Regular kids can be idiots at times. In fact I think it's part of being a kid probably. My guess is there were non-gang banger kids there too but just a guess as I really don't know.

Truth you speak. Boy howdy, what an idiot I could be when I was a kid...

Me too, but none of my escapades ever involved spraying bullets everywhere.

I was referring to the kids attending the street race event who may have been just hanging out and got shot, not doing any shooting. But again just speculating.

But they went to a place/activity where that crap has happened before.

Obviously a lack of calming barrels was the cause in this shooting.

Wait until the warmer dry weather gets here.

We strive to break records. Portland is a city of winners.

That's the truth! In my youth we would head into "the city" on the weekends from the sticks. Not once did feel unsafe walking down West Burnside, eating on NW 23rd, listening to music at LaLuna or bowling at Grand Central. We knew to stay away from 82nd Ave and we didn't wear red and blue. Pretty basic stuff.

Last night I took my 15 year old daughter to a concert at the Moda Center. Parked a half mile away in a pay to park lot. Graffiti and the remnants of car windows were what we noticed first exited the car. Told my daughter to be very careful when she kicked a pile of leaves. I didn't want her to have a needle stick her through her Chuck Taylors. We Had to walk through a bum camp and step around the urine on the sidewalks to get to the show. Stressed to my daughter to keep her phone in her pocket and her head on a swivel. Gave her instructions to run to the nearest open business if something we to happen. She was confused so I cleared things up by saying that if we had any altercations, got robbed, someone tried to grab her I would handle it and she would need to make a fast exit. Explained to her that the man laying in the grass was probably just passed out. All that in just 15 minutes in foot taking her to first rock concert in the city

During the concert I was distracted by the thought of losing my catalytic converter, having the pistol locked and hidden in my trunk getting stolen or even the whole car.

On the way home heading down Weidler there were a case of road rage a few cars ahead of us with a distinct "pop pop" and the two cars went speeding off in different directions.

It was everything we have come to expect from Portland and then some. It is definitely not the same city it once was.

I wouldn't define a "regular kid" as one that shoots others with guns outside of self defense / war. Once someone uses a gun with intent to do harm outside of those situations the term "regular kid" no longer applies because the extreme vast majority of kids do not do that and therefore it is not "regular."

As stated above in post #8, I was not talking about kids doing the shooting, only kids attending an event.

I see, and agree.

Another reason to avoid ptown like the plague!

Who, besides the suspected shooter, was shot? The story said people were wounded and specifically said the 11yo may had shrapnel. Just trying to be clear that other victims were actually shot and not just implied they were shot.

People scrambling could be trampled, hit by cars or even shot. Vague writing leads to questions.

Video on the article page says 21, 18, 16 year olds had gunshot wounds, 11 yo had shrapnel wounds.

`shrapnel wounds`. lololololololol, was the douchebag in question throwing throwing frags????

I thoroughly enjoy the twisted statistics that come after these things hit the media.

How they refuse to admit crime is rising by posting statistics that show gun deaths are actually lower year after year. Lol!
