TriMet doesn't want to admit that their system is being used by criminals to move contraband around the city and deal drugs.

At least nobody was killed and hopefully this incident will be a catalyst for him to make necessary positive changes in his life going forward.

They are still a net drain on society.

I wouldn't be so hot on getting the feds involved. The current district-by-district model creates inequalities in the quality of education across locales. We want all Americans to have the same high-quality education so that our economy can be continue to be competitive.

This Drum guy had an extensive criminal record himself. We're supposed to applaud this criminal for being the judge, jury and executioner? Do any of you people that are applauding this vigilantism have details of the murdered court cases yourselves, or are you, as I suspect, reacting out of pure emotion. That's why the justice system exists - to protect others from mob rule.

Why doesn't LDS fund his campaign? That POTUS salary could bring in some big bucks for the church.
