They'll get there. They just have to govern harder. :rolleyes:

I've been looking around for a chart and finding one political rambling after another. These were the top ten for murders per 100,000 as of January:

  1. St. Louis, MO
  2. Baltimore, MD
  3. Detroit, MI
  4. Dayton, OH
  5. Baton Rouge, LA
  6. New Orleans, LA
  7. Kansas City, MO
  8. Memphis, TN
  9. Cleveland, OH
  10. Richmond, VA

More shootings vs fewer murders/deaths compared to Detroit. I suspect the Portland firearm of choice to be a MAC 10 likely 9mm... maybe the gangs in Detroit just have better shooters?
 
I am sad that Portland has become what it is. Its a shame. I grew up in north Portland born and raised. It was rough as a kid. But i grew up got married had kids and bought a house in st johns. We sold in March and escaped the devastation. I feel very lucky and blessed to not live in Portland anymore. Its so sad that such a beautiful city can fall so far.

All of them are blue cities with really large inner city areas. Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmm.
 
It's actually not a decision in most cases. There are no good poeple running for offices. For example for mayor the choice was (1) weakling-let's-just-talk-about-everything-pander-to-Hardesty-but-do-nothing wheeler, or (2) self proclaimed antifa member and borderline psychotic ultra socialist lady (can't remember her name, inona or something like that). It is not a matter of voting decisions, as if there was a decent choice available.

In addition we have a screwball commission government (I think it's the only big city in US that still has it). What we have right now is wheeler, the DA Schmidt who won't prosecute anyone for most offenses unless they are perceived as right wing, and Hardesty. That unholy trinity is simply a recipe for disaster by themselves not even taking into account any of the other commissioners.
Iannarone, Sarah. People need to read this ^^ so's they remember how it goes down in potland when they're talking about the voters getting what they deserve.

Because they will not wast time and money. The state said they liked Kate. When voters act like that why would someone "good" bother to try? The people who think Kate is great are not going to vote for someone better especially in Potland. If the voters ever start to show they really have had enough? Then you will see better choices step up to take a swing at it.
Don't forget to mention that kate brown won that election with 50.1% of the vote That's 50.1%!!!!


I don't know WHO the dumb basses were that comprised that other 6.3%, but I bet they weren't democrats?
So a person can't fully blame dems for kate brown. I wish those 6.3%, if any are here, go look in the mirror when ever you feel the urge to post a bithch about those that elected brown stain. The real disgusting part is that democrats don't even respond to the FACT that only half the voters put her in office! And she, and other dems, like sleepy joe, pay no attention what so ever to the needs and desires of half the population!
Hows that " defund the police ,dont enforce laws or folks will get their feelings hurt " liberal social experiment working for ya Portland?
We're good now. Joanne Hardesty has installed/is installing orange traffic barrels to curb those high speed shootings.

I chose this link because of the graphics (for your viewing pleasure). All others link confirm the same.
 
You are exactly right. I just hope some of the idiots that voted the way they did and ruined the area realize elections have consequences. Their stupidity caused this.

They won't, they're too tribal, arrogant, think they're the smartest and most virtuous ones in the room.

They'll double down, and you know what they call doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results….. insanity.

It's telling that "progressives" like to "order" people and "Bureaus" around…..


LET'S GO BRANDON!
 
And just 2 days ago another shooting at the EXACT location where they put those barrels. Just completely idiotic!

It's a 2-3 block area which is the boundary of two rival gangs. There are roughly 3 shootings in those same 2 blocks every week. It can't be that hard to stop it. If there were police, they could have an actual policeman there. Note that this the same spot where a park ranger pickup was riddled with bullet holes as two unarmed park rangers sat inside.

Here is the gang map with constant shooting location circled:

Gang map found here. It's from 2015ish before Hardesty banned the gang violence task force and systematically removed any mention of gangs or tracking of gangs.

$1.4 million was diverted from police to hire more unarmed park rangers to curb gun violence:

I haven't seen that map. I wonder what it looked like back in '83 when I moved to near inner NE potland. 27th and Killingsworth? I know there was a lot of dope flowing and burglaries. You can sure see where the "Cream" of potland lives on those maps though! Doesn't seem to have any gang activity.
