As stated in the article above they have shelters that they can go to and for whatever reason they have chosen to take a stand at City Hall, make demands and camp out. From my point of view, they are not in a very comfortable position to be make demands of any kinds. The city is offering shelter, I am sure the vast majority get food stamps (If not Portland, isn't going to let them starve), am sure they also (not everyone) get checks SSI or disability, there are plenty of mental, medical , therapy and counseling available all offered free or at a minimal amount. And if they think they are going to continue to camp out at City Hall I'm sorry for them. This is another case of the minority dictating to the majority and I for one have had enough. I'm also sick of the Mayor and the rest of the yellow bellied councilors that haven't got the gumption to tell these homeless people that we are demanding they pack up. The powers to be best be remembering who put them in power. We voted them in and we sure as hell can VOTE THEM OUT. Oh, and by the way we pay taxes... See now wasn't that easy.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14197704157492675239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-12959120834299146182020-08-05T13:06:13.625-04:002020-08-05T13:06:13.625-04:00Can't think of a more deserving city.

No responsibility or commonsense at all. The Portland city officials are showing no responsibility to their tax paying constituents. Such lack of responsibility ought to see all voted out, but not in Portland. I will take my business elsewhere.gafferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03103607476134901115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-11956203211753568342020-08-04T11:22:11.245-04:002020-08-04T11:22:11.245-04:00The mayor met with a spokesman for the tent city f...The mayor met with a spokesman for the tent city folks. No progress. With this situation as well as the destruction committed by BLM and Antifa, I’m reminded of the “Crying Indian” (Iron Eyes Cody) PSA back in the early 70’s. Keeping America Beautiful apparently does not apply for the area around city hall.Kafirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10663195095750630774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-91542833605571245892020-08-04T09:03:47.137-04:002020-08-04T09:03:47.137-04:00Trained Press liaison, with "organizational&q...Trained Press liaison, with "organizational" walkie talkies.<br />Nicely printed "Our Demands". <br />Got it.CaptDMOnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-35896656790565819572020-08-04T00:30:51.038-04:002020-08-04T00:30:51.038-04:00This is so so sad and I'm in agreement with on...This is so so sad and I'm in agreement with one of the other posters.

The city and state were proudly able to absorb 450 illegal refugees the Congo and Angola last year, but can’t deal with this homeless issue? <br /><br />I encourage people to go see this mess for themselves. My 95 year old mother and I did so a few days ago. All we can do is shake our heads in disbelief. The people of Portland deserve better, but they’re the same useful idiots who voted for these Leftist losers.Kafirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10663195095750630774noreply@blogger.com
