I'm really dispirited about this whole situation and the fact that it can only end badly.

Thankfully, the Oregonian is not representative of the media coverage I've seen nationally and there's still been a net positive effect from all of this, at least in growing awareness of wealth disparity.

By encouraging this for as long as they have the city endorsers are largely responsible for what is about to happen

@ D, They're responsible for you sharting yourself with glee?

Saying I told you so doesn't always give me glee.

Not when people are in danger.

It's not Occupy Portland's fault that city officials have let the homeless problem get out of hand. In fact Occupy Portland have underlined the incompetent administration of the mayor and city council. Don't blame Occupy for Portland's manifest problems. Moving Occupy out won't solve those problems.

I can one hundred per cent blame Occupy Portland for letting itself become the story and obscure its own message - far more so than any selective reporting or selective enforcement ever could have done.

The message was a good one, and now the image associated with it is a bunch of people who aren't actually homeless camping out in a fucking park. Just stop, already.

"If you want to take this to another level and be a lobbying entity, we're happy to work with you to see if we can find another place to organize..."
You tard, the occupiers think lobbyist are the work of the devil and responsible for the mess we are in.
Randy needs to leave council and go back to what he does best, getting drunk and beating his spouse.

Oh really Rich? Do some on the record reading. Randy can try and sue me, but he won't because it is true.

Well, and even if you're wrong he still won't. He would need to prove that you're significantly impacting his reputation as a public figure and/or making it impossible for him to make a living. For either of those things to be true, you'd need to be much less of an idiot troll that nobody gives a shit about.

Rich, so it's not ok for me to accuse Randy of being a wife beater, but it's ok for him to accuse someone else?
http://blogtown.portlandmercury.com/2007/1…

I can't find the original Oregonian article that accused Randy of wife beating, but here's a reference to it: http://www.blueoregon.com/2005/07/just_the…

Now STFUOK troll? And apparently you give a shit about it. Why don't we both agree that Randy is a worthless scum and leave it at that?

Jesus. I've looked at every link you've provided, and done a couple searches of my own. Not only can I not find any mention of his being a drunk wife beater, but the only way I can see you thinking that is your insanely poor reading comprehension. Libelous and stupid are no way to go through life, son.

I don't think Jesus can help you, it's too late.

"Libelous and stupid are no way to go through life, son."
You must be speaking from experience. You already proved you are so stupid that you can't click on the 'show' button on the BlueTards page. Would you like a screen shot of the page or should I make an instructional video for you?

If you still think I defamed the drunken wife beater, represent him and sue me.
