You would think folks in a poor community would avoid forcing a retail store to close that serves the neighborhood. How many jobs displaced, how much further do shoppers need to travel for what will be shoes that cost more?

By all means Mr. Wheeler- don't let them hire cops who could actually make arrests to clean up the situation.

When does Portland want to stop being weird and start growing up?>

    It's not just the lack of police, it is that there is no penalty for misdemeanor shop lifting. The perps get a fine they never have to pay and no jail time. They are out the same day and free to go do some more shop lifting. Car theft is just about the same.

    They don't allow the police to do their job. The new liberal mantra many here vote for. Pathetic little cuck commie shits.

    Its interesting. Sarah's sister Lisa Mensah is a far, far left rat. My guess is neither has no idea what their politics have wrought, nor would they care if they did have that realization or honesty

    Socialism and communism just haven't been done right.

    Unauthorized use of a motor vehicle is not prosecutable any longer unless the (very stupid) thief tells the truth about his/her actions thanks to the Oregon Court of Appeals interpretation of proving the elements of the crime.

    So, yeah it’s cool to steal cars in Oregon.

    Go pick up what’s left of your stolen/damaged car; fill out a police report (for the insurance claim); pay to get it out of the towing yard; La Di Dah.

    Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
