Paragraph four reads like a "flip-side of the coin" demonstration of why writing about newsworthy women's clothing is sexist.

Of course the deeper message is that societal expectations re: clothing are messed up.

While Adams putting on a somber suit could be only insincere pandering, it would still be a nice gesture. Even if the kids were only wounded. The mayor doesn't get a casual Saturday when Portland's as messed up as it is. Not even on his birthday.

Good catch Sarah Mirk!

Who cares what he was wearing? Was this a fashion show as well?

Hey, at least his pants weren't unzipped/undone...

Re: Investigation...When my cousin was murdered in a drive-by shooting, his young cousin came forward to testify and was then in turn killed...

Do the Portland Police do anything to protect those that come forward?

Graham told those kids to get off his lawn. Next time I bet they listen.

@Wubbles - I mentioned Adams' outfit for the reason Sexmachinealpha pointed out: This was an incident that caught a lot of people off guard on the holiday weekend, including the mayor. That he turned up on his birthday, on a long weekend when he clearly would have preferred lounging in loafers and taking a break, is worth noting.
