A crowd of 100 people wreaked havoc in downtown Portland, Oregon, this week – smashing storefront windows, lighting dumpsters on fire and causing at least $500,000 in damage – but police officers didn't stop them.  Portland Police Bureau officials say that's because of legislation passed by Oregon lawmakers this year, which restricts the tools they can use to confront people vandalizing buildings and causing mayhem.  “The reason that we did not intervene goes back to what we talked about last month with House Bill 2928 and the restrictions placed on us in a crowd control environment,” KOIN reports that Portland Police Lt. Jake Jensen said in a neighborhood meeting Thursday.

Residents frustrated by the latest round of destructive demonstrations Tuesday questioned whether that meant anything goes now in Portland.............To Read More.....

My Take - When Grant was President he once noted the best way to get rid of a bad law is to require it's strictest possible enforcement.  So, maybe, just maybe, this Chief of Police read a history book.  But even if he didn't, he apparently believes that.  Good for him!   Let em suffer, because until these leftists have to live with their insane thinking and confront that insanity and throw out all their "leaders" at all levels of Oregon's government this will never end. 

The EPA once said there's no training as good as a good civil penalty.  The suffering will be their history lived, and good for their future.  But if they don't learn from this insanity, it will be good for the rest of the nation as they will be an unending civics lesson on what not to do, along with Washington and California.  

Hmmmmm.... I just had a thought.  Does living along the coast of the Pacific with it's California Current cause insanity.
