Comments by "GH1618" (@GH-oi2jf) on "KGW News" channel.

  1. Oregon’s inability to deal with riots is pathetic.
    45
  2. After nearly full live coverage on Monday, we now get only brief excerpts. Why not stream the whole trial if video from the courtroom is available?
    27
  3. If Reinoehl thought the shooting was legitimate self-defense, why didn’t he just turn himself in and defend it in court? For one thing, he was a fugitive on other charges in another jurisdiction.
    23
  4. He is responsible, even if drugs were involved.
    14
  5. Evan Sheehan — Why would it matter? Everyone is some color.
    13
  6. These acts of vandalism are an outrage. The Lincoln statue is one of the best of President Lincoln anywhere. The people who did this are in the same class with Taliban who destroyed Buddhist artifacts.
    13
  7. It’s a strange system, but switching to a more conventional system isn’t enough to fix Portland government. The people must elect competent officials.
    12
  8. Homelessness should be addressed at the county level.
    11
  9. It is. There are druggies everywhere. Not merely pot, but meth. Meth makes people crazy. Along with meth comes crime, people breaking into things to try to feed their habit.
    11
  10. Of course it has. I have seen a junkie shooting up in broad daylight in his campsite on a downtown Portland street.
    11
  11. Even if he gets light treatment on the criminal charges, I expect he will lose his commercial pilot’s license, hence his livlihood. That is huge.
    10
  12. Mr. Feith seems to be speculating when he talks about the possibility the plug needs to be re-engineered. So far, I have seen nothing to suggest that there is anything wrong with the design.
    9
  13. The bolts have a castle nut with a pin. That is secure against vibration and shock, when properly installed.
    9
  14. I think the prosecution will be ok without Jacobs, but it seems to me the jury is capable of deciding the credibility of witnesses. They do that routinely.
    7
  15. The court has the responsibility to make sure that they are trying the right person, but they don’t have to prove it to you.
    7
  16. He certainly ought to be denied bail. Shooting firearms in the city is a threat to public safety. I hope he gets a stiff sentence, but I doubt he will. Multnomah County built a multimillion dollar jail several years ago but couldn't figure out what to do with it, so they sold it for pennies on the dollar.
    6
  17. Why disgusted? This video is of benefit to the beachgoing public. There was nothing he could have done for her.
    6
  18. Dumb idea. They need an actual police force, not just security guards.
    5
  19. I saw a lot of “Betsy” signs on my recent trip to Oregon. I hope she wins.
    5
  20. Badchopsuey — The U. S. Marshals were there because he crossed state lines to avoid prosecution.
    5
  21. Three years now, and she wants another year delay. That’s excessive. Can’t the court just require that jurors must be fully vaccinated? Get on with it.
    5
  22. ChrisNVegas — No, this nonsense has nothing to do with the presidential election Fascism is not the answer to anarchy.
    4
  23. Why is this taking so long to get to trial? It did not start in September.
    4
  24. No, this is the sort of crime that can happen anywhere. It has nothing to with partisan politics.
    4
  25. Good presentation from the pilot's point of view, but this video does not cover the one thing I wanted to know, in light of the Baltimore disaster: Are the fenders at the main supports of the Astoria bridge adequate to protect the bridge from a wayward ship?
    4
  26. He has been described as a 737 pilot, so Alaska.
    4
  27. Gary Stalick — Climate change has created the conditions for wildfires, regardless of the cause of the fire. We have always had wildfires, but fire season is longer than it once was and extended draught makes fires more likely to start.
    4
  28. That was not a "sneaker wave." The term is so often misused. King tides are extreme tides. They don't need any help from rare "sneaker" waves to be dangerous.
    4
  29. No. That is the charge that fits in Oregon. Look it up.
    4
  30. Yet Multnomah County built a new jail a few years ago and couldn’t figure out what to do ith it.
    4
  31. Finally going to trial, April 2022. Convicted, May 2022.
    4
  32. Neither party has a monopoly on this sort of thing.
    4
  33. They are predicted. The tides are published in a small book which can be found in many places at the beach.
    4
  34. I remember when Lloyd Center was a nice place in the Christmas season. The concourse and skating rink open to the outside air. The air door at Meier and Frank.
    3
  35. On the contrary, marijuana and stupidity go hand in hand. Of course not all who use it are stupid, or criminal, but a lot of habitual users are. They are people who don't want to grow up and assume adult responsibilities.
    3
  36.  @somewhereinbetwixt  — Every use of firearms by police is reviewed. It is probably routine for every fatal shooting by OSP to be reviewed by a grand jury.
    3
  37. How? Portland elected Mayor Wheeler and Oregon elected Governor Brown and AG Rosenblum. Multnomah County built a new jail and couldn’t figure out what to do with it. It’s basic. Portland needs to arrest miscreants and lock them up, and the State needs to send in the National Guard when necessary to back up the police.
