Update: Police Beefing up Patrols

A few weeks ago, I mentioned a shooting that took place near Portland’s light-rail line and implied that it might not be safe to ride that line, especially after dark. Someone commented that “there’s no evidence that the guy shot in the head had anything to do with MAX or transit.”

Now we have a news item that the police are going “to beef up patrols near 162nd and E. Burnside” just three blocks from where the shooting occurred.

Also, last Monday a group of 10 to 20 people were spotted assaulting a man, leaving him with “multiple facial fractures and a ruptured eardrum.” Just four hours before that, a man was shot twice near 160th and Burnside.

“Gresham police believe the fact that there is a Max stop at 162nd and East Burnside where a lot of people get on and off of trains and congregate may be one reason for the violent crime in the area” says the news article. “They also think apartment complexes that ‘aren’t careful’ about who they rent to may be partially to blame.”

Light rail and high-density housing may be partially to blame. Imagine that.

    The entire area around the MAX line from 102nd to 197th has been on a pretty steady decline since MAX opened… and becoming exponentially worse since they have been on a section-8 apartment building spree.

    The “Hood” now stretches between Stark and Glisan along the entire corridor.

    The city built the MAX where they knew the scummers would move, now they are building roach motels for the trash to live in.

    I feel sorry for the poor people who own the houses these human refuses slither by.
