If someone failed badly we would want to shy away from it. When people fails like our District Attorney then we have to realize this is a failure we need to really study and in so this will be a really deep dive because we are starting at the very beginning of the pile of excrement. Below is a picture from the website taken yesterday from the election website so we can all walk through this together. I would say this will be fun, but I would be wrong.

A teacher came to Oregon from Louisiana and decided to try his hand in law, and when he found out he was bad at it he continued doing it showing all of his past student that not only was he someone who did not give up but someone who believed someone could do poor work and still skate by. He is a true D.A for the city and the area. He has two kids and a wife and lives in Portland and has been so lost in space he could not see that letting criminals have endangered more then any other D.A up to this point.

I feel bad, he taught children, who looked at him and thought he had some idea about life; only to find out this man is such an abhorrent failure at his job he should be run out of town at first opportunity. Week after week we hear how he is trying to be more socially equitable and focus on lowering recidivism. Well, he did do that, but unfortunately it wasn’t an intelligent way, because hey, if people do not report the crime they cant be charged for it. He tries to show he is so much better while it comes out that he is a sexist.

“Buh you don’t like him because he tried something different and has different politics from you, you are a republican.” – Some internet idiot

I get trying something different, but he has not had one metric that goes his way, not one. As for politics, I was born in Portland and was a Democrat for most of my life before I saw what was going on and had some hard slaps of reality. Lastly, if you are so scared of differences of thought why don’t you take it way back in the history of the democrats and get some pointed hats to wear around. I am sure if the the democrats or the republicans want to do it I will stand here and call it, but unfortunately Portland has had a democratic everything for the past two terms. The County D.A and the governor are also Dems. There are good democrats, there are bad democrats, but Oregon has shit democrats. Oh and he is a sexist as well, so go choke on a salami.

I would be shocked, but first I would have to be surprised and I am more surprised that bean burritos cause gas then holier then thou politicians show they are worthless. Defense attorneys do not want to work with him in fact, so few are there that, according to him cases have to be let go. So people who have been arrested, found dead to rights, just need someone to be charged and they cannot get enough people to do so letting at least a dozen to three dozen cases a month. This is where things like failing to register for a sex offender, for false information to the police, and mind you this does not take into account the blatant political championing for his own side.

One of the biggest angering points is that if you are say part of antifa and you stab someone you get probation because he looks at those sorts of politics, but if you oppose his politics then you get max sentence, it has shown up time and again and while it is not illegal, per se, it shows that they are not above skirting lines and morals. Which would be exactly in line and now the questions is that after all of this, sending the police away, having somewhere the defense does not want to be. Letting racial and political leanings dictate punishments, it just shows that we have a problem and the sad fact about it is, that people will still support him, until they are negatively impacted by his policies. With how criminals are being let out and committing more crimes, everyone in Portland should have an axe to grind against him soon at this rate.

Stay strong.

I wanted to have this be the end-of-year post where we look back at the time and what has been done and bring some hope to the future. That is what I wanted. However, some things happen that make you feel like you got to take yourself out of whatever mood and deal with some weapons-grade stupidity.

For those who did not know, there are some problems with the D.A. of Portland. The work put forward has caused many of the city’s woes, and there have been many posts based on lousy decision-making. Things get worse for an entire year, having the area break records you do not want to break if you are in those positions, crime rate, murder rate, and gun violence are things you want to keep down.

All of this may be news to those in the offices of the city commissioners and the county district attorney. Still, I like to think it is that journalistic integrity that makes you stay, and I wrote all of that with only half of the usual sarcasm. This has to do with the D.A. specifically because I went to the county website and found the papers for the compensation or pay rates for everyone hired through them. Now, it is government, so you would expect some egregious, shocking, or brain-numbing numbers, and here is what was found.

Despite the work being a cavalcade of failure, despite it being some of the worst any D.A. has put forward in position for the county and the cost of everything up going up due to horrible financial decisions on almost every level of government. It would look bad if everyone had gotten a cost of living increase, but that would be at least understandable to a degree. Looking at the papers, you can see that it seems very much across the board there is an increase in spending.

After all, these people have to work for the government and to do it without hitting the escape hatch on life because all their work goes to very little, at least in this area. Some compensation is at least in the realm of possibility. There is one specific case thought that I would like people to look at. Now, as you can see from the pic above, the pay rates are active on July first. Looking at the difference between the two sets of paperwork, it would look really bad for someone to get a large raise, like 10% or 12 % even would be really bad.

How about a raise of almost 50%? Below is where I got the evidence, straight from the horse’s mouth

A 30k raise in the salary for some of the worst work that a D.A. has put on record. Failure so shocking it has brought down the whole county. This is someone in charge of charging people for crimes who push sentencing, and for all that was done, his office has been so soft that marshmallows look to it as a goal. A pool of water has more of a backbone than that office and the fact that with more death, more gun violence, and fewer things to charge for because now one can carry a small amount of any drug, those charges are gone. Antifa has been slapped on the wrist, often getting low bail or a misdemeanor when their records would dictate they should be in for years. Andy Ngo did a great set of explanations on that on Twitter @MrAndyNgo

Between 21-22 and 22-23, the Multnomah County D.A. has gotten a raise of almost 30k in their salary for work that would be best described as abysmal, and I wonder what they believe the reason is they earned that money.

21-22 salary table for District Attorney (D.A.) at 63k

I would like anyone to explain why that raise was a good idea, to explain it because I am lost. I would rather give that money to the waffle house employee who decided to give everyone who hopped over the counter a free sampling of hands. Most likely, she would get something done versus what we have now.

Stay Strong and Happy New Year
