A Portland, Oregon, clothing shop permanently shut down this month after facing a string of break-ins that has left the store financially gutted, according to a note posted to the front of the store.


Thefts have plagued retail chains nationwide in recent years. The National Retail Federation conducted a survey that found organized retail crime increased by 26.5% in 2021, resulting in a multi-billion dollar issue for businesses.

Violent crime in Portland has skyrocketed over the last few years. A recent study found it rose most precipitously in 2020 when the city saw near-nightly protests and riots over the death of George Floyd.
The city saw a 58% increase in homicides in 2020 compared to the year prior, and 2021 notched a 54% increase in homicides compared to the already violent and bloody 2020. The number of homicides in 2021 was a 238% increase from the numbers recorded in 2018.
Them Dems sure know how ruin a city

Trump was president in 2020.

Trump was president in 2020.

and he should have sent the NG there, and other places that the dem leadership allowed rioters to try to destroy

 

[1srelluc]

I wonder how the owner voted?

In a place like Portland deserves has everything to do with it.

Homicides and ransacking retail businesses are state crimes.

You don't hate Trump.... you're just stupid.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Expecting that a business can operate in safety is white privilege.

 

[Canon Shooter]

Trump was president in 2020.

And Ted Wheeler, a non-thinking left-wing democrat, was the Mayor.

But I've got a shiny new nickel that says you absolve him of responsibility, right?

Left Wing economics spreads poverty into the middle class

I don't know anything about him.

I think throwing out the Taskforce for 21st Century Policing was a huge mistake.

Well, perhaps you could smarten up and educate before you go trying to blame this on Trump (which was your very obvious intent).

The President doesn't run cities. Mayors do that, and Ted Wheeler has proven himself to be just about the worst Mayor in the country right now. Portland has become synonymous with the word "lawlessness".

I have friends there (I lived there briefly) and even those who were the most left-leaning have taken to arming themselves, just in case. He has destroyed that city and has seen to it that it can now be legitimately mentioned in the same breath as Detroit and Chicago when it comes to crime...

Throwing out the Taskforce for 21 st Century Policing didn't help.

Smart? surada? Come on man.

I suppose that can be debated.

What can't be debated is that Ted Wheeler has been at the helm of Portland for almost six years, and in those six years he's allowed it to turn into a slum.

Ted Wheeler shoulders the full weight of responsibility for what Portland has become...

Trump could have addressed their grievances about police brutality instead of mocking them.

 

[Polishprince]

Trump was president in 2020.

Portland's city and state government were ruled by Leftards.

President Trump offered liberal cities aid to fight Liberal Terror gangs, but they refused.

Since Trump became president 6 years ago???

Trump mocked their grievances and tried to get football players fired.

Crime on the streets of Portland is controlled by the despicable Democrat city and county leadership you nitwit.

shit flows downhill, not up.

that needs to be addressed at a local level first.
