This is a reason why a lot of pilots from Alaska won’t go to Delta or United. Portland is safer than Atlanta, or Minneapolis, and just as safe as Denver.


Wait is this thread about Portland, or 30 minutes north and over the river in Vancouver?

Portland is exactly the way a majority of the residents want it. The politicians literally run on those policies and people vote for them.

There used to be a time where politicians said one thing, but did another. Mostly the Portland leaders have been extremely forthright in their intentions, and the results are predictable and inevitable.

Let it burn then, but when the mobs come to these leaders’ door they’ll be the first ones calling 911, but who knows if/when cops will come if you’ve run them off to other departments with less insanity to deal with.

No chance... Actually CNN, Don Lemon, Whoopi Goldberg and a couple politicians told me that crime isn't an issue at all. I feel way safer in Portland, Philly and Chicago than Tampa, Jacksonville or any mid-west Trumpy city. He was so mean on the twitter.