    3
  38. I pronounce “Baker City,” “Baker,” and “Rockaway Beach,” “Rockaway.” I’m an old timer.
    3
  39. They migrate individually. They come in groups only because salmon which came from the same spawning area have the same migration pattern. Within the group of salmon migrating to a oarticular river, there will be individual variation in how far up the river they move.
    3
  40. Suggested title: The Wrong Retirement Plan
    3
  41. The thumbnail for this piece wouldn’t be enough to convict her, but it sure fits, knowing now of her guilt.
    3
  42. “Not that type of person”? Nobody knows what another person will do.
    3
  43. I don't know what "Sundown Town" means, but this crowd looks to me like it is representative of St. Helens, Oregon.
    3
  44. The video does say when he had been scheduled to be released.
    3
  45. The patrol car was t-boned, Einstein.
    3
  46. I’ve seen someone shooting up in broad daylight in downtown Portland. It’s disgusting. Rampant drug use is a serious social problem and it is out of control.
    3
  47. There are no emergency brakes on a ship. That's just the way it is. Electric drive would be faster, but still not fast enough to stop the forward momentum of a ship in time. Ships should operated at bare steerageway in ports for that reason, in my opinion, at least until clear of bridge supports.
    3
  48. No, Portland is not a safe place. There have been riots for months, but the governor has not activated the National Guard once to maintain civil order. Portland is a basket case and will continue to be until there are a competent mayor and a competent governor.
    3
  49. Death penalty for catalytic converter thieves.
    3
  50. It seems that the residents on the lake formed an association to maintain the cleanliness of the lake.
    3
  51. This is basically an ad for clam guns. One of the group has a traditional clam shovel, which doesn’t even get a mention here.
    2
  52. Negasi Zuberi. Zuberi is an Arabic name, but that does not mean he is an alien. He may or may not be a citizen and may have been born in any country, including the United States. Worrying about his origin is a distraction. He will be prosecuted in exactly the same way regardless of his citizenship.
    2
  53. The state does not build the railroad bridges.
    2
  54. I wouldn’t speculate. Forensic engineers will know very soon exactly what happened.
    2
  55. No, this is just an unusually high tide. More water is coming in than usual, so the flow is stronger, and the change more rapid. It is better to keep your distance.
    2
  56. Actually, the Alaska configuration has fewer than the maximum number of seats, which is why the two emergency exits in that position are not needed. The regulations specify the number of exits based on the number of seats. The configurations with the most seats require the most emergency exits.
    2
  57. john cook — He was authorized to move aircraft on the ground.
    2
  58. This just a local tv station, not “lefty media.” People who obsess about “lefties” aren’t too bright, either.
    2
  59. By the way, you are mixing up the river pilots and the bar pilots. Nielsen is president of the river pilots. The bar pilots bring ships into Astoria and take them out, across the bar.
    2
  60. The NTSB will publish a preliminary report in due course.
    2
  61. There are many corrupt owners' associations. We need much stronger regulation, including criminal penalties in some cases.
    2
  62. Your idea is not helpful.
    2
  63. wrong
    2
  64. She hasn't been tried yet.
    2
  65. You can thank Trump voters for that.
    2
  66. Don’t bet on that.
    2
  67. The Longview bridge does not have fenders around the footings of the pylons. This is the weakness that allowed a ship to strike a pylon of the FSK bridge. That is something they ought to be thinking about.
    2
  68. Castle nuts with cotter pins are a good choice for this application. Just holding the nut in place with torque and friction would not be adequate, because the airplane experiences vibration in normal operation and shock from landings, which could cause the nut to loosen over time. A system is needed which will keep the nut in place for years, because it is in a place which can’t be accessed easily, allowing frequent inspections. A castle nut does this.
    2
  69. The door plug is a fuselage plug, because the doorway is in the fuselage. What is Mr. Feith talking about? (5:50)
    2
  70. Air is circulated and filtered on airliners. Their air is probably cleaner than the air in the terminal.
    2
  71. Does this mean Nancy Brophy will be able to get her fancy coffee drinks, or is it only in minimum security?
    2
  72. “Near Seaside” is a strange way of putting it. The cove is Seaside.
    2
  73. You think she can wave her magic wand to fix this?
    2
  74. His problem wasn't just turning his back. He should not gave been out on the rocks in the first place. He could died two ways, either by driwning or by hitting his head on a rock, had he been knocked down. People do die on the Oregon ciast by getting too close to the surf.
    2
  75. yes
    2
  76. Lauren Thayer — They aren’t going to be charged with anything, but they should be recalled.
    2
  77. In-n-Out won’t be that crazy. There will be a surge at the beginning, but it will settle down in time. They generally have enough room for their drive-through service, and it is highly efficient. Cars move through quickly, so the line should not back up into the street after the i itial surge.
