@skyisreallyhigh3333 I worked in retail and I KNOW some of those "desperate victims". They can't hold down a job. They have drug and alcohol problems. They have no sense of right and wrong. Also, calling me names and insulting me doesn't prove you right. Without the resources that large companies have, we wouldn't have the items that we take for granted. They bring it all together and then arrange for it to be sold to those who want it and do so at affordable prices. If the average person can't afford it, it doesn't get sold and the company takes the loss. You don't understand economics and you're online demeanour shows just how angry and resentful you are. You're the type of person that ran Venezuela into total bankruptcy and its people into extreme poverty. They took more than what was being produced and they can't understand the mathematics enough to know why. If there's enough people, like you, in a country, that country will degenerate into a chaotic mess. The sad part is, you'll just keep blaming everyone else.

@skyisreallyhigh3333 What did I make up? Repeating the same thing over and over doesn't make it correct. Investors spend big money to make the products that we want and people, like you, think that they should give it away. They can't. Without a return on their investment, they go broke. Then nothing gets made and no one has power tools or what ever item that thieves covet so much. It's basic economics. Nothing is free. It takes labour, machinery, know how and capital to make any product. They supply it and they make something of value. That's how wealth is created. It doesn't just exist. Power tools don't just grow on trees. It takes a lot of effort to make them. Profit is what makes this possible. No profit and they can't succeed and the products stop coming to your stores. Then there's nothing for the desperate to steal. What a great solution that is.

BS. The woman said that she would have willingly done what was needed to be code compliant. All she needed was to be informed of the issues. NO ONE had ever complained before until this Shylock showed up and tried to line her own pockets over petty violations. If a disabled person has an issue with a small business over a violation, have some integrity and inform the owner of the problem. If the owner refuses to comply, then go after them. Don't allow some huckster lawyer to go searching for violations that's never bothered anyone before, just so that lawyer can make some easy cash. Compliance can be achieved through ethical means and we don't have to resort to corruption.

@Mike-xw4gm Is that you, Jessica? How to use the system to up your bank account. It may not be ethical but it sure is profitable. Nice work.

@J.Green-Rx Where did I say that i didn't think that they should comply with codes? I never said that or even implied it. That's something that YOU just made up. These "grifters" are making bank off of your handicap and targeting ordinary people who are trying to better themselves. ONCE AGAIN, this woman said that she was willing to comply but she STILL had to pay a huge lawyers bill on top of the repairs. Why should this ambulance chaser get rich off of people, like yourself. I suppose that you think that it's okay to get your way through unethical means, but I don't think that the leeches, of society, should be encouraged to fleece people who didn't even realise that these changes had to be made. No one said that you should go all over looking for code violations. All you have to do is notice them when you're out and about and bring it to the attention of the business owners. If every handicapped persons did that you wouldn't have to scam good, honest people. It would be done through ethical and honest means.....which of course means nothing to those without integrity.

It's not just the littering. They were violent and threatening. They closed down a food cart across the street that a family had set up to use the proceeds to help the homeless in Portland. They thought that the 21 year young woman was laughing at her and intimidated customers, hurled abuse at her customers and threatened the young woman with violence. They're a bunch of useless, self aggrandising jerks that produce nothing of value and do nothing to make life better for anyone. Narcissistic little children. Check this out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEfvt-xr2no

@KrustyKlown Not according to the law. You use any force to restrain a child, you're open to charges of assault. You could lose your job and might even face a lawsuit. A teacher is not allowed to use any kind of force, even to defend themselves. All the teacher can do is to evacuate the class so innocent kids don't get hurt.

@thesublimelight We just found one of the brilliant artists of Portland. Which "ACAB" is your work? I'm thinking of commissioning a painting and I need someone with talent.

"For the 63rd night in a row, demonstrators arrived in downtown Portland to protest racism, police violence and the presence of federal officers." First of all, they're rioters. They come with weapons and they use them. Second, I'm wondering just who it is that is insisting that racism is a good thing. Almost everyone is against racism. Then there's the police violence. Who is approaching who, here. Are these officers going door to door, attacking these rioters or are the rioters going to a specific location to seek the officers out to confront them. Who is the aggressor here? Then the most damnedest and erroneous thing you say. They're there to protest the presence of Federal officers. They were protesting long before the Feds showed up. You want me to subscribe to you? Good luck with that. Anyone that would rationalise the violence of this mob, the destructive and hate that these rioters exude, will never get a subscription from me. I stand for the ideas of truth, goodwill and understanding. I don't see that in the video that you're showing or your attitudes when showing these events.

@skyisreallyhigh3333 When you steal, you're assaulting those who own the items stolen, but also the legitimate customers, who must pay higher prices so they can stay in business. They're assaulting ALL of us. I've been an employee in a retail situation. That means that I represent the company. As a company rep, I will not allow you to steal from US, the company, as well as from the customers who must now pay higher prices. Also, the insurance providers will be forced to raise their higher premiums, upping the cost to the retailer, who passes it on to YOU....the customer. It's as if you know nothing about how an economy works and have no sense of right or wrong...no morality. Either that, or you're one of those who are doing the stealing and don't want the gravy train to stop. Either way, you're a detriment to our society.

@skyisreallyhigh3333 So the retail stores are throwing items, into the landfill, that is in so much demand that thieves target those items to steal. That makes a LOT of sense. LOL. But the store doesn't want it because they can't sell it. That's about as dumb as it gets. That last comment, about business owners being the thieves, explains all I need to know about you. You're a resentful, envious and angry person, who thinks that the world owes you something. You're just proven that you don't have a clue about a healthy economy or even how it works in nature. You lack morality or a sense of ethics. If a store decides to rid itself of inventory that they can't sell, that's their right. The stuff belongs to them, NOT you. Leave a country to the likes of you and that will destroy the country.

You support the peaceful protests? Why? What is there to protest? Justice for Floyd? George Floyd was killed by a brutal cop. He's under arrest, charged with murder, along with the 3 officers with him. You can't fix that by protesting. Maybe it's police brutality. Floyd was killed by a city cop in a city that's been Democrat for decades. That Democrat city council voted to abolish their police force. Maybe, if they'd done their job, YEARS ago, they could have cleaned up their police department. That was their responsibility. They're the city council and the police department answers to them. I know this to be true because if it wasn't that way, the council wouldn't be able to abolish them. It's as much, maybe even MORE, the fault of the elected governing body of Minneapolis that Floyd died. Yet....they're getting off Scott free.

A lot of platitudes from the attorney and a lot of flat out BS from that one reporter. The change has to come from the people of Portland...yeah.....right. What if they don't want to change? What then? Does this go on forever? Because it's been going on for a couple of years now. The MSM and the Democrats have been ignoring and denying it for just as long.

Social justice....what the hell is that, anyway? Smashing private property....is that social justice? I'll never respect that term until the people wielding that term learn to respect the rights of others. Besides, it's not social justice. It's JUSTICE. Don't pretend that you have some insight into some kind of justice reserved just for yourselves. It's either just, or it's not.
