14 street roots A p rili, 2014 Series on East Portland brings out mix of semi-thoughts uasi readers (trolls) sound off after The Who Ogorian unveiled a 7,000 word in-depth, breaking news report ibout East Portland’s plan to integrate (yeah, right) into the rest of society. S East Portland is the new black That is all. — SteveMillerBandl974 I hate the homeless people, slugs It's time fo r East Portland to share the wealth. East Portlanders have historically* gotten everything they’ve wanted, while Portland’s irtner core continues to suffer from extreme bjight. Downtown residents deserve more. We commend the Portland Redeveloped Commission’s' strategy for the past 40-years to target the blight in downtown. By offering tax incentives and hundreds of millions of dollars to kick-start development downtown — residents in Portland’s inner core are finally being offered the same benefits East Portland has enjoyed for decades. — Downtown Developer Danny I just want to say that I blame the dirty, rotten, disgusting, horrible, ant eating homeless people. I also think that East Portland should clean up its slug problem. Slimy bastards. — Battle Ground Washington Troll673394 Blowhard pissy Portland liberals suck ass! I frankly blame Charlie “Choo-Choo” Hales, and Sam “Wanky Spanky” Adams and all of th e other communist on city council.

Portland forever! 8 — SummerLove69 Try defending new sidewalks without guns Frankly, I don’t care what happens to East Portland as long as I don’thave to pay one more cent in taxes for the stupid arts or trains or any other pet project dreamed up by Randy Leonard and the rest of the socialists on Portland City Council. I’m tired of Portlanders complaining about not having sidewalks when the government is trying to take our guns away. Try defending a sidewalk from the Russians without any guns. We’ll see who’s crying when the Chinese and Russians invade our pretty little parks. Not me. I’ll be ready. - DON’T TREAD ON ME 1776er Racial profiling in East Portland The Portland Police Bureau wanted to write and correct The Who Ogorian on its coverage of racial profiling this week.
