    Portland 19 shootings in 54 hours

    Portland 19 shootings in 54 hours

    Police have blamed the rise of deadly crime on staff shortages and budget cuts.. Lol! what about blaming the people doing it!


    19 shootings in 54 hours. Stunning' Portland police chief slams city's spiraling violence - which has seen it break annual murder record - and blasts furious calls from woke critics to defund his department

    Portland saw 19 shootings over 54 hours between early last Friday morning and Sunday evening, which the city's police chief called 'stunning'

    The violence ended with a double homicide in the city's Old Town neighborhood


    Suspect Michael VanDomelen, 45, was arrested after allegedly shooting the victims, an unidentified man and woman, while he was high on meth

    Oregon became the first state in the USA to decriminalize the possession of small quantities of any illegal drugs, including crystal meth, in 2020

    The two deaths are registered as Portland's 71st and 72nd homicide this year, surpassing the city's previous annual record of 70 set in 1987

    Portland has had about 1,000 shootings with 314 people injured by bullets so far in 2021

    Homicides increased by nearly 30% across the country from 2019 to 2020, FBI data shows

    Police have blamed the rise of deadly crime on staff shortages and budget cuts

      The intercities are imploding and it will come to a town like yours very soon . Drugs are out of control and drives most of the crime sadly few ever break the addiction so it will only get worse .

        That doesn't seem to worry anyone, as the real danger now is at the school board meetings.

              Only on Facebook, where they're freaked out by things that aren't actually happening in their school district.

                Bad and getting worse you say....



                The key is getting working class people to actually own more of the economy, to have more than a low-paid wage earner's stake in the economy. Right now the bottom 50% owns 2% and the top 1% owns 33%. No wonder so many people wonder what is the point, that there's no "getting ahead" out there to get. They're absolutely right that there's not enough of it to go around. Democrat handouts aren't the answer, but neither is the Republican reaction to describe any attempt to address this recent structural problem as Socialism!!!

                It wasn't like this when Vernon or DT were young boys.

                    Read the paper before you put it in the cat box.



                    Garland?s school personnel threat memo

                    On Oct. 4, Garland sent a memo to the FBI, every U.S. attorney and the Justice Department?s Criminal Division.

                    ?In recent months, there has been a disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff who participate in the vital work of running our nation?s public schools,? Garland wrote Oct. 4. ?While spirited debate about policy matters is protected under our Constitution, that protection does not extend to threats of violence or efforts to intimidate individuals based on their views.?

                              A group of moms is really ticked off at the National School Boards Association over a letter it sent last month to President Biden comparing parental behavior at school board meetings to domestic terrorism. In Alexandria, Virginia Wednesday Moms For America protested the request by the NSBA to have the FBI investigate parents at some school districts in front of the NSBA headquarters. “What did the NSBA do? They called the parents domestic terrorists. Here is another parallel.

Scott Smith is seeking a written public apology and full retraction from the National School Boards Administration (NSBA) after they characterized him and other parents who voiced opposition at school board meetings as "domestic terrorists" in a Sept.
