Here’s an invite from “A Group of Smart Ass Defense Attorneys,” celebrating the passing of the city’s Drug-Free Zones:

Please join us for a drink this Friday at 5:00 PM onwards at the Rialto (529 SW 4th) as we toast the life and mourn the passing of our dear friend Portland City Ordinance Chapter 14B.20 better known by its nickname “DFZ”.

DFZ passed away on Sunday, September 30th. We thought it appropriate to gather in its favorite part of town to remember the good times we had with exclusion zones. Let’s take the time to pause to remember demurrers, motions to suppress and “totalitarian approaches to social control” (to quote Judge Marcus).

The DFZ is survived by the Sit Lie Ordinance and a general atmosphere of racial intolerance on the part of the police bureau. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to the ACLU of Oregon.
