It’s about time!
KGW TV-8 seems to be the only news organization willing to report the truth or at least a small part of the truth.
Tonight’s broadcast KGW reported the City of Portland claiming the number of suicide calls in the city have nearly doubled since 2001.
Wow, I have been asking that subject be investigated and reported on for several years now. Perhaps the numbers got too large to sweep under the rug anymore?
But what hasn’t been reported or released by our Government Masters, is that Portland is likely getting off light as the numbers from elsewhere around the state are much higher. Imagine what it’s like in Prineville or Medford.
And as usual the story includes comment by mental health professionals who as usual tell how we are not doing enough or spending enough on Government programs to stem the increase.
And as usual there is nothing said about who are these people that choose to off themselves or what is driving them to do it. So let me guess. I’ll bet most are Caucasian males, ages between 25 and 45, lack advanced educations, have mostly worked in labor intensive industries, have been unemployed for a considerable time, are unable to find any work of any kind for any wage, have a family that would more easily gain government assistance if his wife was a widow and has no hope of ever finding any job as Illegal Aliens have filled every lower wage or entry level job available that otherwise he might have enjoyed.
So here we are, with every day learning of more floaters being found in the rivers, seeing more news reports of center-line dancers being found flat on the freeway after kissing a Freightliner’s grille or Amtrak passengers being given bus rides after some lost soul tries to bear-hug a moving locomotive. It could be worse as they don’t tell us about the dude that swallowed a bottle of his mother-in-laws pain pills or sucked on a 12ga shotgun barrel or did a one-time rope trick in his parents garage.
Meanwhile, stay tuned as there might be more at 11:00.
