Ovalle said a growing public perception of disorder also contributed to drug decriminalization's failure.
"You get these depictions, particularly in right-wing media of liberal cities run amok with shoplifting and drug use," he said. "Whether it's fair or not, that's the depiction Portland fell into."
In other words, it wasn’t the fact that encouraging drug use elevated crime and homelessness, it was just the right wing’s perception that caused decriminalization to fail.
What a jackass. I hope he gets robbed and stabbed by a drug addict.

This is yet another example that even when confronted with the results of their terrible beliefs and policies, these people will never admit they were stupid to begin with. It will always be conservatives fault. The only thing we can do at this point is ensure they stay put and don't spread out to red states.

I work in IT for a retail company. Our location in Portland was robbed at gunpoint twice and had the iPads stolen twice in the last year. All 8 of the iPads. Those were all separate incidents. After the 2nd robbery, the employees walked out until security was provided.
There may have been more incidents but I was personally involved in those 4 cases (replacing equipment, disabling store sysytems, etc)
It’s not a perception problem.
