I'm only going to pull out a few gems, but this entire thing is worth the read.
Mahriah Zimmerman says her multiracial family of three lived in terror as a white neighbor at their South Waterfront condo sprayed bleach and threw lit cigarettes at her 4-year-old son, pounded on the common walls of their condo in the middle of the night and threatened to shoot her entire family. That was all while screaming antisemitic and racist slurs directed at the three of them, including her son and his dad, who are Black.
It was her son’s introduction to racial hatred and bigotry.
“I had to explain to him what the N-word was,” Zimmerman said. “He had never heard that word before, ever.”
Zimmerman’s case illustrates a small but significant trend: Even in Portland, the most liberal bastion in a left-leaning state, hate crime cases fail in avoidable ways.
The Oregonian/OregonLive reviewed the prosecution of cases in the three counties that comprise the state’s most populous region — Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas.
While Multnomah County has had some of the most aggressive hate crime prosecutions in Oregon — convicting more defendants per capita than many other parts of the state — it also is home to some devastating defeats. Among the three metro counties, it has the highest rate of hate crime case failures over the past year.
One in three cases that police forwarded to the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office in 2022 didn’t result in prosecutors filing hate crime charges, including some for legitimate reasons.
“Each individual case sounds like an isolated case,” said Hongcheng Zhao, president of the Oregon Chinese Coalition. “But you put them together and it’s a systemic problem.”
This entire article is so astonishingly ironic. It shows just how far they've been pushed left.
Oh, and the best part? Oregon Live is considered the 'Conservative' outlet.

This is a tremendous insight into the leftist worldview. He’s acknowledging that many hate crime cases are tossed out for legitimate reasons, but such cases must be viewed as isolated incidents. This preserves the narrative of rising hate crime regardless of how many reports turn out to be bullshit.
But if the number of “isolated incidents” compounds to the point where you have an undeniable pattern of bogus hate crime charges, then you conveniently decide to switch gears and address the issue “systemically”. This allows you to obscure and ignore the unpleasant reality formed by all of your evidence. You can just focus on what you perceive to be an unacceptable outcome without bothering to examine how it happened (or why it’s actually correct).
Also, I’m sure this Asian person is deathly afraid of white people. Social media is littered with videos of whites violently attacking Asians…
Anyways, I’m going to say the same thing I always say whenever anyone suggests that white people, as a demographic, are dangerous:
The two biggest financial decisions most people will make in their lives involve buying a house and educating their children. When it comes to signing up for a 30 year mortgage or securing your children’s future, all the luxury beliefs give way to cold, hard pragmatism.
So what happens in these decisions?
People choose white neighborhoods and white schools. Everyone, every time. Because everyone knows they are safer.
And all the scaremongering about the dangers posed by white people doesn’t change this behavior, which is how you know it’s all performative posturing for political and culture gain. The most stridently anti-white ADL shill would never send his kid to a mostly black school or buy a house in a mostly black neighborhood. He’s just gaslighting for tribal profit.
The nutcase in question is a woman named Nakamura, not exactly a WASP.
After [. . .] a successful lawsuit from the condo association [fined Nakamura] more than $100 per day for her ongoing threats to multiple neighbors and staff — the neighbor moved out. The intimidation and screaming stopped without any help from the criminal justice system.
Good. The matter was resolved without going to law. Fuck this yuppie. Her little progressive brood was not the only target of Nakamura's raving, evidently. She gets a win and wants to drag the problem out, and this shitrag accommodates her, blowing it up into a claim of "systemic" horseshit by whining about "hate" crime.
A local government that encouraged lawlessness through lack of enforcement, prosecution and budget now has an epidemic of lawless behavior with less resources given to "extra special" cases for "extra special" people.
You voted for this progressive stack, now get smothered by it.
It’s even worse than that. These people created an environment in which law enforcement and the courts no longer “target black people” (aka black criminality and violence are no longer curtailed by the state). The extremely predictable and natural consequence of these policies is an explosion in black violence and crime, which then lead to increased wariness and weariness towards unaccountable and belligerent blacks (aka “racism”). The lefties are mad that the legal system they deliberately sabotaged to protect blacks isn’t cracking down hard enough on white people who commit the cardinal sin of pattern recognition.
While I agree with you in general, I do not know if that completely applies here.
From what I read, it seems that at least some of the belligerents were not black, with another comment in this thread pointing out that a "Nakamura" was at fault for the story headlining the posted article. That does not sound like the last name of an American urban youth to me.
Again, is the left trying to set up another parallel justice system based on skin color? Absolutely. Is that the case here? No, though this situation is a symptom of their pathological need to "be on the right side of history" by favoring "underprivileged/underrepresented/underserved" groups to the detriment of all others, which also applies to your comment.
In short, Portland has placed bums, crazies and poltical extremists over "at risk" groups, all of which are above whites, conservatives and law abiding citizens.
I thought that was because all the white progressive communities had spirted away the black folks to live as mascots in their ultra diverse and not at all racist neighborhoods.

Abso-freaking-lutely the best take so far.
Uhhh, where's that pesky...

"We voted for all the pro-crime candidates and now our city is full of crime! How could this be happening to us?"
You'd have to find a black person in the first place... It's the cloudy side of the PNW. Even the black people are pale.

I've actually been told by a few that they have to act stereotypical because everyone demands it. It reminds me of Lee from East of Eden.
