Portland's "Justice System"

OK, I've been contemplating this for a long time, but haven't ever done it for a number of reasons. But, I can't take it anymore. I plan to post online for anyone to read, and to attempt to keep myself sane, the daily barrage of bad decisions that are made in the city of Portland from the police level, through the DAs office, to the judges and especially the juries. I won't name names, I have too much respect for all the people just mentioned. But if the public knew the crap that went on day to day, the amount of dangerous people who do dangerous things who are given a free pass everyday, they would fucking lose it. I know I'm about to. And quite frankly, I need to vent.

Todays experience:

Fuck. I can't give the details without keeping everyone unanonymous. To hell with it. Just so everyone knows, a burglar trying to force his way into a family's home, a gangster who had a loaded, stolen gun, and his girlfriend who tried to outrun the police to give the gangster a chance to toss the gun, all WALKED, NO PUNISHMENT, NO JUSTICE (either by DAs or juries making horrible decisions). Happens everyday. The next time you read in the paper that someone got beaten, raped, killed... know that, more than likely, the "system" already could have acted to prevent it but failed.
