Yup, what we're seeing in Portland right now is just like every other big city. Just your typical crime and violence.
Tell that to the jeweler downtown whose store was looted for over a million dollars worth of inventory. Tell that to the 2,100 employee insurance company that is reporting 20 million dollars in losses, and recently had to relocate their offices to outside the city. Tell that to all the small business owners whose stores are covered in plywood and can't operate their businesses.
What you're seeing in Portland is pure desctruction. Physically and economically.
