    When I lived there from 1977 to 1994, violence was not unknown. We had an Asian gang shoot out in the local upscale mall. Racist threats and violence were not unknown as sadly I know from personal experience. The neighbors got into and launched some 45 ACP through their house and into the neighborhood. Avoided a mini neighborhood, everybody from the bar spills out into the street to slug it out by making an illegal U turn and fleeing.

    While that is most def one of the better headlines I’ve seen, this story linked to the one above is possibly more emblematic of the current urban blue zeitgeist:

    Not one officer from PPB that I attended the Police Academy still works for PPB. One got shit-canned. 2 left for lower paying LE jobs. Had lunch with the last one last summer in Portland, and he quit 2 years before he was eligible to enter into the retirement window. Left LE altogether.

    “Fuck it” comes in different forms, for different people. Out of my entire class, only one is still employed as a LEO in Oregon, and is the Chief of Police for his 4 person agency in the tiki bushes.
    You can get much more of what you want with a kind word and a gun, than with a kind word alone.

    Aren't knife fights and stabbings just harmless youthful fun?
