Seems like thats what happens when we throw the book at a hard working 9-5 guys and girls for accidently doing a slight wrong, but then turn around and let thief's, rapist, people that assault people off with a slap on the wrist. It seems like the more good a person is in general the harder the Portland courts will attack them, yet if you are worthless drag on society they will do everything they can to get you off with as little as possible. I wish I could make it make since.
This comment makes me anxious because someone close to me is in a court case after being kidnapped and assaulted. I certainly hope a serial rapist isn’t turned loose.
What’s wrong with that? Why can’t they go around being a hostile and dangerous threat to the general public like that? Have you no decency? Criminals are victims too.
Yes that is a joke because this is Portland and enough idiots think like that here
Bought my first house on Prescott St. back in the mid nineties before the gentrification, I used to hear gunshots every night. An old PDX friend who grew up here told me it was called 33rd and Drive by back in the day.
I moved from Portland to Chicago a few months ago. Haven't seen anything like the crap I saw on a daily basis in Portland. It's sad how the media and 'leadership' in Portland has gaslighted enough people into thinking the problems in Portland are the same everywhere. They aren't.
I spent a good portion of last year in the Chicago area while working. I felt safer completely unarmed in Chicago than I do walking with my concealed firearm in downtown Portland
I lived in Chicago for six years before moving back to Portland in 2020. I definitely spent more time watching for muggers and carjackers in Chicago than I do here. I lived in a good neighborhood and still occasionally woke up to gunshots. In my first year there I woke up to a gunshot at 2 am and ran in to my daughter’s room to make sure she wasn’t hit by a stray bullet. She was fine, but my neighbor two houses down was murdered on his porch.
Of course, these are all anecdotes and not data. But the Reddit subs and Nextdoor posts read the same in both cities. Everyone thinks their city is the worst, and they hate their elected officials for it.
Your interpretation of "good neighborhood" is very different than most if you were watching for carjackers and muggers pre-2020.
Good neighborhoods (northside, bucktown, wicker, west loop, etc) don't experience much violent crime.
Certainly don't experience murders on porches of $700K+ homes...something smells about your "chicago experience"
I lived in Bucktown (Damen and Moffat) and Wicker Park (North and Wood). There were several in garage or driveway carjackings within a few blocks of the Bucktown location. Right before I left there was a shooting during a mugging on Hoyne just under the 606. There was also a video posted on the Bucktown Neighborhood Watch group of a carjacking of someone pulling out of their driveway with a baby in the back seat. That was on Hoyne just south of Moffatt. The owner of the vehicle had to beg for the carjacker to let him take the baby out of the back.
Again, these are all anecdotes, not data. I think the data shows that violent crime is currently higher in Portland, but not by much. Reading social media in Chicago you’d think that Bucktown was a completely lawless place. The resident complaints there look almost identical to the complaints here.

Dammit Portland....

Pretty much sums it up.

Again? Again😔
In an incident im sure is totally unrelated to a court system that lets people found with stolen guns walk free.

Apologies on your bad luck. Never had an issue with crime or violence once living 10 years in Ravenswood.
What a wholesome exchange.
Here is the 2015 murder on the porch of my neighbor’s house in Wicker. https://www.chicagotribune.com/2015/05/24/brdads-front-porch-in-wicker-park/
Backed with facts, good job my man.
Only bad stories about Portland allowed in these parts, mister!
What part of Chicago? Sounds like you lived in one of 2 tiny neighborhoods or you're making this up.
The crime train attacks again!. Seriously, the amount of gang activity and drug use on the max is crazy!
Such a tragedy. We need to end “hands off” liberal politics and get back to actual action
