Doing so might curb some of the Portland, OR posts
This is more of a suggestion and less of a complaint, but it could definitely be framed as a complaint bc the other Portland posts are getting more frequent & annoying!
This time putting his hands on a senior Black woman as she’s exiting the bus, shoving past her, saying, “Watch it, watch it,” so he can film homeless people doing nothing at the bus stop again. He’s escalating, and this is not okay. I did contact gpmetro about it.
I was the only person out walking about 20 mins ago when this creepy pick up came inching by, super slow, with some dude hanging out the window, leering at me. I’m a smallish woman. He was literally leaning out the window staring at me as they drove by. It takes a lot to creep me out but this made my stomach drop. I walked home fast figuring they’d be back, and sure enough they drove past again, this time a little less slowly. But I decided to record and post them in case they are dangerous. They’re looking for… something. Stay vigilant.
Edit: Of course I knew that posting this to Reddit would incite the incels. I’m leaving it up bc all the tomfoolery in the comments underscores exactly why posts like these need to be made. And for when that truck or its owner are implicated in a violent crime. I was kicking myself for not recording the white man hanging out the window to leer at me, but if you’ve ever been in an unsafe situation like that you understand fight, flight, or freeze. Last night I froze. But always trust your gut! I knew they’d be back looking for me, and I was right. This recording is from the safety of my home, where they couldn’t see me.
Thank you to the 100+ ppl who get it. We shouldn’t need to be explaining this shit anymore considering, ya know, all of recorded history, and how emboldened predatory people are right now.
