    That is nice and all but WTF does it have to do with anything? And nothing says entitlement more than "my beach house".

    ^^ Hey, go easy on him. I feel bad for Bobby Stainless. His daddy’s trust fund doesn’t give him enough for a private island so he’s got to settle for a beach house.

    Not just anyone can lay claim to owning an island. In that case we are talking Most Interesting Man in the World level shit.

    It's on an island. Not private though.

    WTF does any of his post have to do with anything? I figured we just started shooting the shit.

    The 911 terrorists spent quite a bit of quality time in flight school learning how to crash airliners in to buildings too. Makes sense that mass shooters would want to be well trained in the workings of their weapons of death before going on their rampage..

    This morning's paper:
    "Portland police shot and killed a man Wednesday night after multiple residents along the 100 block of Southeast 126th Avenue called 911 to report a neighbor firing gunshots in his driveway, according to multiple residents."

    Portland police were first called to the block at 8:19 p.m. on a report of a person firing a gun, according to Portland Officer David Baer, a police spokesman. He confirmed the police shooting resulted in a man’s death at the scene.

    Both officers from East Precinct and the bureau’s Focused Intervention Team, formed at the start of the year to target gun violence, responded to the scene.

    An officer from the Focused Intervention Team fatally shot the man, police said.

    At least 29 police were at the scene two hours later, with investigators still en route. A police mobile command center also was set up on the street.

    Wednesday night’s encounter marked the third police shooting in four days, which is unprecedented in the city of Portland at a time of increased overall gun violence and homicides in the city. It was the second fatal Portland police shooting since Sunday, both occurring in Southeast Portland. And it’s the second shooting this year involving a member of the Focused Intervention Team.

    “The level of violence officers have been responding to is unprecedented,” said Assistant Chief Jami Resch, who responded to the scene.
    https://www.oregonlive.com/crime/202...this-week.html

    "Wednesday night’s fatality marks the 54th homicide in Portland so far this year, compared to 60 at this time last year."


    IMHO, this isn't a data point that crime is up in my city. It is a signal that guns are increasingly used in situations they didn't used to be.

    What is the Focused Intervention Team? Quick read kinda infers it’s just another incarnation of SWAT.

    Not sure I'd call it special weapons & tactics, as much as just a group in PPB dedicated to gun violence response
    They haven't been immediately successful, but maybe they start figuring it out this year & make a dent next year

    Carl Roy Webb Boards II, 42. decided he'd rather kill the cop than risk going to jail.

    Cop, 24, shot and killed during traffic stop

    It's WAY too easy for people like this to get guns. How do we change that??
