Portlanders Complain About Police Response Times
Well, d'uh. Next time call Antifa.
[OregonLive] Henry Kirim had ducked out of his Southeast Portland apartment to search his car for a missing bank card when a strange man rushed into his ground-floor unit, closed the door and locked it.

Kirim fumbled for his house key, thankful he had it on the same ring as his car key, and raced to open his apartment door.

"I was so scared," he said.

The next 10 minutes unfolded in a blur on Aug. 22. The stranger grabbed a kitchen knife. Kirim’s petrified son managed to dart out of the apartment. Kirim followed and started yelling for neighbors to help. When the man eventually fled, several residents gave chase and cornered him nearby.
For some reason, the residents are not described as "vigilantes."
It took police more than 90 minutes to arrive. Just before an officer finally appeared, the suspect ran off. More than a half-dozen calls had come into 911 over the course of the bizarre ordeal. But that apparently didn’t speed the response.

The wait confounded and angered Kirim and his neighbors. They wondered what it would take for police to respond if not an armed man placing a child in jeopardy.

Police were responding at the same time to a tactical call in East Precinct that required a special team and also were monitoring what turned out to be a violent clash between dueling protesters in downtown as well as preparing for another nightly protest.
Those bloody-minded anarcho-communists ruin everything for everybody. On purpose — something you might want to remember when you and your neighbours go to vote in November, Mr. Kirim.

1 They vote for the Devil then complain when he eats their lunch and children.

2 An example why all elected positions should have 'none of the above' which if it gets a plurality of votes requires a new election without any of the candidates on the original ballot within 30 days.

4 ^ And for a laugh riot, watch the same people who want vote-by-mail and ballot harvesting come up with 27,000 reasons in three seconds why P2K's idea is a bad one.

Yes, yes. They will avidly vote for the next Hitler or Stalin in the name of avoiding the same.

6 Well, y'know, Hitler had all the answers. So'd Stalin. So'd Kaiser Bill. So'd Mussolini. For that matter, so'd Napoleon Bonaparte, Juan Peron, Joe Mobutu, pick one, or name yer own... If they had all the answers, that meant you didn't have to waste any effort on thought.

An oversight, I'm sure; no doubt the presstitutes will rectify that soon - or be fired. >:-(

Perhaps this was considered a 'friendly' neighborhood?

Imagine having to hear the jabber for 90 minutes.

11 It may be easy to poo-poo...

But there are people, I hear, whatever they might have believed and voted for, didn't sign on for this shit.

Stuff about evacuated neighborhoods being burnt down...with no sign of wildfire.

Stuff about I Was Wrong.

Tremors, mind you, but tremors all the same.
