Yes, we have a mayor who doesn't really care about the common citizen.
Their only focus is the miscreants, the ingrates, and the hell raisers.
So good.
I'm glad you called.
What does the average citizen of Portland think?
Most people are to the left, leftists as you would call them.
Apparently they like this mayor.
They plan to re-vote for mayor in November.
So if I asked your neighbors what should be done about the violent rioting that has gone on now for two months?
Well I just found out that the young neighbor next door has been participating in this and she got an earful from me.
Do you speak to her parents at all?
No, I don't generally.
They've been kind of quiet over the years, but we had an encounter the other day.
She had a concern, and I mentioned the rioting downtown, and she said, oh, I participate.
And she seemed totally oblivious to rules, law, order, civil respect.
She just thought that that was what you do when you're stupid and educated by the government over the last 20 years.
How old is she?
She's early 20s.
Right.
And she went to college, I presume?
I presume she has some college, but the local public schools here, middle through high school.
I think they're just as bad.
Oh, they are.
No, no, you're absolutely right.
College is irrelevant now.
It just cements what has already been paved.
Right.
But still, what do the business owners think?
That's a problem that I have.
have we have had this problem for 30 years long before Antifa that ingrates the miscreants the hate America first crowd has been here for a very long time and Chamber of Commerce seems to do absolutely nothing second another world Portland It is indeed.
It once was a beautiful city.
It still has some fantastic places to go, places to see.
But the total politics of this town has deteriorated.
I have lived here 65 years and have seen my once beautiful city to the point where I cry.
For 35 years I drove by the Washington statue that the President has mentioned.
I drove by the other day and it's just the pedestal that's standing.
