Walmart is getting out of Portland, Oregon because of theft and lack of law enforcement. This city is a prime example of Democrat Party poverty creation, poverty perpetuation, & political control. There is always a problem, someone else to blame, and false social concerns over those impacted by the economic fallout.

The NY Post points out the reason for the closures:



The Portland demopravda media reports on Walmart’s decision in dry business rationales divorced from the main reason: crime. They already focus on the impact of the closures on the needy and ignore why access to needed goods & services breaks down to begin with.

Portland is the home of Antifa, and run by the far left - whether it's because of crime or because Walmart is not popular in super far left areas, (paying more at Target is popular with the left) it is telling that every single Walmart within Portland City limits is now closed.

It is not just walmart if I'm not mistaken. I have read in other news some time back that most retails in Portland are shuttered permanently due to high crime rate as well. The problem is the police won't act because the state prosecutor won't bother most of the times. This level of shoplifting and the non-enforcement of law will never be healthy for one in the long run.

Drug addiction is going through the roof and addicts are desperate to get anything they can to sell for drug money or barter for drugs. That includes all the porch pirating too. I see them everywhere nowadays. It's like a whole society.

The people responsible are just getting slapped on the back of the hand. Everyone just wants in on the payola. I had a son die from Oxycontin but I was not qualified for the settlement because he had other drugs in his system. Just another legal loophole so the attorneys can keep more money for themselves. Even if they had given me a dollar, but that would have been an admission of guilt for what they did. He is in heaven now so everything is fine.

Shoplifters close down a lot of businesses. They run off of a very narrow profit margin so they cannot afford the loss. They have to go out of business. They run a shopping service for drug dealers who can get stuff for fifty cents on the dollar. I have been told that prostitutes work for a lot less if you pay them in drugs because their pimps keep most of their money and drugs is about all they get out of it anyways.

Welcome to Biden's America!
How is Biden responsible for Oregon law enforcement and how a business does business in a particular state? I thought you conservatives were all for states rights...

There is no "Democrat party". The name of it is the Democratic Party.

Biden, just like the liberal politicians in Oregon are too soft on crime and are not supportive enough of law enforcement and this is the end result. Just saying. It wasn't the right who started all this defund the police garbage. That garbage started under Biden's watch.

No. Portland is home to Rose City Antifa, only, and is not run by the far left - they run themselves.

It seems as though the right have now abandoned defending the police, at least on the national level.

And yes, I believe you actually meant "defund" not "defend". But isn't it the right who call for defunding the national police, aka the FBI?

The same party philosophy that permeates most places where crime is rampant. Like in The City of “brotherly love” in Pa.




They neglect law and order then cry crocodile tears over underserved communities of their own creation then blame others.

It is a nothing party whatever it is designated as.

I always hear how much they allegedly care for people but in my local area ( Northeast Pa. US)they have done things like this:


Or on the environment:

Hmmm... I was in a meeting at the hospital where I work and we had a cop in the meeting get insulted that the security camera sales representative referred to him as "Security" and said and I quote you, "I'm not security, I'm a cop and I have the right to shoot and kill you if I want and no one can stop me"?

So that's the kind of police officer I get to deal with on a daily basis.

That's sad and sounds like one of those bad apples I mentioned earlier. We cannot tolerate police brutality in America, but at the same time, we cannot defund the police and allow lawlessness to take root either. We need to keep things in balance.

I agree, but when it comes to defunding the police, I'm in support of changing how our emergency responders deal with things. For example, there is a case of a mentally unstable man who was killed by the police in a five hour stand-off with a guy with a knife. The police commander in charge of the situation refused to allow mental health professionals to try to talk the man down. I'll have to find the article again.
