Constance McCready (born Constance Averill, August 20, 1921 - December 22, 2000), was an American journalist and politician from Portland, Oregon, in the United States. She held several elected offices in Oregon during her career, including the Oregon House of Representatives, the Portland City Council, and culminating with a partial term as Portland's mayor. To date, McCready remains the last Republican to serve as mayor of the city.
@MS1971 technically you're right. But theft over $1k being a felony and Schmidt outwright saying he won't proecute misdemeanors, ergo "decriminalizing".
Im republican but it doesnt matte, I just want portland to get better now no more innocent being taken advantage of and things to protect the hard working class nowww I miss the old portland
Debs husband says I am just curious if you voted for schmidt or could tell me how he got to be the district attorney? Also I am curious what you think about certain people calling this the summer of love?
When shoplifters are going out of their way to choose Multnomah County because they are least likely to be prosecuted here, you know that something is deeply wrong!
Schmidt is the worst, Wheeler sucks too. But the PPB being understaffed is only an excuse they can use for so long. They've created an environment where nobody wants to be a cop and many good ones have left. Spending almost my entire 36 years in the nearby suburbs, im about ready to leave the state
Well, if so many jail beds are not being used then naturally the county will fund fewer and fewer beds. If you're filling 800 and have funding for 1100 then there's certainly no need to fund for 1300. It makes perfect sense. Anyhow, yes, vote Schmidt out of office.
Hard to fill the beds however if they are not prosecuting people that should be there. Maybe they would be full if the justice system was actually utilized.
@@jacobblood5721 Obviously. It's just that reduced bed funding shouldn't be represented as a problem. Reduced bed funding is one consequence of the problem.
Yup. This is what Oregonians (not all) voted for.... dummycrats are ignorant, adult children that hate their freedom of speech. Well.. just people that don't agree with them libtards and dummycrats or have a different opinion they cry and throw fits like little children after voting for what they wanted to happen and for the tyrannical governors they vote to represent us Oregonian people.
I live where it's the number one city in the nation , the world maybe on traffic fleecing income by a government nope they need more police on ground on bikes foot , horses in the back areas working crime full time robberies rapes, burglar, and they radio the traffic to the real honest traffic officers, not the retirement builders arresting pot heads and the old n slow and seize the thugs old ladies running y I u over to get to lubies first
Fine, drugs are legal. Is trespass legal? Is property crime legal? Is assault legal? Because junkies are not victims anymore. It’s time to prosecute or use violent force to deter it.
I agree with people for Portland. Mike Schmidt needs to do his job better. We need to set a presence that you do the crime you sit in jail. Logical consequences are part of life. This city is in the toilet because elected officials aren't doing a good job. Everyone is heartbroken to see the mishandling of theft, drugs and shootings. More police, more prosecution, safer streets will bring back business and home buyers.
An antifa member who stabbed and almost killed some black guy just got 3 years probation with no jail time because of this clown. Its sickening and i garuntee if he was the one stabbed he wouldn't settle for no jail time for his attacker.
Portland and Multnomah county are doing a great service by attracting all the worst people from Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington. Leave things as they are so people outside of Portland can continue to benefit from their failure.

Good they say "shit show" on TV. I am afraid to use the strong word commenting here for the fear of getting censored. But there is no polite way of describing the current situation of the city.
To claim problems are decreasing because charges are being dismissed is insane. And where or how are the needy being encouraged and trained to serve a functional purpose? Maybe that should be part of our educational system which should become a guiding force? Not like in CHINA! But, based on what appears to be current trends, totalitarian controls may be entrenched in our US Government. Wealth is calling the shots with amoral distain for the needs of all who are not of their CLASS!

