[Previously, at WEJB/NSU, on The Oregonian staff’s racism:
“Oregonian Commissar Betsy Hammond Tries to Get Dissenting Reader Fired from His Job.”]
The Portland Oregonian is an alleged daily newspaper whose paid employees, out of loyalty to violent black felons, consider it their solemn duty to put their readers’ lives in jeopardy, by censoring racial identifications of violent felons. Meanwhile, the Oregonian’s otherwise indifferent editors publish the same stories replete with typos my 12-year-old wouldn’t have missed. Thus, if the newspaper goes out of business, it will be no loss to the community.
Meanwhile, the rag’s readers are doing, without compensation, its reporters’ jobs, by hunting down the same police press releases, and providing the potentially life-saving information which the Oregonian’s staff deliberately withhold.
Following the Shaidle rule, I am re-publishing the real reporters—The Oregonian’s unpaid readers—first, and only then the anonymous, paid, fake “reporters.”
Thanks to reader Erostatle for the sendalong.

Incomplete reporting again.
From PPB website: "....who told police that he was riding his skateboard to work at the 33rd Avenue QFC grocery store when he was approached by three African American male teens, one of who was armed with a handgun."
Glad I can help....

They did report race in the O for about 2 weeks in August. Back to normal.
At 10:24 p.m. Sunday night, officers assigned to North Precinct responded to the report of an armed robbery of a pedestrian at Northeast 36th Avenue and Grant Place in the Grant Park neighborhood.
Officers arrived and spoke to the victim who told police that he was riding his skateboard to work at the 33rd Avenue QFC grocery store when he was approached by three African American male teens, one of who was armed with a handgun.
The victim told police that he started to run away but one of the suspects grabbed his backpack and the three suspects fled the area.
Officers checked the neighborhood and located some of the victim's property at Northeast 37th Avenue and Knott Street.
At 11:30 p.m., officers assigned to Central Precinct responded to the report of an armed robbery of a pedestrian at Southeast 20th Avenue and Oak Street in the East Buckman neighborhood.
Officers arrived and spoke to the victim who told police that she was walking home when she was confronted by an African American male who demanded she give him her property. The victim told police that two other African American males appeared and surrounded her and that one of them pulled out what she believed to be a handgun. The victim gave the suspects her phone and purse and the suspects fled the area.
The victim described one of the suspects with chin-length braids or dreads in his hair.
At 12:17 a.m., officers assigned to North Precinct responded to the report of another pedestrian robbery at Northeast 33rd Avenue and Holman Street, near Concordia University. Officers arrived and spoke with the male and female victims who told police that they were walking in the neighborhood when they were approached by three African American males in their late teens or early 20s and that one of them was armed with a handgun.
The suspects robbed the male victim of his iPhone and the female victim of her purse. The suspects then fled the area.
Robbery detectives are looking into each case for possible connections. At this point, there is no definitive information to link the cases.

Hey O, do you realize how ridiculous you look with your PC omissions of meaningful descriptions of perps? You are a news publication, damnit, report the news. Jeez....

Scary - the high school is right by my house. Also, why the incomplete description? It seems that the police report has the race/hair length included, what possible reason is there for not simply providing the information? If some idiot immediately thinks anyone with dark skin (or in other cases, white, brown, etc) is a perpetrator, their individual stupidity is their problem. However, if this is a newspaper, filtering the news for what looks like PC purposes is damning to your credibility....

"Police are trying to establish whether the three robberies are connected." Three robberies each about an hour apart with same description of three young men and one handgun. Short of an uncoerced confession, I'd just go with the odds and say they are connected.

There used to be a time when people were willing to die for their freedom. Now they all just willingly hand over their possessions to any punk who insists.
Why was nobody screaming? Why was nobody challenging these thugs?
Stop demanding your freedom and one day you'll get your wish....

We know when the big O is coy about race the perps are almost alway black, plus saying young people is another coded way of giving detail without mentioning "gasp" race. Media in general around the country plays this game. Oregonian mentions mention race sometimes, then sometimes they don't. Why are they so inconsistent about it? My guess is they don't want to mention race all the time because black people are responsible for a disproportionate amount of crime so they don't want to appear to be "picking" on black people by describing "african american" criminals too often. They don't want to be accused of racism and be considered a "racist" newspaper. On the other hand if you accuse the big O of censoring the info they can self righteously declare that "We do mention race", because yes, sometimes they do - of course, they will conveniently leave out that they often do censor race and only when the perps are black, this way they can maintain a thin veneer of legitimacy in reporting and convince themselves they have some journalistic integrity, although in truth they have none. ...

Why does the Oregonian even bother reporting from a press release if they don't list features and descriptions of the suspects?

All three were described as African American males... Even if they were Caucasian or Purple the O should provide all the details especially if they expect people to report sightings to the police number the posted....

Three pedestrians robbed in Portland in two-hour time period

Robbery detectives with the Portland Police Bureau are looking into three armed robberies of pedestrians that took place in less that [sic] two hours late Sunday and early Monday.
In all three cases, the victims were approached by three young men, one of whom appeared to be carrying a handgun. Police are trying to establish whether the three robberies are connected.
The first report came in at 10:24 p.m. The male victim said he was riding a skateboard to work at the QFC grocery store on Northeast 33rd Avenue when he was approached by three men, one holding a handgun, at Northeast 36th Avenue and Grant Place, near Grant High School. The victim said he started to run away, but one of the suspects took his backpack and all three fled.
The second incident was reported at 11:30 p.m. A a [sic] woman pedestrian said she was near the intersection of Southeast 20th Avenue and Oak Street, near Central Catholic High School, when approached by one man, who demanded her property. Two other men then appeared and the woman said they surrounded her and one pulled out what appeared to be a handgun. The victim gave them her phone and purse and they fled.
The third incident was reported at 12:17 a.m. at Northeast 33rd Avenue and Holman Street, just east of Concordia University. Two people – a male and female – were approached by three men in their late teens or early 20s. Again, one had a handgun. The three took the male's iPhone and the female's pursue and fled.
Officers found some of the first victim's property near Northeast 37th Avenue and Knott Street, but are still looking into the cases for possible connections. They asked that anyone with information contact Detective Dan McGetrick at 503-823-0464 or Dan.McGetrick@PortlandOregon.gov.
Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information, reported to Crime Stoppers, that leads to an arrest in this case, or any unsolved felony, and you can remain anonymous.

European media does the same thing, as I'm sure you're aware. Race is censored from the story, unless the offender is an ethnic (western) European. Swedish media has actually been caught lightening the pixels on the blocked-out pixelated faces in images of crime suspects, to make them appear Caucasian.
ReplyDeleteEven when European media don't completely censor the suspect's ethnicity, they use circumlocutions to mask or conceal it: Pakistanis are "Asians" (the UK); Gypsies are "Rumanian citizens" (Norway); non-Western immigrants are "of an origin other than Danish (Denmark), and so on and so forth.
A couple of things occur to me here. First, if there is something about your true ethnicity that is apparently so unpalatable that it must be disguised from the public, you probably have underlying issues as a group that aren't going to be solved by lying about who you are, or switching to a new politically-correct name every few years to call yourselves. Secondly, these circumlocutions are like the strands of hair that a bald man comes over his scalp. Everyone knows that he's bald, and he fools no one but himself.
