US Portland, Oregon Megathread - Tales from The Rose City

Didn't see much of a thread regarding all the fine antics of Portland and the people who live there, so I thought to make one.

Lesbian bar shuts down one week after opening because they weren't woke enough​

Doc Marie’s is a lesbian bar that opened on July 1st of this year with the hope of bringing more inclusivity to the city of Portland. But just one week after their grand opening they were forced to shut down because of complaints that the bar was not a “safe space.” Similar to the story I wrote a few weeks ago about the queer-owned cafe in Philadelphia that was shut down by employees for not being woke enough, Doc Marie’s was cannibalized by the woke mob.

The crowd on opening day was huge. One woman said that the line for entry on opening night was “wrapped around the block” with “literally 200 lesbians” waiting to get in.


But the excitement about a new progressive hangout dissipated quickly. Within days, Doc Marie’s found itself on the receiving end of accusations of not being inclusive enough for trans people and people of color. Despite mask mandates being lifted in Portland, patrons accused the bar of not implementing enough COVID safety measures. Patrons also claimed that Doc Marie’s had “culturally appropriative art” on the walls.
One TikToker, who says she attended the grand opening, breaks down the accusations against the bar:


Employees of Doc Marie’s created an Instagram page to echo these concerns. They claimed that the owners weren’t proactive enough in creating a safe space and accused the owners of racism. The employees also demanded that the bar host “free opportunities for education” for the community.

Eventually, the employees demanded the owners relinquish ownership of the bar and hand the business to them. The owners were given a “24-hour deadline” to adhere to the ludicrous demands.

Just five days after opening, the bar announced on July 6th that they had to close temporarily in order to address the cries from the woke mob for a “safe and inclusive space.”

Surrendering to the woke mob doesn’t appear to be working out in Doc Marie’s favor, as the bar remains closed with no public plan to reopen.

Women who try to become men turn into dumpy cal-art looking neckbeard eunichs who can only passive-aggressively snip from the sidelines.

Maybe it's just that I live in flyover country, but every FTM I've ever met has had the style and bearing of a 14-year-old wigger.

I don’t think they realize that they get ignored by men because of second-hand embarrassment so they start to think they're badasses

Originally, Antifa groups began rallying members and supporters to join a “counter demonstration” for the “Take Action Tour” event being held at the HonkyTonk Bar. They characterized the venue’s gathering as “racist” and catering to both “fascists” as well as “white supremacists.” That event was marketed by the bar as “Hero Appreciation Day” complete with a dunk tank, bike show, eating contest, live music, bouncy house, family-friendly karaoke, free hot dogs, etc.

Man, if that's what fascism and white supremacy looks like sign me the fuck up for whatever we're calling the SS.

my friend keeps nagging me about how i don't date anyone. he fails to realize the appearance of the average portlander.
i went to the Saturday market during pride and it was a big fucking mistake. many a troon was seen and i think there was actual human feces on the side of the street considering all the homeless people

also, you are literally better off eating said human feces rather than voodoo donuts. i recommend bluestar though, they're based but always sell out

I'm so sick to death of hearing about Voodoo donuts man. It's the most overhyped tourist shit in the city. They make overpriced donuts and put candy on top of them. That's all they do. Every single TOP 10 THINGS YOU NEED TO SEE IN PDX has them on it. It is not at all a "must see" if you come to Portland. It really should not even be in your top 20 places to visit when you come. Whenever I see people waiting in line for that shit I just cringe internally. They want PDX to be LA so fucking bad. The Donuts are fine it's just the massive overselling of how good it is that makes me annoyed with it.

Blue star is Kino and imo much better then Voodoo

Also the place has extreme Bad Vibes and weird/violent shit is always going down in and around their place of business. And a lot of their edgy ideas are just disgusting, like the cough syrup donuts they got slapped by the FDA for.

Oh wow, yeah I didn't even think of that. The downtown one is in Old town the number 1 place in Portland for violent homeless people. Tons of meth down there. Nothing like the ever permeating stench of hobo piss to really get you hungry.

It's a joke (not a really funny one) but who the hell would pay money to actually eat it?

