They're your people (pseudo-progressive, illiberal mini-Bernies) so I'll take your word that respect/sympathy have zero to do with what they want.

I'm not a gun person so I wish I didn't need one. Unfortunately, it looks like having one is the smart move so I'll get one. I'll also get a gun locker so a houseless person can't break in while I'm out, find it and use it on me when I return.
Going with a fingerprint, keypad or key gun locker?

I have thought about the fingerprint one as in a panic situation it would be quicker to use but haven't had a chance to try one out yet.

mini-Bernies would be doing a better job :coffee:

And use small shot that will stay in the room - don't want to kill your neighbor while he's taking a shit if you miss the target.
Maybe he doesn’t like his neighbor either? :coffee:

It's a downward spiral that Portland's elected leaders don't understand and can't figure out how to address.

They've allowed the homeless to build camps in a variety of places because they want to respect the economically disadvantaged, mentally ill, addicts, etc. and they don't care about the impact on working people or property/business owners. Homeless camps have become a haven for drugs and violence that spills out into nearby neighborhoods. They waited way too long to start sweeping the homeless camps and the drugs and violence have become a part of the culture that follows them from camp to camp. Drive-by shootings and shoot-outs are becoming more common.

Add in the low morale, staffing shortages, and operational constraints placed on the Portland police and you have a recipe for violence and crime spiraling out of control. The results of defunding the police are being felt but city leaders don't have the courage to admit it.

I live in Portland but I vote and receive services from a nearby suburb. That's good for me because I have a lot more faith that suburban police will show up if there's a call than I do in the Portland police. There's a homeless camp a 1/4 mile from my moorage and I'm thankful that the moorage owner put in a security gate to enter the parking lot from Marine Drive. If it wasn't there my car would be getting broken into on a regular basis.

There is also a security gate to go down the ramp to my dock so a tweaker would need to swim to get to my house which actually happened earlier this week. Some dude climbed down the levee on the vacant lot next to my moorage and then walked along the shore to the shortest point to swim to my dock. He swam across buck naked and then broke into a neighbor's house and took a shower. The police were called and were waiting for him when he exited. He told them his "aura" told him to jump in the river and swim over.

I hear gunshots and street racers on Marine Drive at night on a regular basis. The homeless have also been filling in the path along Marine Drive that I used to like to walk when the weather was iffy. It's a great recreational path that is no longer safe. The houseless are obtaining some great waterfront property ...

Image

I lived in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago so I know how to be careful but I have been thinking that it's time to take Cid and 93's advice on a shotgun. If someone takes me out it will likely be random bad luck.

Let me know if Kalm.1 needs a guardian angel.

Weasels ripped my flesh!


:rofl:

With my heart racing, I could see the shadows ofthe Antifa following me....

..those who had been baying for my blood for two years had me in their literal grip

I pleaded like a madman for the night staff to call police "Call 911. Call 911. They're going to kill me"

The two staff on duty refused and said I needed to leave the property ( :rofl: )

I got on my knees behind the desk and continued pleading ( :lmao: )


Andy Ngo and the NYPost....apogee of American literature... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I'm making plenty of coin and paying a 2013 house note with inflated 2022 dollars. Life is great in the SDH household, wish I could say the same for the common CA resident.
