One of the reasons we never went to Oregon, which was at one time on top our our list. Just too many controlling leftists running the state.

You’re correct about California. Vietnam draft dodgers types started migrating in the late 1960’s.

Every progressive bum, that can’t cut it economically in the Bay Area & Seattle seems to end up in Portland.

The white urban liberal of both genders, is a very strange creature.

These unarmed patrols and social workers remind me of a scene in the original “War of the Worlds” movie. A priest decides that the Martians are children of God too, so he goes out to meet them. They immediately vaporize him, and that’s the end of that plot line.

They should hire bicycle cops to catch speeders on the highway.
What's wrong with that? It's just as crazy.

“One of the reasons we never went to Oregon, which was at one time on top our our list. Just too many controlling leftists running the state.”

You made the correct decision.

Oregon liberals aren’t only stupid, they’re also arrogant “know everything” assholes.

This is good. Let Portland test the no weapons model of law enforcement. It will be over quickly.

I like the idea of official walking around targets for criminals, because this will reduce the likelihood of innocents being targeted for also walking around.

Of course, I'd not be one to walk around without some sort of defense, like these paid people will do. That's completely stupid. Even neighborhood watch people are armed.

Even the English Bobbies finally learned that being armed is better.

The remaining unanswered question is: Are they children of God?

Good timing Portland, with a reduced police force, the Minneapolis verdict will be in soon.

I s’pose they’ll hire auntifazzes and members of BurnLootMurder, as well as regular felons.

I wonder what the Workmans Comp rates will be for these people. For spray pilots I think the rate is around 200%.

Do job benefits include a free funeral package?

Oregon and Washington compete to be the least churched state in the nation. Please send missionaries.

Well at least the PROG/LIBs on these patrols will make nice bullet sponges, hopefully it will keep some nice NORMAL person from getting shot.

The $1.4 million for “unarmed” patrol people will be used to pay for their funerals.
