I will buy (legally) the meth this time but you have to buy the acid next time.
Deal??!
At this point, Trump should not allow the National Guard or any Federal law enforcement to go to Portland or the state of Oregon for that matter. Let it all burn down. Their citizens voted for this, -they should have to live with it.Jack Bauer said:

Agreed
Locals have repeatedly voted for this reality .
Because of course she did...
Portland city commissioner who supports defunding the police called 911 on her Lyft driver
Portland city commissioner who supports defunding the police called 911 on her Lyft driver
Quote:
The November 1 ride began when Lyft driver Richmond Frost picked up a passenger named "Jo Ann" at the casino. Frost kept the windows cracked COVID protocols put in place by the ride share company and Hardesty complained.
The ride went downhill from there and Frost decided to cancel the ride. He pulled off into a Chevron station at an I-5 exit ramp in Ridgefield. But Hardesty refused to get out of the car and called 911 at 9:48 p.m.
Hardesty told the 911 dispatcher he dropped her off "in the dark at a filling station. And I'm not getting out. Not happening. All because I asked him to put the window up."
The dispatcher told her "technically it's his property and there's no crimes involved." Hardesty said Frost canceled her ride "and I'm just going to sit here until he gets me another ride."

Oh good,
Mr. Bearitto was banned by the cowardly site owners because he stated that U.S. battleships should not be named after weak victims like Emmett Till, like Robby suggested. Apparently the site owners want a ship named in their honor some day. ;)

Mayor Ted: "ok, Antifa, it's been - checks notes- eight months. No more Mr. Beta Guy. "
Please ask George Truitt why this is happening when "Trump troops" have been gone for 6 months.
To the top. Apparently our resident Socialists have forgotten what violent protests look like. This thread offers many examples.

I thought those guys were a myth. (Sarcasm)

A better question would be, why is he still mayor after 6 months of rioting in his city? (he was re-elected)
Probably largely because he could (plausibly) pass the blame Trump for instigating/inflaming/failing to quell them to avoid any accountability himself.
Let his political fortunes live or die on the basis of his own ability or inability to handle the issues of his city.
It's ok to say let's just let democracy work. It takes patience and a willingness to accept that not everything will be perfect right away. But issues like these will resolve themselves at a much smaller cost and you don't risk making things much, much worse.
Also, just Portland burning is vastly preferable than having 20 or so major cities burning at the same time, so it's hard to say there hasn't been a significant improvement. Let's give some credit and be thankful for that progress at least.
Bunch of nut jobs. I have friends in Portland and I'm worried for them.
He's still mayor because the person who opposed him is even further left than he is and not by a little.
Nothing shocking about that. They are really anarchists by another name.
On August 8, 2020 - WaPo published this glowing praise of Portland protestors along with a Antifa fashion spread.
Trump sent agents to quell unrest. But protest is what Portland does best.
