      Agreed. $9k. Plus, a year ago we forked out $2,500 to repave the stretch of cracked city sidewalk in front of our SE Portland home. The city elm tree? ...arborist hired/paid for by us. Then I spot eyesore unregistered cars tucked around Buckman. Shovel your unwanted sofa or gas grill out onto a Boston sidewalk and the city will investigate and ticket. (No such thing here.) Mopeds riding up the sidewalk? No big deal. Street cleaning and unclogging storm drains? Nope. Ticketing citizens for not picking up the sludge in front of their property. Again, no. This town is a LAZY mess (and it's not all due to the homeless crisis). In fact, I wish someone would give me a ticket book.....I'd put some cash in Portland's coffers...hehehe

    Mr. Rice you are acting like a complete fool. By default you have the hearts and minds of any rational resident of Portland. No one wants to see anyone victimized by bad actors who exploit demonstrations. The painfully inpet police department of Portland is not educated or trained enough to prepare for a hypothetical Armageddon and actual protect and serve the individuals and businesses in the Pearl District, Alameda, Centennial, St. Johns, Goose Hollow, Humboldt, etc.
    Any responsible business owner has insurance to protect their assets and their valued patrons. Are you stating that you run a business that is not insured? Are you claiming that you must hire a contractor to board up your building subsequent to neglecting to accept responsibility that the future is unpredictable? Ok boss. Well I have good news for you. The cost of boarding up your damn business (and I'm going high end) taking into account labor, materials and the area of your business that is vulnerable:
    $2,100 with a tip. Please do tip. That'll be roughly 6 hours. Likely less; I tell ya what if my guys get you secured even faster we aren't gonna bill ya for six hours of labor. Come on Jimmy; what'd you think we were gonna charge ya goofball?
    Now you have $38,000 surplus as a result of your negligence.That's assuming there are no suits filed because something unforeseeable occurs that results in civil suit because your sign collapsed on an innocent vandal during a demonstration. You aren't going to be insured for that one either so maybe only $24,000. But if we are being honest here; and we SURE AS HELL ARE NOT; you are not simply a one trick pony. You are well connected in this city and can have a good buddy provide council. This 'woah is me' bullshit is based entirely on something that has not even happened to you is pitifully pathetic. It's disrespectful to the audience to think that they would believe a claim as ludicrous as 30-40k. We are going to get you armed security ALL weekend from ADS with back up service vehicles on either side of the street after we get you boarded up too Jimmy. We have yet get anywhere near $10,000.
    It is disrespectful to the demonstrators to blame them for those who exploit an inept police force that is simply not trained to serve and protect the Pearl District or for that matter Richmond, Humboldt, Centennial, Piedmont, Reed, etc. It's disrespectful to the businesses that HAVE actually been victimized for you to weep about what could of happen and hyperbolize the expense of installing wood. However will you feed your family? Shut the hell up. There will always be criminal actors in society. When is your business most vulnerable? When is the police department that is preparing for 'uh we dunno' going to be distracted?
    A smooth peaceful transition from one administration to another is crucial to the National Security of the United States. You lie on the news so I can only assume you have watched a bit. Did you hear that claim? Do you understand why we are vulnerable if there is tumult during the transition? Lets say the Saudi's decide to pull another 9/11, or murder another prominent American journalist or shoot 13 people at a Pensacola Naval Base.
    That's right. You're being so ridiculous, I might as well take this opportunity to attempt to raise attention to something that has actually happened time and time again without any retaliation from the United States. The point was during the vulnerable transition (this is the demonstrators; we are attempting an analogy here) when ANY country (it wont be Iran; cut that shit out; it's the Kingdom) attacks us who are we going to blame for the 30-40,000 dead!? Trump? Biden?
    No. You will blame the attacker. You spreading misinformation, pathetic appeals for sympathy for something that has not occurred and attempting to create fear in a community. What part of that do you consider healthy? Where are you working towards ‘ultimately getting together and finding a solution.’
    A solution to what? Have you begun to identify the problem? Is it singular? Is the problem simply criminals taking advantage of an excellent opportunity to do what they do best when the authorities are distracted?
