Another _could_ be letting people in Portland tear the city apart with impunity.

View on HN

For most folks in Portland, pandemic aside, it’s been life as usual.

I have yet to encounter lefties in my SE hood terrorizing anyone.

Plenty of Trump caravans last year, waking us up, shooting guns.

All from outside the city.

Sure violence is up but it’s up all over. A side effect of a nation coddling old wealth, leaving the masses to rot.

Then the media is utterly and in conspiracy theory fashion lying about the situation on a daily basis. I’m not saying that’s not the case, just that it’s not the message the rest of us are getting, maybe and including these counties wanting out.

Yes they are obviously lying.
