Calling for a military presence in Portland is political theater and completely unnecessary. It inflates problems into existential crises when, in reality, the city operates with schools, businesses and daily life as normal. Overall violent crime is on the way down. I have a few friends living there and they love living the city and the wider…[Read more]

There was an evening market not far from where I live last night. They were not afraid of being assaulted.

Robert, I don’t know how to post a reply to an update, so I’ll have to post it here.
