No way. Scrolling right past his crap posts and then making fun of him without actually reading what he posted is pretty easy.

Okay Moderator 12 - you placed yourself firmly in the liberal camp of CVON as demonstrated by the likes you had from this post.  Unfortunately for you, you just killed any semblance of impartiality that you had.  So now, you established that you willingly support the left.  This post reflects and affects you much more negatively than it does any of the conservative leaning posters on these boards.  Oh, and one more thing

Portland families forced to sell their homes as concerns mount over homeless camps

'The community is at its wit's end,' one resident says

Residents in a Portland neighborhood are resorting to selling their homes and moving due to homeless encampments right outside their front doors.  

"It’s a little scary because I know there is mental illness and that concerns me," one North Portland resident Maria Inocencio told KGW8.

Residents of North Portland said at least three families on one street have left in recent days due to the homeless camps, and KGW8 reported seeing for sale signs up and down streets. 

"I would say the migration to the suburbs, I’ve seen quite a bit in the last two years," real estate broker Lauren Iaquinta said. "Most people don’t want to have to worry about if they can leave their car parked in their driveway overnight without maybe having it broken into. It’s a pretty testy subject."

Iaquinta said she now studies neighborhoods to see if there are homeless camps in a given area while working with potential buyers. 

"It’s neighborhood by neighborhood. You can be driving through North Portland and you’re in this lovely area where there’s no issues, and then you can make a turn around the corner and have homeless camps there. It’s kind of sad. I’ve been doing this for 10 years here in Portland and it’s changed quite a bit," she said. 

Homeless encampments along parts of the Peninsula Crossing Trail, a once-popular bike path, have been there for years, but have grown in recent days, sparking calls from residents in North Portland to call on the city for help.

"The community is at its wit's end," Tom Karwaki, who chairs the neighborhood association, told KGW8. He said he hopes a city initiative called  Safe Rest Village, which would operate as an organized camp for the homeless and run by nonprofits, will help clean up the area. 

"The city can do better, the county can do better, we as a community and as a state can do better," Karwaki added. "No one feels safe. Generally, from the housed community and the unhoused community, many don’t feel safe."

Others reported that just by walking out of their house, they are met by people in "really dire straits."

"Every day if you go from one end of the street to the other, you’re confronting some very difficult situations, people in really dire straits," resident Mark Smith said. He shares a backyard with one of the encampments.

A 30-year resident of North Portland, Greg Dilkes, said, "It’s the first time in a long time" that he has seriously considered moving.

"It makes you not feel that great about living here," Dilkes said. "It makes living in the neighborhood harder, not as congenial as it could be."

People living in the homeless camps, however, say residents should have nothing to fear. 

"We are the most harmless people you’ll ever meet," TT Sanchez, who lives in one of the camps along the Peninsula Crossing Trail, told KGW8. "They shouldn’t be scared of us for what? Because we live outside? That’s the only reason you should be scared of us because we live outside so if we lived in four walls and a house and stuff would you still be scared of us?"

What a stupid remark.  Do you actually believe everything you post as the truth?  If it's interesting and presents a different point of view than what's presented in the MSM and liberal publications that losers like you like to share here, I'll post it.  There is a strong need for opposing points of view because of the herd of wacko liberals that populate and moderate this football message board.

Stop projecting your mindset onto others.  I see critical thinking and analysis is not your strong point.

You believed a game show host when he told you the election was rigged and you should take horse dewormer. Do you hear that? It’s the sound of the short bus and it honks for thee.

Can I be a geek for a second?

 

In that scene, the emphasis is on the word HE. Like "Why are you worried about him? I almost died!”

 

And I’m probably the only fan of that series/movie that saw the movie first and the tv series years later.

Hypersonic Weapons Arrive in Kaliningrad

Quote

But such an intentionally publicized move as placing hypersonic missile armed MiG fighters on "alert" at Russia's Baltic outpost is an escalatory move aimed at NATO and Ukraine's Western backers which have been ramping up longer-range missile and weapons shipments to Kiev. Kaliningrad borders NATO members Poland and Lithuania, both of which will see this move as a severe threat to their national security.
