All-out gang war in North Portland
They're shooting it up left and right. Hey, Reese and Adams! Are you doing anything about this other than bleating some nonsense about gun control? If not, why don't you step aside and turn things over to somebody who knows what he or she is doing?

How racist is this...S H I ??? Need a map? NONE of this nonsense would be tolerated at all if this were all or mostly, white kids. Oh forget INCOME BRACKET, right?

I agree that Mayor Sam is so far in over his head on crime containment. Appeasement is more his style. And Tweeting. And all things Progressive, Green, Liberal, Sustainable and Democrat.
But meat and potatos crime fighting and potholes? Not so much. I may have mentioned it once or twice.... Portland is enjoying exactly what they asked for and got.
Keeping it, Portland! Keep on keeping it!

What about the 17 year old shot earlier this week at SE 52nd and Flavel?
Or the 16 year old kid stabbed by another 16 year old kid near SE 72nd and Flavel?
Gangs ain't just in NoPo folks and it's only going to get worse as the jobs dry up and the schools get worse and worse.

More reason to have a bike rental program!
Was there transit in walking distance? Did they have (subsidized) affordable housing? Did the bioswale trap the shell casings?This could have been prevented!

Sam, and the others that are concerned in correcting this problem have it under control. Once the Trolley to L.O., the Choo Choo to Milwaukee are built and they can find funding to operate them the Gangsters will move out of Piddle-Town

Don't worry. The City Flag will be flown at half-staff next week. That'll solve EVERYTHING.
Trust me.
