Portland deadliest year on record

@my_2cents your ideas suck. What kind of an idiot would want this kind of pain and destruction implemented anywhere near their family?
I don’t feel bad for them. They voted for the policies that created the mess, now they can live with the consequences. Sadly the voters up there are stupid and will continue to vote for the same BS, expecting different results. As far as I’m concerned areas like Portland are a lost cause, let it burn to the ground.
You can throw in a lot of other major democrat run cities, also.
They count them as COVID deaths and blame Trump. All is good.
Many voted for them I'm sure, but I believe elections have been stolen in this country for decades. Our biggest weakness in this country is tolerance, We tolerated the left taking over in California and if we called them out we were considered politically incorrect.
We let 2020 get stolen and are scared to rise together and say we have to fix it. We've allowed George Soros to buy all these district attorney officers who let theCriminals back out on the streets. We let California be taken over by the white, Marxist, left. We continue to let the left kill the country, obviously they're killing the world it is not just in the good old USA

Have a bro in law lives just outside of Portland.....they NEVER go into downtown Portland
@davidallen, I think HSH found the answer to the question you've been Dodge Allening.
Liberals love destroying things. Why wouldn't they be smug about it?
the real legacy of George Floyd. Yea, your daddy changed the world all right.

Philadelphia now has MORE murders than NYC and LA
As of December 6, Philadelphia had recorded 521 homicides for the year, surpassing New York's 443 and Los Angeles at 352 despite the much smaller population in Philadelphia.
What kind of an idiot? The contemporary idiot.
The Dimms can't secure Portland. Some of us are surprised they can't secure Kabul?
Portland by design- flood the country with illegals, corrupt DA let criminals out for mayhem in all the cities, stop the food and product supply lines, all
Small biz gone, only big woke corporations left in cahoots with a ONE.....WORLD.....GOVERNMENT.......ie the New World Order....ie the Great Reset. Elites are rich and powerful and control- rest of us are peasants and own nothing- we rent from them.
Don't believe me? Look up New World Order and the great reset....look up Blackrock How they're buying up rental houses, Bill Gates buying up farmland to control us.
Us conspiracy theorists are shrinking as it's all known as truth now. They Shredded Alex Jones (I had doubted him bc they tarnished him) but that's dudes been right on everything? Look at who they demonize- that's a good sign those people are telling truths

From Bari Weiss’ Substack site comes a plea by a progressive for his fellow progressives to stop with the idiocy.

Dan, That does not seem to be written by Bari Weiss, just hosted on her substack.I was surprised to hear Bari Weiss call herself a progressive. I did not know she thought of herself as such. Taking her at her word here’s an article by a progressive begging her fellow progressives to wise up.

Seems to be long on anecdotes and short on data.

Interesting paper on the "Ferguson Effect"

Did de‐policing cause the increase in homicide rates?

Re: the anecdote about the shooting in Oakland. Oakland didn't reduce their police budget!
Again, Democrats and Progressives can wait for data, but when fellow Progressives point out the mistakes it would be wise to listen to them. Waiting for the data may be too late. The people living the data may not take kindly to being experimental toys.
That's way too long for my limited attention span. I notice it says it covers the years 2010-2015. That was a lifetime ago. Can you give me an edited version of what it says?Interesting paper on the "Ferguson Effect"

The data is not hard to come by Dan. We know police budgets and we know the homicide rates.
I thank God I don't live in a crime-ridden neighborhood. Not yet, anyway. But if I did I would say the hell with the data, don't defund the police.
I read the first page. I didn't read the study. The abstract doesn't really say anything much different from what the link I posted said. The difference as I see it is the link I posted was written by a guy that lived only a few blocks away from a neighborhood being shot up while his friend and her family were ducking for cover, while the paper you posted is data provided by academics whose neighborhoods have not been shot up. Sometimes it is best to go with lived reality, not the other way.
The guy who got shot up lived in a city that increased police funding!
You missed this part? " We use structural equation modeling to estimate the simultaneous relationship between arrest and homicide rates between 2010 and 2015 in 53 large cities. We find no evidence of an effect of arrest rates on city homicide rates for any offense category for any year in this period, including 2015, the year of the spike in homicide levels."
If the hypothesis is "The Ferguson riots reduced police interaction with criminal suspects which lead to an increase in homicides" I think arrest rates may not be the sole variable but it is certainly is sufficient to disprove the hypothesis.
George Soros' quiet overhaul of the U.S. justice system
Progressives have zeroed in on electing prosecutors as an avenue for criminal justice reform, and the billionaire financier is providing the cash to make it happen.

Yes, gut feel. It would take only one time to see my family at risk to know I wouldn’t want to defund the police. I’m all for reform of things like qualified immunity and confiscation of property. But if I lived in a crime riddled neighborhood I would want the police to be on every street corner. So, yes, it’s a gut feel.
Ummm Bari Weiss is a right wing spin nazi. Same as Krystal Ball.From Bari Weiss’ Substack site comes a plea by a progressive for his fellow progressives to stop with the idiocy.

Try to keep up.
Don't tell me you were supporting their conclusion based on an abstract. Wtf?