Old Town starts on the north side of Burnside and is more crack and heroin turf. The meth shit is very much centered in the area around VooDoo though, possibly *because* it's one of the few places that's open all hours.

I know what you mean about touristy eateries. Had that same talk about a different food in a different city, but I don’t wanna power level.

Funny, I’d say that Portland was the model for Austin, Texas.

Portlanders desperately try to sell off homes taken over by squatters​

"Unfortunately there are squatters on the property and seller does not have resources to remove them and is willing to negotiate the price for a buyer to take the risk of closing."

https://archive.ph/o/rncot/https://thepostmillennial.com/author/hannah-nightingale

A two bedroom, three bathroom single family home has been placed on the market in Portland’s Southeast neighborhood for $330,000.
There’s a catch though. The buyer that ultimately ends up purchasing the home will be tasked with removing squatters that have taken over the property.

The home, placed for sale on Realtor.com, features photos only of the outside of the house, which sits at 5256 SE Flavel St. These exterior photos show copious amounts of trash strewn around the backyard, as well as numerous broken cars in the driveway.

"Unfortunately there are squatters on the property and seller does not have resources to remove them and is willing to negotiate the price for a buyer to take the risk of closing," the house’s listing reads on Realtor.com.

The neighborhood has reportedly become a hub of homeless people taking advantage of vacant homes, with neighbors saying that they now live in fear for their safety.

According to KGW8, neighbors have begun barricading unused doors in their houses, investing in security systems, and buying things like baseball bats intended for self protection.

"It’s unbearable to watch your whole city become a dumpster fire," said Annette Benedetti, who lives near homes on Southeast 67th Avenue that have sat abandoned and have since had numerous homeless people move in, with RVs lining the streets.

In early July, Benedetti said that 16 homeless people had moved into the neighborhood.

"It’s a living nightmare," added Dustin Shannon, another neighbor who has lived there for 19 years. "There’s no peace of mind, there is no sleeping well at night — every little noise, I’m jumpy."

Shannon’s backyard is next to one of these Southeast Portland vacant homes, and he frequently picks up needles and trash from a path that runs behind his house, an area that he no longer lets his grandson play in.

"It just gets worse and worse by the day, more and more of them are showing up," he said. "Stolen cars are showing up, they’ve got a pile of garbage out back that is taller than me."

Both Benedetti and Shannon describe violence and shootings in the area, with limited police response due to staffing shortfalls.

"We’ve barricaded our backdoor at this point, blocked it off," said Shannon. "We’re not gun proponents, but we’ve invested in that. We’ve got a security system in place and I keep a bat at both my back and front door."

Another one of these vacant homes stands at the corner of SE Division Street and 76th Avenue, just a couple miles away from Flavel st.

This property previously had homeless people living in it, and caught fire. The owner of the property had plans to remodel the home, but the plans fell through shortly before the fire.

Now, a couple lives in the run down home, with neighbors telling KATU2 that the pair scopes the neighborhood for things to take from cars and houses.

"We feel very vulnerable here because they’re so bold. We have people coming in and out of there are nighttime thieves. The one guy had all black on. Except for his white socks that were up to here. And you could see these white socks walking up and down and that’s all you could see. That’s how bold they are," said neighbor Dennis Kelley.

Another anonymous neighbor said that her house had been broken into, with expensive guitars and a camera stolen after robbers broke in through an air conditioning unit in a vacant unit next to hers.

"These were precious items we were wanting to keep for a long time, they were very important. It’s not about the money, it’s about what they took," she said.

A group of neighbors later decided to break into vacant home to recover their belongings, and were shocked at the state of the house.

"We went in. It’s filthy. There’s human waste in the closets, there’s pornography, there’s drug paraphernalia, there’s torn out siding, doors propped against windows where the fire has burned through. (Another neighbor) found his bag, he found his wallet and a few other things, and we found a metal Columbian tin that was in my husband’s top desk. Proof that they were in there and that’s where they went after the burglary," the neighbor told KATU2.

This property has reportedly been for sale for a while, with little interest from buyers.

"So this is an ongoing issue. And I just want to have the thing razed. I want to have the property developed into something. Maybe the local Asian community or APANO can turn it into a garden or a community space or something along those lines," one neighbor said.

