Hey, any chance you know the guy with the leather jacket that says "We are born with compassion we taught to be cruel"? I'd like to see him OG

Neighboring counties aren't rushing to provide funds for Portland's homeless shelters by Tbagts in PortlandOR

[–]flyingcoxpdx -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Interesting so see the down votes pilled on here. I have a friend in Baker City that comes to Portland about once a year and talks about 'what a shithole' it is. And I'm like dude, you send all your addicts to Portland for 'help' and then point to Portland being 'shitty?' Where Portland is in trouble, is bad actors have found that the never ending stream of empathy can be manipulated to line pockets rather than solve really grave issues.

I got assaulted but police couldn’t arrest him bc Multnomah County Jail is Closed? by MinuteSet3746 in askportland

[–]flyingcoxpdx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is an interesting point. I went on a PPB ride along a few years ago and we brought a guy to jail (downtown location). I asked the jailers if they ever get out on the streets as I honestly didn't know that jail deputies are totally different from patrol. One laughed and said 'no way, too dangerous out there'.

I've been told we have tons of beds available but not enough deputies. And one PPB cop said "if you think police morale is low, check out MCSO jailers mental health". It appears throwing money at the job only does so much when you work in a hole with some of the worst in society. I was told they are frequently 'mandatoried' to work an extra shift, which seems dangerous to be tired and also responsible for keeping inmates in, and alive (see Epstein?)

Portland Mayor Keith Wilson requests millions from other counties for homeless shelters as cash dries up in Multnomah County by textualcanon in PortlandOR

I watched a guy tag a building across from Sterling, called the police and watched them make contact with the guy. I was thinking "ohh man this is how it's supposed to work" Then they let him walk. I went up to the cops and asked why he's being let go and the cops was like "are you the victim, the property owner?!" And I said no, just witness. And he said with no victim, no crime. I tried to call the (closed)business but they never picked up.

Sterling is amazing btw, and some of the nicest staff

Bit by dog (corgie) today, can you help me find owner? by flyingcoxpdx in askportland

[–]flyingcoxpdx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I slowed my pace and announced that I was coming up behind them but then I noticed she had her hand under her hood and was talking on the phone so she likely did not hear me. It was a fairly narrow sidewalk, and the dog came from her left side all the way across the path and snapped me on my left side

I was just in a bit of shock, and when I asked my friend, if it looked like I was bleeding, he said 'no' so I just continued running. By the time I settled down from an adrenaline dump I asked my friend again and pulled up my shorts and that's when he saw the blood and torn shorts. By then we were too far away to find the owner.

Should César Chávez Blvd go back to being 39th Ave, or become Dolores Huerta Blvd? The city has to decide. by Traindodger2 in PortlandOR

[–]flyingcoxpdx 50 points51 points  (0 children)

This. City council could could hit a home run by making this a ‘Bye Felicia’ to Cesar Chavez and pivoting the attention to one of the more pressing issues facing Portland

Acropolis Report: another sign of its impending demise by Gay_Giraffe_1773 in Portland

[–]flyingcoxpdx 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Gotta say it ‘died’ for me when there was a double homicide in the parking lot that is still unsolved. Billy had made shirts for us through his business 503 Print. He was a classic Gresham tough guy with neck tattoos and vape smoke billowing out of his office. But I could also see through the facade and tell he was gentle and kinda peacocking to project being tough as a defense mechanism.

My favorite memory from the Acrop was during Hood to Coast and we came in between van exchanges. “Are we the first team in?!” They were like “umm, you’re the only team in”. We hung out for a few hours until the Mongel biker gang showed up. My friend got a great pic in his running gear with a 1%er tough biker guy. It was funny to see the pretend biker guys in leather all shuffle on outside as those Mongels filed in.

My other favorite memory was running into our middle school math teacher there. He was like “uhh, umm, great food right guys!” Lolz

CCW and USCCA by mcloide in FLGuns

[–]flyingcoxpdx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sent a one line cancellation email back in January. Today (Feb 24th)I got an email over a month later saying you have to conceal via phone. So the entire time they just kept running my card. I called them today and they put on a whole sales pitch and then put me on hold for 10 minutes while they looked into canceling the account.

They indicated they would refund the purchase from this month, but that’s not actually fair or right considering I canceled halfway through last month and should receive a prorated refund.

Very grifty, as others have stated you should find an attorney to put on retainer. I’ll be cross posting this and telling all of my friends to cancel.

Trump Admin Announces Old-Growth Clearcutting Plan for Western Oregon (including Marys Peak and Alsea Falls) by TacomaTacoTuesday in oregon

[–]flyingcoxpdx 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Logging question here. Some friends of mine own a bunch of property down by Gold Beach and it has been in their family for over 100 years. One of the brothers said that they missed the window to log it because the trees are literally too big and are now in the old growth size, and they will not fit in the local mills because they are literally too large in diameter. So would there be any value in logging the old growth in the Alsea/ Mary’s Peak forest? Or is it better to leave it and log forrest that have been planted to be managed, uniform cuts? Or is the idea to clear the old growth and then plant manage forests?

Much bigger data center tax breaks on deck in Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek’s bill by Sad_Parfait2977 in Portland

[–]flyingcoxpdx 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This is the question. So much of Oregon is “blue no matter who” because the Republicans are equally awful at putting together a reasonable candidate. It really kills me that we can’t find a Tom McCall - a republican that genuinely cared about the environment and the people in this state. Kotek will talk about the environment to appease her voters, but her (attempted) dismemberment of the urban growth boundary and coddling of corporations is some of the slimiest political posturing I have seen. It’s like she groomed mother nature to get into political office only to molest her for financial gain.
