guess who is running the city streets now? not the police, that's for sure. what's next? Time for armed citizens to take over, if only to scare these hoods.

Unfortunately, many of the Portland citizens (at least those on the Eastside) are on their own for protection. Portland is crime infested city whether it be theft, street racing, shootings, etc.