    Are we going to eliminate the right to assemble because we have a police force that will employ any high school grad that can do a fucking pull up and ‘survive’ the rigors of the academy? I don’t doubt the intentions of those assembling to be peaceful. I assume most who do finish high school (commendable in a state with the 49th ranked graduation rate) and do that pull up to earn their badge and a gun.
    Hopefully our specialized 20 year old will be able to implement tactical deescalation techniques without overreacting to seeing three black men all in the same sports ot despite being raised in friggin Willsonville.
    That sounds like two groups hoping for a similar outcome yet so many of those being paid are inexperienced, uneducated, foreign to any sort of demonstration or protest and either terrified, furious or both.
    Damn you know that one store? We should dress up like those community college kids pretending they are in Berkeley and rob that place while everyone is busy. Ever consider that? Ever hear of homes being broken into when people are on vacation?
    Stop going on vacation you moron; it’s your fault. It’s not a matter of ‘them’. Not go/stop, black/white, right/wrong Jimmy. Stop using this stupid binary framework. ‘The protestors’ then there is ‘the aftermath’ well surely A is the cause of B. NO.
    Society is pretty fucking nuanced, Your an older gentlemen and I’m sure your societal view has narrowed in pretty securely by now. Let me assure you that you need insurance, you have insurance, $30-40,000 was a claim you completely pulled out of your ass, your airtime was used to only stoke or promote fear in ‘everyone’. And fuck you chief. You aren’t ‘barely getting by,’ this gig is not your only venture. That doesn’t mean I hood bad things happen to you but it doesn’t mean I want to hear you crying about your fears while misrepresenting the expense that doesn’t exist. You poor thing. Fuck you because I live in the Pearl District and the last thing I feel is fear. You don’t speak for a community. Everyone in the Pearl District is NOT fearful. A slim minority likely support much else I felt needed to be said. But I can confidently say that we are not fearful of any planed demonstration and it isn’t your job to diagnose the state of mind of 11,000 people.
    Just a journalism graduate who has experience boarding up businesses that actually have exponentially more wealth and cause for concern in the midst of the 2009 Oakland Riots in response to the murder of Oscar Grant. They made a movie...Fruitvale Station. You should stream it. It won some awards and not just because it had some black folk in it.
    Just a thought for when you ultimately ‘get together’ and resolve the singular problem that you can kumbaya away. Also consider this....NO COMMENT FROM THE MAYOR.
    THE OFFICIAL POLICE STATEMENT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS WRITTEN BY SOMEONE WITH A 7th GRADE aptitude. Fuck the silly titles like Chief of Police. Fuck hiring a Chief immediately after she is fired in Oakland over a disgusting scandal. But hey! She was a she and she was a black she! That’s hella progressive right?! Boxes checked let’s hope for the best and ignore the past!
    Your idiotic mayor who spent his entire life at elite private universities following an academic path that makes zero sense. After Stanford he quickly realized he couldn’t hang at Bank of America in SF and shamefully escaped to the East Coast to study at the not exactly renowned Columbia U. After business school most people enjoy continuing their entrepreneurial ambitions. Your fucking mayor was not a business man, he was a student. He went to Harvard to study Public Policy while living in the gritty environment of Cambridge to really get in touch with the community. Bubble boy only wanted to be on the Boston City Council; he didn’t want mayor! He’s unqualified; not entirely stupid. He finished dead last in that attempt out of 13 candidates and after over decade disconnected from Oregon, clearly expressing his preference to become a figure in Massachusetts.....he woke up and came back West. Where too many people hear Stanford, Columbia and Harvard and immediately assign a ridiculous credibility that he damn well was not receiving in Boston.
    Your Mayor is an East Coast reject who only came back West because he knew he could exploit the naïveté of Oregonians. Ted has a Treasurer die. This guy is appointed. Suddenly you have a mayor who had lived in Palo Alto, Manhattan and Cambridge. With apologies to Oswego; Oregon doesn’t have anything comparable. The only similarity is the prevalence of Caucasians (drastically different versions).
    YOUR MAYOR IS THE CHIEF OF POLICE.
    YOUR MAYOR HAD NO COMMENT
