Shooting This Afternoon Near Powells

[CountryGent]

Wife saw this as she wandered through home office. There was a time some decades back, during courtship, we went to Powell's and made a day of it. We're both avid readers and it was a nice trip to go there, talk along the way, and enjoy a nice dinner, et al. (And there are other memories of the fair city, good and bad, from times past.)

Now? You, literally, couldn't pay me to take my family to PDX. The last two times I was there was due to a funeral and before that a connecting flight, because neither could be avoided. Such a pity what has become of the Rose City.

Looks like police seized a Ruger 57. Interesting choice by the shooter, must be a handgun cognoscente!

Clearly the Portland Police haven't been defunded enough to stop crime and violence,

Shouldn't there be at least 2 dead bodies for every round that was discharged then??

I was to understand that the 5.7 is an unstoppable death ray made manifest.

Well, you get 20+1 rounds with that 57.
Lots of spray and pray potential there

Antifa Shoots Samoan Protest Leader at “End the Mandate” Rally in Olympia, Washington

freerepublic.com

I'ma gonna get out in front of this and say that the next time PB meets Pantifa, there will be a Pantifa corpse on a slab at the City Morgue by day's end.
Pantifa drew first blood on PB today, on their leader no less, so there must be at least one PB in their crowd that is gonna settle a score next time out.
You watch...

That's not good.

I hope that crap doesn't start up again tomorrow in Oly.

I sincerely can't stand that town, but this Sharks and Jets nonsense is getting worse.

 

[Flymph]

I'm more surprised people actually live down there...

 

[JohnnyMac]

If they'd have only given these guys their $300 "Don't Shoot Someone" stipend on the first of the month.....

Everybody eats lead!

No... Just Des(s)erts

P.S. The main reason I visit this forum to see what @Certaindeaf is posting.

House call by a veterinarian to administer a shot subcutaneously. Pesky aim.

 

[Certaindeaf]

There are shootings everywhere. Probably always were, just had less "smart" devices and girly men to catalogue it

I was taking my dog for a walk on one of our regular routes and saw the area around 10th and Davis cordoned off. Spoke to one of the officers and around 1pm three shooters came into the Everybody Eats restaurant and killed shot* three diners. I was left by the officers parting remarks when he said "this is what it is now, another shooting". Think the first arrest here should be the Mayor.

*Update: Shooting victims were injured and transported in private vehicles

Covidiot 19.V7.321.a has slowed down the production of certified social justice workers capable of thwarting what ails society….we just need to be patient.

 

[Stomper]

Lol, "anti vax Nazis" that's a new one on me...

Get used to it, it's the latest-greatest "slur/slogan" leftist thugs are using to bully people into falling in line.

A maybe not so well known thing about the pearl is how bad it was for a long time. Another not so well known item is that the folks who developed the pearl in the early 00s made a deal with the city to also build a certain amount of LIHTC units (low income high tax credit) housing per certain amount of luxury housing units.
Seems like that bit them in the bubblegum and the pearl is becoming The Villa 2.0.

Jo Ann Hardesty will fix it.

If you can get her out of the casinos...

Fact Check True

I worked in those condos during construction and was shocked to find out upscale tenants were paying $150.00-$200.00/ft2 while the tenant on the floor below was Section-8

I also worked the new office space for that developer and thought it hilarious he had pics of his Ducati and Porsche…but drove a freaking Prius into town so as to not upset the sheep he and his partners were fleecing.

I think I probably knew about the certain % of "affordable" housing in these Developments. I'm gonna say they did the same with all the apartments that went up on the West waterfront between the Marquam and Hawthorn bridges. Don't recall the prices for the "Affordable" places but at the time it was like $50,000.00 a year or something. I think it's mighty nice for those wealthy condo liver's to allow those poor, poor people to live in the same building with them. (sarc)
