You know why you are such a joke, because in your outcry for decorum & empathy you showed none. Only displaying your Mean Girls hypertribalism for the world. You're disgusted by two kids taking a selfie, really? Not the fact that people got shot...? Not the blood that was shed. Not lack of safety on our streets? No, let's all bully these seemingly middle class kids because they represent what we don't like about Portland. After all, its not like any teens have ever committed suicide after being publicly shamed right?

You want to complain of gentrification, then show up at a fucking land-use meeting, learn who your state representative is, call the mayor and tell him to stop selling out Portland to his developer friends, attend a local business association meeting. But don't bully kids just because they got caught and you didn't. Don't call out & publicly shame people because you don't understand their actions or because they act differently then you. You want to "Keep Portland Weird" then accept that taking selfies at crime scenes is weird. You want to show how open & accepting of different lifestyles, then do it. But don't be a bully one week and call yourself an ally at Pride the next.

I see why "Portland is dead to you," its because you stepped aside and let it die.
If you don't like "where Portland is headed" or "how its changed over the years" then you only have your own civic impotence to blame.
