Portland #1 in death with 83% murder rise

Remember when Portland politicians and media cheerleaders used to boast about the Rose City’s “livability”?
Yeah, back in those days before the city’s exploding homeless crisis and the 2020 George Floyd/Antifa riots with the nightly craziness of the “protestors” and cravenness of police-defunding Portland officials. Portland, the self-proclaimed “City that Works” was leading the way for other big cities. Good times, right? Well, Portland’s still leading the way today, but this time it’s not in “livability.” It’s in what you might call “killability.”
That’s right, thanks in part to the anti-cop, defunding-the-police policies of Portland officials from Mayor Ted Wheeler (craven) to City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty (crazy) to Multnomah County District Attorney Schmidt (woke George Soros tool), Portland homicides skyrocketed since 2020. The Rose City killing increased at a higher rate than all other American cities. This is no small thing when you consider that 13 of the nation’s big cities (Rochester, Philadelphia, Columbus, Ohio, Baton Rouge, Austin, Albuquerque, Tucson, Louisville and St. Paul) shattered their homicide records last year. (It’s worth noting that, according to Forbes, at least 13 cities defunded their police by mid-August 2020. A coincidence? I don’t think so.) Homicides shot up 17 percent on average in Los Angeles, Oakland, San Diego and San Francisco. Portland witnessed an 83 percent rise in homicides in 2020.
