Badass mom at a local school interrupts a group of junkies doing narcotics in front of the school. When she asks them to leave, the one on the bike approaches her and takes several swings at her. She maces him. The group ends up leaving.

The man who came after her was busted a few days prior, brandishing a knife. The cops took him to the Deflection Center, where he immediately left.

Every time local politicians gaslight you about how “Portland is fine,” they should have to watch these dozen or so business owners speak emotionally this Wednesday at city council about what they are exposed to just trying to keep their businesses open. Worth 15 min of your time
