So, Portland police's entire riot team resigned today.

[Mikej]

The clueless running Portland are looking to the State Police, the Feds and perhaps the National Guard to replace the volunteers

Ooooo, bring in The National Guard? Oh, wait! It's okay now, Donald Trump isn't president anymore. Yay!

 

[SUPER X]

They Had help about a year Ago , If they would have followed the lead things might be much safer now

And the rioters thought the PPB RRT were physical…

I'm being silly now but what if they are finally feeling the heat from the Far Left handlers to put this bubblegum to bed! being cowards and flunkies they can't actually do what needs doing...so you hire muscle?

 

[FLYINGPICKLE]

I could be wrong but the problem in Portland doesn't seem to be with police tactics. It seems to be with prosecutors and judges who refuse to hold accountable the vast majority of people arrested after engaging in criminal conduct. That's definitely the case in Seattle.

hmmmm

An argument I made with the city attorney. 'Keep this up, and people like me will move away. That means less property taxes, less people that mow their lawns. It's called urban flight.'

Curious what will happen in Sept when people can be evicted again.

The city could care less who moves out and really they want some folks to move because of their views. Fact is even if folks move out the land is still there to be taxed. Folks move out then the city has less services to provide too.

Urban flight is something they want, they have more control and can always get federal money if they spend too much.

Its the system.

Do you really think the left will allow the eviction of people that haven't been paying rent? I guess seeing as they appear to be passing a law that will do away with the illegality of camping on" Public Property". There's plenty of THAT for the evicted to be living on. The guv will probably buy them tents and grocery delivery/UBER Eats.

Look no further than Baltimore where Hardesty on the city council is from!

Creation, care and feeding of another Urban Plantation.

It's authority funded by an unending inflation adjusted flow of federal/state welfare dollars.

It's edicts enforced with the Brown/Black shirt mob and state/federal troops.

You think that's overstating the possibilities?

Imagine Washington DC, capital of the free world, dressed in chain link and barbed wire fencing, federal troops with live weapons pointed outward at US citizens and armed check points criss-crossing the city.

Never happen right?

Oh wait....never mind...nothing to see here....move along.

Maybe Portland can start a petition, change the name to New Baltimore!

Nope, you have to offer others the chance to name it.

Worth reading:

RRT Resignation

It makes too much sense, so will 1) be ignored by the ptb and 2) not get a whole lot of air time in the media.

Nothing in there about skin tone or how a Trump is evil, it won't get a minute of air time.

One thing that was concerning was the peoples homes and families were being threatened by rioters... I view a threat on family as grounds for elimination.

In all fairness LWH they can ride the damn light rail to my little country town!!! and there's the Hail Mary you Albany folks get pulled into Jefferson Or Idaho

Oh i was just thinking on the humorous side what to rename Portland and give it a slogan.

Westhell was my first thought with a slogan "no cops so come rob, loot and burn with your buddies".

Wasn't funny but it fits when the cops quit.

Home prices will tank. Last I looked, something like 6 million were currently foreclosable, and (?) about 4 million were on the brink. That's not counting the rentals that won't have renters, it's just mortgages.

I don't think they'll tank. It's not 2006; loan underwriting has been more strict in the past decade, people have lots of equity compared with then. Even if prices drop substantially comparatively few people will be underwater. As well, a main driver of the crash was the bad paper written. There's lots of f'ed up derivatives out there now lol but I don't think they center on real estate like they did.

The combo of high % of people w/ positive equity and low interest rates mean that refinancing will be available to lots of folks. Even if forced to pay 100% of the forebarence all at one the banksters will be happy to loan you the money to do it. And it will hardly increase your monthly payment lol!

So I don't see a national thing like 2008. DOn't get me wrong, I'm pessimistic about the economy w/ the current crops of idiots at the helm of national (and some local) gov. And there are always regional crashes/booms, prices may drop - it's pretty much madness now. But again, don't see them absolutely tanking.

Then again I've been calling for high inflation since 2010 or so... what the hell do I know?

 

[Dinglenutz]

But again, don't see them absolutely tanking.

I guess tanking is an imprecise term but I'd bet on them dropping in value for a bit as more supply comes on the market.

Me too. The madness must stop lol.

Now that Portland police have given up it looks like Antifa has branched out some.

Mayhem ensues as Antifa converges on Western Conservative Summit in Denver

Antifa activists brought chaos as they descended Friday on the annual Western Conservative Summit in Denver, drawn by favorite targets such as Oregon journalist Andy Ngo and Rep. Lauren Boebert, Colorado Republican.
