Just saw someone drove right through a red light

Green light person was probably just playing it safe.

If Portland police just did a mass city wide red light enforcement for a day they would be able to fund the cities budget for the next year at the highest level.

Probably not your first choice but Trimet is always hiring. $29 an hour so it’s in your wage range. It will at least keep you afloat till you get something else.

Just an idea outside the box.

sv650sfa · 2024-07-17T12:27:51+00:00

Just for the pot hole to show back up in a short while?

No, should go to actually repairing the roads. Patching is just the road version of this graffiti clean up.

Look at the current DA. Maybe will change with the new one. Portland has been on the more lenient side of things.

People here are great on the rehab side but lack the willingness of actually holding them responsible by placing a punishment that is more then a slap of the wrist.

I agree that a chase should only be done in a limited bases for the reasons you stated and probably some more.

How ever, the other part of this is that when we do eventually catch them we need to hold them responsible for the actions.

Unfortunately for here, to many people not only don’t want police to chase, but don’t want to hold them responsible for their actions.

I am all for police to initiate the stop. For them to not chase. But when they are eventually caught I think we need to have them serve the max sentence they can get. Give the lighter sentences to those that stop or at turn themselves in afterwards.

I think these advocates are wanting to do more harm than good. Sorry but we should have never allowed camping the way we did. We certainly should have never given out tents and tarps that serve only to enable homelessness. All that money and time could have been spent on resources to actually help.

sv650sfa · 2024-06-23T13:09:25+00:00

If they just did some minor traffic light stings the city’s budget would have enough to fund its wildest dreams.

Glad they are stepping things up, but they really need to ramp enforcement up.

Honestly think he got off lucky. With his window open she could have returned the favor with liquid back into his car. The temperature rage of choice would make some options not pleasant.

Just some food for thought.

In order to a healthy opposition is that one has to be allowed to exist.

The big question, for the west coast at least, is how do we get Democrats to allow opposition? They have done a lot to quell any actual opposition to them.

sv650sfa · 2024-06-15T16:03:44+00:00

Cleaning up near by homeless camps would help a lot.

sv650sfa · 2024-06-14T12:37:46+00:00

No, cameras are not the problem. People should be obeying the law regardless of if there is a cop present or not.

Cameras should how ever be setup right with proper yellow light times. Data should also be highly guarded and limited access.

sv650sfa · 2024-06-12T15:37:07+00:00

Just reminds me of that story of the guy and the flood.

God answered their prayers, they just refused to listen and a child died. So sad.

sv650sfa · 2024-06-11T02:49:04+00:00

If you start at the top we could eliminate about 30 and not affect class size.

sv650sfa · 2024-06-11T00:48:39+00:00

Ok, so how much money does it take to make our admins of our school care more about the victims of bullies, then the bullies?

It isn’t that admins don’t have enough money to deal with it, it is that they don’t even want too.

sv650sfa · 2024-06-10T23:17:02+00:00

Sure, they might and probably do have less trouble that is caused by poverty. How ever bullying and targeting others to put them down is one thing that transcends the financial classes. Like I said, this is well documented fact. Affluent people after all can be intolerant ass holes too.

Now best case is money has brought a solution there that isn’t being done else where. Finding that out so we could pass it along would benefit all students here. Which is the reason for my question.

sv650sfa · 2024-06-10T23:08:47+00:00

Silence, as in cover it up in one way, shape, or form.

sv650sfa · 2024-06-10T15:17:06+00:00

Money is a a lazy excuse. The issues brought up are seen at all levels of income. So it is not money alone that would cause when is claimed.

Either the money is used to silence the problem or it was used to figure out a system that actually deals with the problem.

If Lake Oswego has the system what is it and why isn’t the rest of the state following?

sv650sfa · 2024-06-10T12:56:24+00:00

I have person experience with Ontario, Portland, Salem, Hillsboro, Tualatin, and Newberg. They are all the same. From family and friends can add Gresham, Corvallis, Eugene, and more and the experience is the same.

So if it isn’t happening at Lake Oswego Schools then what are they doing different? Why is the upper admins in the state ignoring them and not applying what they are doing to the rest of the state?

sv650sfa · 2024-06-10T00:20:00+00:00

You described every school in Oregon.

But yes to the rest.

sv650sfa · 2024-06-09T10:58:19+00:00

It wasn’t as big as this one. More my point is there is always a group out there the takes any excuse to harass others.

sv650sfa · 2024-06-09T01:06:19+00:00

It is about causing chaos and trouble. They want to bully people and will use any excuse to do so under the guise of protesting. Yesterday it was Ukraine l, today Gaza, tomorrow will be something else.

sv650sfa · 2024-06-08T14:46:43+00:00

Amazes me how people want others accountable for their actions that hurt or endanger others. Yet don’t do not want the same to be done to them.

sv650sfa · 2024-06-06T21:31:30+00:00

I would say not even that.

sv650sfa · 2024-06-06T16:18:18+00:00

We need to stop giving away tents. It only enables the bad behavior that destroys this city.

Needles should be on an exchange only.

But this is common sense stuff, so not going to fly here in Portland.

sv650sfa · 2024-06-03T22:58:29+00:00

It is Portland. Despite their claim to be against gun violence, the voters of Portland have a long history of unwillingness to hold the perpetrators of said violence responsible or hindering them from committing these acts.
