You guys are never going to believe this, but...

Portland’s plan to use traffic barrels to curb gun violence isn’t working, data suggests

To evaluate the pilot program, KGW requested a breakdown of calls to 911 dispatchers for shootings and reckless-driving related incidents in the area.

I'm shocked! Shocked I say!

Maybe they need more and/or bigger barrels
I'm sure that will solve the problem

Orange is an alarming color. They should paint them pink. I'm sure that'll do it.

How about... If you use a gun to commit a crime... You have your trigger finger publicly amputated. Televise it. Make it massively shameful and embarrassing. Zero tolerance.

It's brutal but so is having guys running around robbing people or shooting innocent people...

Thoughts?

It's potland. What you mean we wont believe it? From the article it looks like those barrels must have the same sign on them that our orange barrel up here in the NE have. The signs say "No through traffic" They put these on "Through" streets. When I'm driving and need to get somewhere I take through streets. It would be real silly to take streets that don't go through when you need to get somewhere, wouldn't it!

It was tongue in cheek. I'm totally with you on this.

1) "Hard to believe how asinine the Portland City Council is…"
No, it's not.

2) WA bans guns that can fire 5 rds in 1 second as machine guns.
So does that make a S&W revolver a machine gun in WA State?

3) "Did whatzername ever stop to think that if you slow the cars down, the shooting will be more accurate?"
So less errant rounds strike the uninvolved - not a bad thing.

4) I came to WA to escape the DPRK. I sure as hell don't support californicating WA.

Too late, Bro! They've got a head start on ya!
Started in Oregone back in the '60's and snowballed. The spillover had to go somewhere.

It's a record year

The killing is one of three homicides in the city since Saturday, pushing Portland’s homicide count this year to a record 85.

Older thread but wanted to let everybody know that--
actually THE TRAFFIC BARRELS DO WORK!.

‘Promising results’: Violence down from traffic barrels

Three months after a pilot project designed to cut down violence and speeding in one area of Portland, city commissioners Jo Ann Hardesty and Carmen Rubio will hold a press conference to talk about…

Well if you can't watch it, I'll sum up:

The traffic barrels .... (AND she noted better lighting and increased patrols by police and park rangers) ..... have reduced problems in the test area.

Funny how the barrels get all the credit.
That's the oldest disctraction technique there is folks.

Complete and total BS. I have been watching the next door reports and shootings in that area are as high as they were.

If you can blame an inanimate object like a gun for human violence then you can credit another inanimate object for a positive change (assuming there is one).

Remember, people are never responsible for their actions, only inanimate objects and only government officials have "the answer", so shut your pie holes and pay your taxes, peasant.

I might believe it if Jen Psaki came out and said it.
