have tortured the bad guy to try and find a missing teenage girl.

If there is a missing child and some wacko says he did it but won't tell......nothing should be off limits. I know the constitution is there to prevent that but our government ignores that document ALL THE TIME. Why not make one more exception huh?

Um, what?

Edit: Never mind I read it 5 timers and finally got it.


Anyway, these kids shot people because they are gang members. Not because they are black.

....awful lot of honkeys here.....

That was a good ass show, my gramps used to watch it all the time. Speaking of Lloyd Center, I remember at the age of 4 or 5 I saw my first black person there. My grandmother slapped the shit out of my grandpa when we got home. Why?

Because my 4 year old self saw a black guy and pointed and said the N word. My mom grabbed me and ran.

I had two black kids in my high school, both were adopted by a white couple. If memory serves they were cousins of Damon Stoudamire.

I am sorry that people don't accept that black kids should be expected to overcome their upbringing. I have been expected to my whole life.

My uncle taught me that homosexuals are inferior to "normal" people. My sister is a lesbian and I have had to adjust my views. I can't help it that I get a little creeped out when I see two lesbians holding hands in the mall. I know it is WRONG to feel that way but my brain does what it does.

My grandfather was a WW2 veteran, an avid outdoorsman. He killed rattlesnakes with a shovel when he went hunting in the eastern part of the Pacific NW. His hands were like leather, he wasn't anything like a man you will find today wearing makeup. I am pretty sure he wasn't born a racist, but he sure as hell was one. He actually looked a LOT like Archie Bunker and you could truly say he was a NW version of Archie.

I wish he would have told me what he did in WW2, my grandmother says it took a long time for him to seem even close to normal after he came back. No counseling, just deal with it yourself.

I think I am sorta stuck in a time when our culture is changing so fast that I can't keep up. I try to think about an issue outside of what I was taught growing up, I just often have to reconcile my "feelings" with what is right. Those two are often mutually exclusive.

Ya just homeless fuckers begging for change.

 

[TradeNurkicNow]

It's crazy how young these kids get into gangs.

They are hopeful that gang-related violence will simmer down once spring break is over.

"A couple of things help. One is school, and the other is rain," Ingram said.

this made me laugh

 

[bodyman5001]

Yeah, it was a bad sentence.

Never said they shot anyone because they were black. Plenty of white psychos.
