There is nothing illegal about holding a baseball bat on a baseball field. If you watch the video he was actually walking with the bat in the outfield of the little league field at Montavilla park.
This video is OK. Dude talks about a lot of the shit on the killer's Facebook page and tries to understand his MO
I figured you would be good at making a stink! It actually might work Not many fools would poke or stick a stinking pile a shit.
It is very unfortunate that our social services are to the point that they are over-burdened, under-funded, and grossly understaffed. But even if we had an extra 100,000 social service/counseling personnel in the City Of Portland before this guy went crazy, it is unlikely that it would have mattered much. Unless he is a direct threat to himself or others, there's just not a lot legally that anyone can do (unfortunately, it takes more than a FB post to be considered a threat or danger). And those laws are there for good reason: the protect patient privacy and the public's privacy. However, it may be time to look into revamping the system. Although he we're going to do that without enormous tax payer dollars and tons of new laws is beyond me. That was the single most objective, rational piece of journalism I have seen in the past 2 years. I wish more "journalists" were like this.
Unfortunately no. Studying, busy at work, house projects for myself and frienda. Been replacing siding at a buddies house.
They followed him and made him give it to them didn't they? If it isn't illegal why did they get it from him?
Doesn't Trimet have some kind of emergency button you can push or a number to call to report stuff like this? I mean really, they should put signs up that if this sort of thing happens, to contact tri-met police so they can board the train and arrest or escort the person off.
This started at Lloyd and ended at Hollywood which is a three minute ride. The driver was telling the murder to get off the train when the knifing happened. Not enough time, unless cops were already on the platform when the train arrived. Can you imaging how bad some people would freak out if TriMet put cops on every platform?
The question I wanted you to answer was what was it that offended you about the mother's letter to Trump? barfo
It was more the article than the woman. And worst yet that Rasta felt the need to repeat the crap in this forum. It seems inappropriate to be asking Trump to speak out about violence when a whacko in Portland finally does kill people after shooting his mouth off about town threatening people for some time now. It seems like a repeat of the leap to conclude that Trump is responsible just like the media rushed to do when the story broke. It is similarly strange, the want to string adjectives together to express the anti Trump alt-left agenda at any opportunity. Here is the message the alt-left wants to see; White supremest, racist, alt-right, Trump supporter Kills Two in Trump's America! Did I miss any important adjectives? I find this current phenomenon of peculiar political hate the scariest thing of my lifetime. Your political hate is obscuring the problems you have in your city, as in many cities.
But if people knew the could contact tri-met police and have them there within say 10 minutes, they might do that rather than escalating the incident themselves.
