      <![CDATA[Way to go Mercury Staff!   Wanna keep the good feelings going?  Go after the Oregonian for being a lap dog of Randy Leonard.  <br>
<br>
Truth: Leonard is on record as being not in agreement with people like me who argued the sit/lie ordinance was unconstitutional.  Fast forward to 143 and then 188 minutes into this video.  April 29th, 2009<br>
<a href="http://tinyurl.com/leonardmix2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">tinyurl.com/leonardmix2</a><br>
<br>
Then read the Oregonian misinformation that Leonard has always opposed sit lie on the grounds it violates the constitution.   June 23rd<br>
<a href="http://tinyurl.com/leonardmix" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">tinyurl.com/leonardmix</a><br>
<br>
<br>
Then email the managing editor of the Oregonian, who refused to correct their error.<br>
theresebottomly@news.oregonian.com<br>
<br>
There should be a pulitzer category for newspapers that catch other newspapers being the lapdogs of lying politicians.   When a politician speaks, aren't reporters supposed to question them?<br>
<br>
Linda Meng, the city Attorney needs to be fired for advising City Council that Sit/Lie was A-OK.   Please file a FOA to get that memo.

      <![CDATA[Why don't the conservative anti-tax type idiots complain when the City and its dumbass lawyers are so stupid they can't find a constitutional solution to this problem, costing the taxpayers tons of money?  I guess taxes are only a problem when they are successful at solving social problems...

<br>
they have also never been too busy looking for their girlfriend to turn around and apologize that they didnt have free money for some little asshole in $120 hot topic pants and then had a knife pulled on them. <br>
<br>
this was during sit-lie. sit-lie wasnt doing shit anyway. <br>

      <![CDATA[WOW! This means I can sit outside your condo now and spange? You should petition the building owner to turn the vacant restaurant in your building to become a houseless feeding kitchen!!!<br>
You should totally make the park block in front of your house a new "Dignity Village" It's being totally under utilized right now. I am sure that the Schnitzer family would donate lots of $$$ to your worthy causes. It is the "Cultural District" right? Why not celebrate ALL cultures!! AND the farmers market on Wednesdays would surely donate food! Better yet, open your living room to ALL!

      <![CDATA[Hippocrates?  did the clean & safe folks take an oath to do no harm?  Uh, ok... Riding on sidewalks in the downtown district is prohibited by ordinance.  Just like cops can run red lights, those rent-a-cops are exempt.<br>
<br>
And as far as sit-lie -- Great, another victory for the dirtbags.  I just LOVE how the Merc sticks up for the worst things about Portland.  Pedophile mayors, aggro street thieves, elitist pinhead architects, douchebag hipsters on bikes..  Jesus.  Is there any room in Portland for the regular people who pay the taxes and provide the jobs?<br>
<br>
Hopefully the cops will crack down even harder on the vermin infesting our sidewalks now that they have authority to under the disorderly conduct statute.