Another home, located at the corner of SE Division St and SE 154 Avenue, faced a similar fate, with squatters reportedly setting fire to the living room, according to a Redfin.com posting.

"Squatters caused a fire in downstairs bed and living room. Trash inside home. Squatters now removed. Sellers are selling AS-IS and price is adjusted for that. RM1-Buyer to verify zoning and schools, buyer to do due diligence. Corner lot allows for duplex and possibly triplex. Tear down and build single family, multi-family or restore current home. Major smoke damage through-out. Interior viewing with accepted offer. Ok to drive by and walk around," the posting read.

This home sold for $195,000 in November of 2021.

Another home outside of Portland and Oregon City was listed earlier this year and sold for $180,000, complete with"squatters in the barn," according to a Zillow listing.

Google Maps circa May 2019
Another one of these situations came in the form of the "Red House" an autonomous "eviction blockade."

According to the Oregonian, a developer bought the home at a foreclosure auction in 2018, but the family remained inside the home, with far-left activists barricading the property and attacking officers who attempted to clear it.

In late 2020, an apparent deal had reportedly been struck, but according to a February 2021 article by the Oregonian, that deal never materialized.

Google Maps circa October 2021
As the property lies in limbo, people in the neighborhood have reported increased cases of harassment, vandalism and threats, with some neighbors reporting finding human waste on their property.

The Kinneys, who lived at the property for decades before losing it to foreclosure for failing to pay their mortgage for a year and a half, no longer appear to be living at the property, but visit regularly.

Instead, activists and homeless people have appeared to takeover the home and the neighboring empty lot, with tents being erected.

Meanwhile, precautions are being made and you wonder if the number on the force will go down again.

Following an officer-involved shooting in Portland, Oregon on Wednesday, the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) has announced that they will be withholding the name of the officer involved over threats of doxxing and violence against them.

"PPB is currently investigating concerns related to doxing and threats to PPB members and/or their families related to recent officer-involved shootings," a statement from police said. "The investigation of possible doxing and threats raises safety concerns for officers involved in shootings."

"PPB has determined that there are credible security threats to officers involved in recent shootings and therefore, PPB is withholding the name of the involved member during the pendency of the doxing investigation. Once the investigation is completed, PPB will reassess the security threat and will release the name of the officer involved in the shooting when the threat no longer exists," the statement continued.

On Wednesday evening at around 8:17 pm, officers responded to the 100 block of SE 126th Ave for multiple reports of a man firing a gun in the front yard of the house. Police said that dispatchers could hear shots being fired in the 911 calls.


Officers at the scene requested the assistance of the Focused Intervention Team. One officer from the team shot the suspect during the incident. Paramedics attempted to administer aid, but the suspect was declared deceased at the scene.

An investigation remains ongoing, and the Bureau said that as per policy, they will conduct an internal review as part of a force of review process. This includes reviewing "the initial response, resources requested, tactics used, and post shooting actions."

The case will go before the Police Review Board, "which is composed of community members, Bureau members, and representatives from the Independent Police Review Division."

This is the end result of people promoting ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS!!! childishness. I'm not a big fan of cops either but guess what happens when you threaten, dox and attack cops just trying to do their job? They stop showing up. Now innocent people are suffering and will continue to suffer. There will be a time (if it hasn't already happened) where a woman will be being raped and because of the lack of cops it will go without consequence. Every ADFtier wannabe anarchist freak who helped make this possible and every limp wristed liberal who stood by and let this happen, fuck you. Yes, I am MATI.

Trans men are not, by and large, trying to force their way into men's locker rooms, sports leagues, and social clubs. They aren't making issues unique to men all about them. If they go to prison, they aren't demanding that they be housed with men and then assaulting them.

Yeah, because they know they're women and are incapable of competing with men.
They absolutely ARE making issues unique to men apply to them, in that they insist on talking about "mUh PeNiS".
They also aren't demanding to be housed in men's prisons because, again, women. They should be put there though, to be taught a very hard lesson.

How do you explain police officers who will look you directly in the eyes and tell you Antifa isn't real and that the real threat is the Proud Boys? The Portland police aren't like other cops and trying to support them just ends with them calling Antifa on you.
