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.