    2
  78.  @hailutahistan3680 — Right. They are separate things.
    2
  79. It does have fenders around the pylon footings, though.
    2
  80. It is an optional emergency exit, because it is not required in all configurations.
    1
  81. It isn’t an excuse, but it might be an explanation.
    1
  82. It doesn’t say how long the grand jury spent on it, but would take mor3 than five seconds to watch the video.
    1
  83. This person operated all over the nation. This crime is not related to local politics.
    1
  84. No, that is not the concern of teacher's unions. Your remark is just anti-union sentiment.
    1
  85. We all know it, but cities cannot solve the problem.
    1
  86. He should get an “Alaska Airlines” shirt, but have “I survived” added to it.
    1
  87. How about giving them bus tickets for LA?
    1
  88. Foggy mountain man — This reporter isn’t making up the story. He’s presenting what various people have said about the incident and explained that he doesn’t know the details because of the many conflicts. If you know how to do a better job of reporting, why not start your own news channel?
    1
  89. Will she be gone soon?
    1
  90. You don't don't know what party they identify with, if any. Most likely, some of the grand jurors are Democrats, because jurors are not selected by party. Any independent observer of politics knows there are scandals in both major parties.
    1
  91. Typical stupid controversy.
    1
  92. Portland rarely has enough snow that it needs to be removed, so they don’t have a lot of equipment for that purpose. In such places, it is best to stay home when there is that much snow.
    1
  93. What this map shows me is that the maps put out by amateurs using pulicly available flight data, purporting to show the location of the decompression, were way off the mark.
    1
  94. Alaska is a much better company than they were a quarter century ago when they had their last crash.
    1
  95. There are many signs at beaches in Oregon explaining the dangers. Whatever system you use to inform people, there will be some who don't get the message.
    1
  96. ANIME Navit — There is nothing in this video like that. Why not put your comment on a channel which does what you are complaining about? This was just straight reporting. The presenter did not offer his own interpretation, he just reported the several conflicting versions of the incidents.
    1
  97. The bolts are split pins, in effect. They pin the door in the closed position so it can’t be lifted free of the stops, and they have a hole in them to take a cotter pin to hold a castle nut in place.
    1
  98. Powered craft may not be permitted.
    1
  99. AloftPro Films — Antifa are not Biden supporters. They are enemies of the Democratic process.
    1
  100. When did he take the mushrooms?
    1
  101. Today’s Republicans have rejected democracy. They are not fit to govern. I’m not defending Oregon’s leading Democrats, specifically Brown, Wheeler, and AG what’s her name. I hope Johnson wins.
    1
  102. NTSB at fault? How? The only authority they have is to investigate and write reports.
    1
  103. They should have voted for Betsy if they wanted better government.
    1
  104. It is Oregon. Try to keep up.
    1
  105.  @claudechase1648  — This seems to have been just one hothead with a gun. This could happen anywhere.
    1
  106. In the past year, there have been at least two A3xx emergencies for hydraulic failure. The US media don’t pay much attention to Airbus, though.
    1
  107. They actually married only a couple of years before the murder.
    1
  108. That’s my high school. I don’t want to see it turned into a dump. I hope there is some worthwhile adaptive reuse of the property, but just opening it up to homeless people in an unstructured way would be a mess.
    1
  109. School Boards are elected, not hired, so they would have to be recalled.
    1
  110.  @dw3403 — His name is Arabic. He could be from anywhere.
    1
  111. “Sex worker” is a general term which covers several specialties. Reporters use it because making a finer distinction is unimportant to the story. It is better to learn and accept the jargon of journalism, and listen to the substance of the story, than to quibble about semantics.
    1
  112. I've noticed that in Baker City they have a street marked "Broadway Street," which is redundant, as "Broadway" is a compound of "Broad Way." Being from an Oregon town which has a "Broadway," this is one of my pet peeves about sloppy nomenclature. I suppose "Baker City" has some point, to distinguish it from Baker County (as Oregon City must be distinguished from Oregon).
    1
  113. Nope. He’s going to lose his career, whatever caused it.
    1
  114. The Suez Canal had a major mishap not long ago, as I recall.
    1
  115.  @artfuldodger96 — “Skid Road.” Anyone from Seattle should know that.
    1
  116. The Astoria-Megler bridge pylons are protected by fenders. Ships routinely pass under it without tug escorts. They had better provide adequate protection. Fenders will work if they are large enough. When a ship struck the San Francisco Bay Bridge several years ago, the only damage was to the fender and the ship.
    1
  117.  @JetSkiSuper7 -- To prevent a head-on allision, you should have a large dolphin in addition to fenders.