Only partly true. Rod Underhill and Michael Schrunk both dealt with a lack of public defenders (and prosecutors) at times, same with Dan Satterberg up in King County, and things are far worse now than when they were in office. I'm sure John Wentworth, DA of CC would love to have more qualified public defenders in his county too, but you don't hear him whining about it, same with DA Barton in Washington county, but you don't hear them using that as an excuse for allowing crime to increase.
Go back even 10 more years and you’ll see that there were about 2300 jail beds and 5 different facilities. Give me back Bernie Guisto who told the county commissioners to pound sand, you’re just my bankers he told them. 👏👏👏
I wish the millionaires and billionaires funding "Karens For Portland" would use their money to actually improve the city and not for ads. It's bad enough when they flood the airwaves with political ads in election years. Now they are going to do it every year, every day with no real purpose.
Schmidt fails to protect the people of Portland. He’s not doing his job and real people are suffering because of it. Commercials matter…they serve a purpose
This is what happens in a state when the citizens (not all citizens) vote in tyrannical governors. Oopsies they fked up. Then they cry like little children. They hate freedom. Freedom of speech. if a legal citizen doesn't agree with all the dummycrats and libtards options they want to and do silence us on most social media platforms. Us legal citizens who know and appreciate freedom of choice and freedom of speech even if we don't agree we know that's the beauty of having our God given rights at birth. All legal Americans citizens should respect and appreciate all of our rights.
The purpose is probably to inspire someone to run against Schmidt so that there will be more prosecutions, so that the people stealing, driving under the influence and destroying public order will go behind bars and stop being a danger to people of all walks of life. That seems like a strategy for improving the city. Interestingly, a Karen is a person who complains about things that they could easily avoid or ignore and takes their frustrations out on the wrong people.
It's even better if Portland make it legal NOT to pay rent. I'll be moving to Portland if they do that. Great respect to any Mayor that can get that done. If people don't have to pay rent, they have more money to buy food and they wouldn't be stealing. Get rid of all the police. Save that money and give it to the homeless. then Portland would have less crime. Make all type of drug legal in Portland and deal drug to other cities that need them. That will generate lots of revenue for Portland
Are you serious?? Who would be paying for all of these freebies? Who decides who gets to live rent free? There's plenty of communist counties you can move to if that's what you really want... That's the dumbest comment I've read in a long time.. Thanks for the laugh!
@@telcobilly it's the same way that these right wings decide not to prosecute crime in city like Portland. So don't prosecute people when they don't pay rent. Make sense?
I think it's idiotic that people are actually getting upset over letting minor protests related charges go. ("Interfering with a police officer" who is attacking protesters is a complete BS charge.) Charges like that are typically used as a way to bully protesters and not in the interest of actual justice. I appreciate you digging into this, however. It is very easy for people to just throw around rhetoric without bothering to find out any of the facts behind it.
Complete BS huh? Did you not see what was going on downtown for months? These "peaceful protesters" were trying to go to war with the cops. That's no exaggeration. I don't know what else anyone could call call it
You can keep voting for Mike Schmidt, Ted Wheeler, Joe Biden etc etc if you want to you just don't get to complain about them to us. As for the so called "culture war" going on which political party is letting MEN use the women's bathroom, the womens Locker room, letting men take over womens sports,. Etc etc.? Desantis is the only one making a big deal out of it, the rest of us don't care about that stuff. (Except the men in the locker room)
Politics is downstream from culture. The shitty politicians in Portland, OR are a direct result of the "liberal progressive" culture SJW woketards that vote for them.

Ever since Portland decriminalized theft in stores up to 1k, the poor like me suffer.
Portland has never decriminalized shoplifting.

@@nateb4543 I think we all agree.
Met Schmidt during Jury Duty last year and I was absolutely unimpressed. He’s in way over his head and is way too politicized. He has to go.
He was only a public defender straight out of law school. He was chosen by Soros and his group. It’s happened all over in democrat cities.
Get Mike Schmits Out of Office!
I wholeheartedly agree with People for Portland. Schmidt needs to go! By the way, I am a Democrat and I think other Dems likely agree as well.
Almost none of the Democrats agree with you. You do not seem to know your party very well. If you vote for de then you’re part of the problem.

Ryan...so true ..I did.
Facts! I had a forensics officer tell me that.
Just take a look at the lack of prosecution for auto theft if you have any doubts.
Mike Schmidt is the worst mistake Portland has made in 50 years. It will take decades to recover.
1117 jail beds? Sounds like about 5 times fewer than we need
Oregon needs to put all them criminals (ALL illegal aliens) welcomed with open arms. They don't need a bed. They can sleep on the cold floor.
Portland police need a traffic unit. It's like mad max out there.

All that money given to the derelicts and it could have been used to build mental asylums or jails. I agree with the ad.
lmao "a schmidt show" is really catchy
😆 for reeeaaal - I literally laughed out loud 💀
KGW are you going to be on the right side of history or the wrong side. The ads are on point. The facts are there.
If he isn't prosecuting crimes what exactly is he doing? Seems like Mike Schmidt has worked himself out of a job.

I don’t think you understand. “Success” in Mike Schmidt’s mind does not involve prosecuting criminals.
Once the police realized that the criminals They were hauling in were released immediately!
Of course they Stopped hauling them in! what’s the point

Follow the money.
Soros and Zuckerburg 😮
Always follow the money, question everything, use critical thinking and most of all common sense. ❤️🤍💙🇺🇲💪🏼
This is all the New DA’s fault
Those two better figure out where to put these guys in jail and while they’re at it, pick up everybody that committed 50 crimes in two years
Mike Schmidt is unequivocally derelict in his duties... he absolutely must go.
Last I heard the problem was with a lack of public defenders. Did that issue ever get resolved?
