Well, d'uh. Next time call Antifa. [OregonLive] Henry Kirim had ducked out of his Southeast Portland apartment to search his car for a missing bank card when a strange man rushed into his ground-floor unit, closed the door and locked it.
Kirim fumbled for his house key, thankful he had it on the same ring as his car key, and raced to open his apartment door.
"I was so scared," he said.
The next 10 minutes unfolded in a blur on Aug. 22. The stranger grabbed a kitchen knife. Kirim’s petrified son managed to dart out of the apartment. Kirim followed and started yelling for neighbors to help. When the man eventually fled, several residents gave chase and cornered him nearby. For some reason, the residents are not described as "vigilantes."
It took police more than 90 minutes to arrive. Just before an officer finally appeared, the suspect ran off. More than a half-dozen calls had come into 911 over the course of the bizarre ordeal. But that apparently didn’t speed the response.
The wait confounded and angered Kirim and his neighbors. They wondered what it would take for police to respond if not an armed man placing a child in jeopardy.
Police were responding at the same time to a tactical call in East Precinct that required a special team and also were monitoring what turned out to be a violent clash between dueling protesters in downtown as well as preparing for another nightly protest.
Those bloody-minded anarcho-communists ruin everything for everybody. On purpose — something you might want to remember when you and your neighbours go to vote in November, Mr. Kirim.

They vote for the Devil then complain when he eats their lunch and children.

An example why all elected positions should have 'none of the above' which if it gets a plurality of votes requires a new election without any of the candidates on the original ballot within 30 days.

^ And for a laugh riot, watch the same people who want vote-by-mail and ballot harvesting come up with 27,000 reasons in three seconds why P2K's idea is a bad one.

Yes, yes. They will avidly vote for the next Hitler or Stalin in the name of avoiding the same.

Well, y'know, Hitler had all the answers. So'd Stalin. So'd Kaiser Bill. So'd Mussolini. For that matter, so'd Napoleon Bonaparte, Juan Peron, Joe Mobutu, pick one, or name yer own... If they had all the answers, that meant you didn't have to waste any effort on thought.

An oversight, I'm sure; no doubt the presstitutes will rectify that soon - or be fired. >:-(

Perhaps this was considered a 'friendly' neighborhood?

[USNews] WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has bestowed a top U.S. honor on Kuwait's ruling emir, who has played a central role in resolving a yearslong four-nation boycott of Qatar and is now ill and receiving treatment in the U.S., the White House said Friday.
Trump awarded the Legion of Merit to Kuwait’s Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah, who, along with Oman, has sought dialog to end the dispute that has torn apart the Gulf Cooperation Council.
Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have been part of the boycott that’s targeted fellow GCC member Qatar since June 2017. Egypt also joined the boycott, which saw nations close their airspace and borders to Qatar.
"A leader in the Middle East for decades, the emir has been a truly unwavering friend and partner to the United States," the White House said in a statement. "The emir is also an unparalleled diplomat, having served as his nation’s foreign minister for 40 years. His tireless mediation of disputes in the Middle East has bridged divides under the most challenging circumstances."
The Legion of Merit is a rarely awarded decoration that can only be bestowed by the president, typically to chiefs of state or heads of government of other countries. The honor was last awarded in 1991.
The emir’s eldest son, Sheikh Nasser bin Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah of the State of Kuwait, was to accept the award on behalf of the emir in a private ceremony.
In July, Sheikh Sabah flew across the world in a U.S. Air Force C-17 flying hospital, just days after undergoing an unspecified surgery at home. The dramatic airlift to the Mayo Clinic reflected the close ties between the two nations but also raised concerns over the ruler’s medical condition. The clinic declined to discuss his condition on Friday.
[JPost] - Turkish-backed extremists have committed a litany of abuses in northern Syria after Ankara illegally occupied Afrin, Jarabulus, Idlib and Tel Abyad over the last three years. The allegations have gained exposure in recent years and are not part of a UN Human Rights Council biannual report. This is the year with the clearest and most comprehensive evidence of the massive abuses that run contrary to international humanitarian law, reports indicate. "It's a Caliphate. These are the regional sports. It's what we do. Don't judge."
The abuses have been directed against women and children, and primarily target minorities such as Yazidis, Kurds and Christians, many of whom have been ethnically-cleansed from the Turkish occupied areas of Syria. A report at Al-Monitor by Amberin Zaman tells of a boy who was kidnapped by the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army in 2019. "While detained, both Syrian National Army members and Turkish-speaking officials dressed in military fatigues were present."
The Netherlands on Friday launched a bid to hold Syria responsible under international law for “gross human rights violations”, in a case that could end up in the UN’s top court.https://t.co/7X8AtURzjZ

Good luck with that! I look forward to a kinder, gentler world where gross violations of human rights are replaced by genteel violations of human rights.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
