I didn’t realize Portland had this struggle. In many parts of the country, it’s simply understood as their God-given right to have access to an AR-15.

As an Oregon resident living not far from Portland, the Portland Police are largely white supremacists and of course they won't handle mental illness situations appropriately.
I am not white and I do not feel safe in Portland. Not because of the unhoused or other pissants, but because of the law enforcement.