    1
  118. If a parking fine is legal, then of course it is legal to collect it.
    1
  119. He wasn’t exactly settled. He moved around a lot.
    1
  120. No, it is not a cover-up. The NTSB normal procedure is to release only facts which are known. They have a few press conferences for important events such as this one, then they may have a preliminary report summarizing the facts of the incident in a month or two. The complete report will take a year or more, probably two years in this case. The NTSB are not a news agency. The delay is not important to their purpose, unless they discover something which requires immediate action. In that case, they have a procedure alerting agencies who need to act on it. The bridge is dominating the news because people want to know when it will be replaced.
    1
  121. Those are state charges.
    1
  122. “Door Plug” is correct, but it’s a type of door.
    1
  123. The light rail line should be combined with the bus lane, but it doesn't have to be installed initially, merely anticipated. Then Vancouver can get it when they are ready.
    1
  124. This is a local newscast. Nobody here cares about your political bs. Try somewhere else.
    1
  125. These aren't "sneaker" waves, though. It is just normal king tide behavior.
    1
  126. I will wait unti I hear it from the NTSB. I haven’t seen any missing bolts except for the four which hold the door down.
    1
  127. You don’t need the details. They are describing the nature of the crime, and those details are not important to their purpose.
    1
  128. A handgun in the home would have resolved this more efficiently.
    1
  129. No, it isn’t. The ocean has been monitored for radiation since that event. There is no significant radiation on the west coast of North America.
    1
  130. Denver645 — Because there hasn’t been a trial. Until there is a trial and a conviction, journalists will not call someone a “murderer.” That’s just the way it is done. Name-calling is not reporting and is for amateurs.
    1
  131. There have been Airbus problems as well.
    1
  132. Those bolts only prevent lifting the door. They don’t hold it against the air pressure.
    1
  133. People who are willing to their part to help get the virus under control are not holding large family gatherings this year. There are always some selfish people, though, who think enduring a minor hardship is beneath them.
    1
  134. You are just advertising your ignorance.
    1
  135. Moral: Don’t buy a rust bucket.
    1
  136. You don’t have to listen to anything.
    1
  137. The doorway is required for some configurations. It is definitely more cost-effective to have only one MAX 9 airframe.
    1
  138.  @e-curb — Alaska Airlines would not have had any reason to remove the door plug on a new plane.
    1
  139. How do you know who is a Christian? I don’t claim to be Christian. I think it was inappropriate for the governor to grant blanket clemency. An abuse of power, really. Not the first time she has abused her power.
    1
  140. John Moore — Oregon. The particular town doesn’t matter. It isn’t about the place, it’s about the people. What this woman said goes for all similarly situated.
    1
  141. The FAA sets the standard for emergency exits.
    1
  142. Did Amtrak use that bridge?
    1
  143. They aren’t talking about the water molecules.
    1
  144. The NTSB will produce a preliminary report when they are ready. You are not their first priority.
    1
  145. Republicans today are fascist. Fascism is not the answer. Vote Betsy.
    1
  146. The four bolts only hold the door down so it can’t be lifted. They are not the retention against air pressure.
    1
  147. That part of the highway just south of Seaside has been flooding forever. All they have to do is raise the roadway at least a foot. I suppose they haven’t done it because adjacent property owners would complain about having to pay to raise their access points. Several years ago they expanded the flood zone west of the highway thinking that would fix it, but obviously it wasn’t enough. The level of the Necanicum River through downtown Seaside depends on the tides, mainly. Heavy rain during spring high tides is when you can expect flooding.
    1
  148. And recalling Wheeler.
    1
  149. That is ancient history. I’m from Oregon and grew up there in the 1950s and 60s, and never heard of that part of Oregon History until much later. It is also the state of publisher George Putnam who, in his Salem Capital Journal, was denouncing the Klan in the 1920s when many others were silent.
    1
  150. It did last more than one flight, so you are clearly wrong.
    1
  151. The terms are “jerry-built” or “jury-rigged.” Often confused.
    1
  152. jungleforeva — Sheriff’s deputies don’t need to be deputized. They are already deputies. They are police.
    1
  153. It is unlikely that being armed would have helped her in this situation. A firearm is more useful for defending your home when someone is breaking in. When she was having an argument with someone she knew, she likely had no idea he might shoot her. This is a better example of how carrying a handgun can get you into trouble as well as get you out of trouble. Harpole probably thought he was carrying it for self defense.
    1
  154. Probably because it is going where I want to be.
    1
  155. It isn’t a 60-year old plane. The MAX is the fourth generation. It was introduced to service in 2017.
    1
  156. These parents care.
    1
  157. Typical ignorant tv reporter.
    1
  158. including The Aspen Grove in Astoria. What a loss!
    1
  159. Not a factor.
    1
  160. Alex Zabala — It was not shot down.
