Obviously, I agree. I went through a tough time in my life where money was hard to come by - as was paying rent, so I had to learn how to work, become incredibly resourceful and I always realized that I was close to becoming homeless. Luckily, my life totally turned around and I do what I can to help the homeless. I mean, when it comes down to it, we're all just people.

What is the crime? Are they going to find homes for these people? Or, is the plan to house them in jail? This makes me very angry!

Can't wait to show it to my out of state friends who have no idea how great it is here.

I hate that this sh*t keeps going on, rewarded...cops shooting unarmed citizens. How can anyone disagree with how wrong this is? Until it happens to you or a member of your family, I guess a whole bunch of you will continue to think these mindless killings are ok.

But. maybe instead of killing a whole bunch of innocent people, they can finally put their anger, authority and sense of superiority to good use by attempting to get rid of the gangs in Portland. We're a beautiful passive city...not this 'death a day' city we've become.

One thing I am not is a liar...nor do I want to continue this with someone who accuses me of lying. Sometimes, those who lie, think all others are liars. Maybe that's the case with you.

The products used were not made in America. That just wasn't thought of. That's why I think these builders, using US products and employees is so encouraging. If I could do it over again, of course I'd hire these people to build for me.

This is awesome. If we kept this up we would not have an economic crisis and more Americans would be employed. I applaud this effort!

I met someone who was on this board and he was so calloused about killing sea lions. Let the people who vote for the killings to be the ones who kill the sea lions and let them live with that.

As far as living in fear? Nah, fear only of meeting people who bash on the net. But, again, early, I honestly don't hate. I do respect them...but the trust is gone. Wed, 29 Feb 2012 20:29:33 +0000 http://www.katu.com/news/local/Portlanders-pack-meeting-to-sound-off-on-police-bureau-140899893.html#IDComment304846764 http://www.katu.com/news/local/Portlanders-pack-meeting-to-sound-off-on-police-bureau-140899893.html#IDComment304810735 I used to have the utmost respect for our policemen. I used to socialize may policeman and their families and they were great to me. Later, I found that most had been arrested for taking 'goods' from drug houses. I had a hard time believing that but it was true. Then the police shot the man at the mental hospital, then they shot many unarmed people, then...well, then, I don't trust most of them at all and now when I see a cop, I tend to wonder if they're going to see something in me that will make them want to shoot me!
