US Portland, Oregon Megathread - Tales from The Rose City

Didn't see much of a thread regarding all the fine antics of Portland and the people who live there, so I thought to make one.

Lesbian bar shuts down one week after opening because they weren't woke enough​

Doc Marie’s is a lesbian bar that opened on July 1st of this year with the hope of bringing more inclusivity to the city of Portland. But just one week after their grand opening they were forced to shut down because of complaints that the bar was not a “safe space.” Similar to the story I wrote a few weeks ago about the queer-owned cafe in Philadelphia that was shut down by employees for not being woke enough, Doc Marie’s was cannibalized by the woke mob.

The crowd on opening day was huge. One woman said that the line for entry on opening night was “wrapped around the block” with “literally 200 lesbians” waiting to get in.


But the excitement about a new progressive hangout dissipated quickly. Within days, Doc Marie’s found itself on the receiving end of accusations of not being inclusive enough for trans people and people of color. Despite mask mandates being lifted in Portland, patrons accused the bar of not implementing enough COVID safety measures. Patrons also claimed that Doc Marie’s had “culturally appropriative art” on the walls.
One TikToker, who says she attended the grand opening, breaks down the accusations against the bar:


Employees of Doc Marie’s created an Instagram page to echo these concerns. They claimed that the owners weren’t proactive enough in creating a safe space and accused the owners of racism. The employees also demanded that the bar host “free opportunities for education” for the community.

Eventually, the employees demanded the owners relinquish ownership of the bar and hand the business to them. The owners were given a “24-hour deadline” to adhere to the ludicrous demands.

Just five days after opening, the bar announced on July 6th that they had to close temporarily in order to address the cries from the woke mob for a “safe and inclusive space.”

Surrendering to the woke mob doesn’t appear to be working out in Doc Marie’s favor, as the bar remains closed with no public plan to reopen.

Raises the question of where a pack of wild dogs came from, but there are coyotes and other things I wouldn't want to deal with. Plus seeing how many bums have dogs with them, I wouldn't be surprised if enough of them wandered off when their owners passed out.

I wonder if we’re going to get a Cujo IRL one of these days thanks to these roaming dogs.

Dogs and fire are the two big present dangers from hobos

the lurking danger is disease, the resources that are poured endlessly into the care and feeding of hobos keeps disease at bay. for now.

the lurking danger is disease, the resources that are poured endlessly into the care and feeding of hobos keeps disease at bay. for now.

We badly need hobo long-term care facilities.

Hobo on street, gradually becomes less competent with age and abuse, gradually becomes sicker from untreated chronicities. Repeated admissions to acute care and later lost to follow-up, or AMAs. Until.

Hobo admitted, well-meaning provider collapses the waveform by ordering a SLUMS. Or hobo is hemiplegic and finally unable to physically AMA. Now the hobo is trapped in a system they never wanted to be part of, camping in an acute care bed for six weeks minimum. Maybe they're unable to communicate or post-anoxic injury. Who is next of kin? What were their wishes?

Hobo stays in acute bed awaiting Medicare intake and then awaiting a LTC that'll take them. Case Management has to spend a few more days arguing that yes, they came in hot for meth, but they can't move their arms now and none of their friends have come by, so they're unlikely to use at the LTC in the room next to Granny Agnes.

Meanwhile CVAs, MIs, and boring but toilet-requiring GIBs are boarding in the ED.

Someone needs to stab-proof some legal students and go get hobos to fill out advance directives; maybe add a starry-eyed NP and get them POLSTs.

I'm not saying Canadian Healthcare, but if a hobo AMAs from a hospital every single time he's found down and brought in because he legally has to be transported, that seems like a clear indication that the aphasic version of that hobo would also not want to be in the hospital, the SNF, the LTC. Get them to put that in writing before they pop a clot or their brain fully pickles.

This should not come as a surprise but homeless drug addicts absolutely love owning shitbulls. I'm surprised there aren't more dogfights.

