People would probably be more willing to listen to your counter points if you weren't so rude when responding. The cursing, name calling and general poor attitude doesn't do much to foster interest in what you have to say.
If you Google Portland retail theft you can see where lots of stores have closed down or moved out of Portland. Which came hot on the heels of blm and antifa having a major presence in the city and every citty they have had a major presence in has substantially turned to shit. So it is a very fair judgement to make that call.
