First of all: this asshole was shooting at #homeless people in #NorthPortland. He's riding a pretty unique fat tire #ebike which looks like it has motors in the front and rear which is rare. If you recognize him, turn his ass in.
Second: never forget that the #Portland #Police have cameras everywhere. #ACAB #NoKings #FuckICE
Always great to read some good news
#pdx Portland Said It Was Investing in #Homeless People’s Safety. Deaths Have Quadrupled.
"The city responded to an increase in homeless deaths by intensifying encampment sweeps and adding emergency shelter at the expense of permanent housing. Experts say this has perpetuated the problem.”

Hey #Portland there's a guy trying to shoot homeless people in your area. It's rare that a case like this gets so much media coverage, such solid pictures of the attacker AND a $2500 bounty.
Hope y'all locate him:
📍 1300 & 1600 block of Schmeer Road
📍 3500 block of North Victory Blvd.
This man is wanted for questioning after a series of unprovoked shootings targeting homeless people.

And then they have the nerve to say that the problem is not Capitalism and Wage Slavery - it's us and our unwillingness to work, our laziness. That's complete bullshit!! The fact is that we live under a system that is for the most completely irrational and meaningless. Every apologist for capitalism must be utterly brainwashed, severely under the influence of bourgeois ideology ->
"In the end, the effect of There Is No Place for Us is stunning and bleak. Goldstone tells stories of undeniable injustice, none of them with a happy ending or a victory for the good guys. Each story is incontrovertible evidence that the American dream is a lie and that hard work, loving your family, getting good grades, or whatever other bullshit this country supposedly reveres doesn’t guarantee a safe living. In fact, they have absolutely no bearing on whether you end up OK or sleeping in your car with your three kids.
These stories are not five individually explicable outliers concerning people who were simply unfortunate; instead, they are five out of millions of similar stories. As readers conclude There Is No Place for Us, they will feel both the deeply personal impacts of the tragedies explored in the book (...) Every tragedy is unique, and yet in some respects it is not; these tragedies are everywhere, all the time, just often hidden from sight.
And what does it mean to have these stories laid out? If there were any justice, it would lead to enormous change. They are stories of people so obviously oppressed by our institutions and forces far beyond their control—people who are not merely unlucky or who have made bad choices—that the need ought to be clear. A book like this ought to be a rallying cry, the 21st-century equivalent of Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle."

8 years ago today, I was #homeless, living out of the back of a pickup truck topped with a cap that I'd found abandoned in the woods (without a rear window, so I covered it with plastic sheeting attached with Gorilla Tape, tarp clips, and bungee cords). The only advantage to this, other than temporarily not paying rent, was that on weekends, I could drive up into the Green Mountain National Forest and camp for free, 2000 feet elevation above my town, where the temperatures were much cooler.

Every #flashbang could instead be a #meal for a poor #kid.
Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a #homeless vet.
Every “less-than-lethal” #bullet pulled from a journalist’s eye could be already needed #healthcare for anyone else.
All of this is a choice.

Despite a $1.3 billion investment that Portland said would improve the safety of homeless people, deaths in Multnomah County have quadrupled — from 113 in 2019 to more than 450 in 2023.
