I hope the insurance costs in Portland go through the roof to cover the damages (current and future). What I don’t want to see is MY (non-Portland) premiums to go up to cover the results of Portland’s imbecility.
Portland Police Lt. Jake Jensen replied saying people can still face consequences later.
As in, people who dare interfere with rioters WILL face consequences!
What? IF it constitutes a riot?
Isn’t that what a mob of hundreds vandalizing things is?
We are living in Absurdistan.
Well, yes, Linda, it does. Did you vote for the people doing it?
Jensen replied saying people can still face consequences later.
But they don't, do they? Which is really what Linda was asking, and the answer is yes, Portland is a lawless city. Next question.
(“Does that mean we are now like a lawless city?”)
All signs point to “Yes”
I once considered moving to Oregon. Thank God I did not. What a trach place now that it is run by democrats.
Oregon Lawmakers = Cheap Easy & Stupid
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving place.
Great example of people getting the government (and consequences) they deserve.
A handful of people on rooftops with suppressed Ruger 10/22s would discourage that shit. Knees and elbows.
Portland needs to hire Capitol Police officer Lt. Michael Byrd...he shot Ashli Babbitt just for climbing through a window frame...
Give him a machine gun and he’ll take care of all these hoodlums smashing storefront windows, lighting dumpsters on fire and causing at least $500,000 in damage...
Oh, wait.......
“people can still face consequences later.”
Hear that everyone? If the “legal system” doesn’t inflict consequences then it’s up to honest folks to do it.

“Does that mean we are now like a lawless city?” Linda Witt asked“
Well, Linda, try firing a gun into that violent raging destructive lawless mob and see how lawless your city is…
The town mothers and fathers did not stop the riots/looting/burning/assaults/killing last year. They helped plan it and gave them a free pass to go ahead. No one was prosecuted afterwards.
So don’t be surprised if something similar happens this year.
I can see all future westerns and kung-fu movie heroes borrowing that line. Just Gary Cooper in High Noon.
Even though I live in WA State, there is a reason that I have an Oregon Concealed Pistol License.
If I am to go into a lawless city or a lawless state and can’t count on the police to protect me or my family, I want to have options.
A long time ago, I lived in a County where the County Prosecutor said he needed substantial more budget. The County Council publicly said no. The Prosecutor said that they would not prosecute any property damage crimes. The Sheriff said that if the Prosecutor would not refer any property damage crimes to trial, he would not send any officers to calls for property damage, like burglary, breaking and entering, car theft, etc.
There was a huge public outcry, until a very well off area of the country started to run adds in the local paper asking residents to attend vigilance committee organizational meetings.
The Prosecutor and the County Council worked with the Sheriff and figured a compromise that allowed law enforcement and justice to continue. There is absolutely nothing that scares elected officials like armed citizens willing to use their firearms in the defense of themselves. They will it as a thin line between armed violence against criminal and against elected officials.
Just saying.
Welcome to Dodge, Miss Linda.