I wish we could just send them to an island. If they don't want to opt into society that's fine, but you shouldn't get to hang out biting societies teat for hand outs all day if you hate it so much. They should have to go somewhere else.

When I get a chance this is the point I make to the bleeding hearts around me. These people don't want to follow the rules of society but they can't survive without the people who do. It's like they're embarrassed to tell these people to join The Machine as if you're asking them to make some spirit-killing sacrifice. Yes, that one Pink Floyd song is pretty spooky, and the daily grind sucks, but there is a payoff for being a functioning citizen. Cut the grifters. Everyone should pay their dues.

I just want an Office of Hobo Sorting. Test for legal competence: incompetence means they go to a state facility and away from the more-competent hobos who steal their checks and sell them drugs. Clean, dry, dry, fed.

Competent? Get the choice of opting into the system, with treatment and job programs and a caseworker as needed. Or opt out and that includes government gibs and EMTALA. Freedom of paying nothing in and getting nothing out. Maybe sweeten the deal and make it legal for the people who've renounced civilization to build whatever shack they want on unmaintained government land (not parks or courthouse lawns).

 

[Billy Hargrove]

I’m not saying anything too groundbreaking here but what do I pay taxes for if methed-out hobos are allowed to stalk me on my way to work w no consequences? Holy shit just round the obviously chronically ill ones up and put them in treatment centers. Have random, independent reviews every so often to keep a check on abuse. Letting these people live on the streets as a menace isn’t helping anyone.

Just so I can fall asleep, this is the kind of thing I think about before going to bed after taking a trip through this one part of town that has a giant encampment.

Better idea, get those 50-something lesbians and thrice divorced hippie grandmas who do the feral cat programs to commandeer this op.

Bonus if the freshly deloused and neutered hobos get a notch in one ear.

Our new "No-Kill Homeless Shelter" has lots of people asking questions that the sign already answers.

 

[LaxerBRO]

If you somehow manage to get them to leave / defund them, what takes their place?

The goons from the Socialist Rifle Association and the John Brown Gun Club that basically murdered an unarmed Black teenager, Antonio May Jr., and enacted mob violence on the other teen with a hatchet.

Enforcement of minor issues will fall to the auxiliary security division of the Peoples Republic:

They need ear tags so we can keep track of the wanderings of these strange, migratory creatures.

Whatever happened to the old school vagabond wino bums? You know the train hopping guys who just wanted to get drunk and sleep in boxes?

They’re long gone. I missed those bums. At worst they’d smell bad and want to talk your ear off, but were generally decent enough. I didn’t mind so much giving them a few bucks here and there. All been replaced by the schizo, machete wielding methbillies screaming at the sky at 3 in the morning.

There was a shoving match and Phil is hiding in the back(lefthand side).

Looks like Phil doesn't really stand out too much in Portland, though he still stands out.

Perhaps the cruelest trick of the ultra-prog is the persistent conflation of the decent hardworking person who ended up homeless as a matter of unfortunate circumstances beyond their control, and the cracked out guy you're sharing a bus with that alternates between shitting himself and making lascivious remarks in your direction.

Imagine if you somehow through circumstance, you lost access to your primary place of residence. What would you do? You'd likely have access to friends or family, first of all. You may be a member of a toxic hate forum that kills trannies daily but you probably have at least one person that cares enough about you to put you up while you search for another place to live. But even if that failed, you might be able to quietly find shelter in your car as you get your life back in track. It'll suck ass but it'll keep you off the street and more importantly, out of the way while you figure out the next move. But even assuming that failed too, and you were absolutely forced to sleep on the sidewalk and ride public transit during the day to stay dry, you'd probably at the very least have the self-control and the wherewithal to not begin behaving like a gibbering retard.

Progs like to behave that you're one stopped paycheck from this like, happening to you man. I think the reality is that most decent people have to fall through a hell of a lot more cracks and fuck up a lot more times than the average guy that's been reduced to jacking it on the bus.
