Anatomy of a Portland scene

Influential independent journalist Kevin Dahlgren has been documenting Portland’s homeless crisis.

Above is a photo from a video clip he did of man over-dosing in the middle of Portland’s Chinatown.

These are real hurting people who need help (and not free crack-pipes).

Sadly, the backdrop shows a closed import shop, that used to a be a shining star in Portland’s Chinatown — now gone.

Here is what “Great Era” used to look like.

The media chronicles Chinatown’s decline:

Another photo clip from the video shows large scale graffiti on the second floors of the businesses.

It also has the office of the very brave Oregon Chinese Coalition which is trying very hard to build a vibrant Chinese community in Chinatown and Portland.

Here is a view of the video as seen below.

The walking dead. A new drug is being cut into fentanyl making addicts far more aggressive and terrifying. Rather than nodding out, he screamed loudly for over an hour, was chasing people, running into traffic and was trying to rip his chest open. It was horrifying. pic.twitter.com/XJzHFao3PJ

Another video from Kevin of a person overdosing on drugs in the middle of Chinatown.

The final dance of a teen girl lost to the streets forever. She wants to give special thanks to the ones that decriminalized drugs, defunded the police, released sex offenders and gave her an unlimited supply of pipes, foil and straw. They did a better job than the devil. pic.twitter.com/g0MfAXWQn2

There is even more video from Chinatown:

Crime hasn’t dropped. Police calls have dropped. This is due to the fact that if you live in a progressive city very little will be done if at all. Calling often takes hours and the homeless have a strict rule to never call the police. If all crimes were reported we would pic.twitter.com/unqAmtkyck

We extend our hearts and prayers to these addicts and homeless people downtown, and work towards a more sane and sober policy of getting these people help as opposed to dangerous government funded drug hand-outs to coddle them on the path to suicide.
