LOL You are a HOOT. The rest of the country wishes they had it as
nice as Portland. Most of the people who live here are in shock because
we set a new record for murders here. This is still one of the safest
big cities in the country. It looks like we're going to finish the year
somewhere close to 15.6 murders per 100,000 population. Shocking for us.
Just a pleasant walk in the park compared many other places.
"Portland records its 93rd homicide in 2022, a new all-time high"
"Portland breezed past last year’s record 92 homicides and planted a new
flag on Nov. 23 when the city recorded its 93rd homicide of the year.
The victim, 45-year-old Raja McCallister, was shot and killed last
Wednesday in the Creston-Kenilworth neighborhood, police said in a
statement.
The 93 deaths include four people who were shot by Portland police and a
man killed by a Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office deputy during a
pursuit into Portland."

Bwak, bwak, the sky is falling, the sky is falling! I wonder how
the people in New Orleans. or Birmingham, or Baltimore, or Saint Louis
feel? For the first half of the year their murder rate was running at
least twice as high as ours. In New Orleans the rate was running 36.8
per 100,000.
I'm glad you enjoy Oregon news, even if you only enjoy the
gruesome stuff. But, it isn't my responsibility to keep your dumb ass up
to date. As usual, I'll concentrate on the amazing and amusing.
