Although I know the context well, it is funny to think about someone from another state checking this sub for the first time, seeing a video of a random black dude dancing in public, and all the comments saying to call 911.

This made me laugh so hard I had to put my phone down and walk away for a little while in an absolute giggle fit. Emojis donā€™t do it justice but my face really looked like several of the laughing/crying ones

u/ClassicallyBrained 16h ago

Literally me. For some reason Portland comes on my feed and my reaction is "What is dancing while black illegal in Portland?"

30

u/Theresbeerinthefridg 14h ago

It's not the black part. We don't dance around here. We nod along to obscure post-Indy bands. Secretly, we would love to just pump Shakira and shake what we got. But we don't do that around here.

It's an elaborate plan to get Kevin Bacon to move here and save us.

Lmao that would be me, actually (wondering wtf is happening) as I live in NC šŸ˜‚ However. I hate this motherfucker for you all! I visit Portland often and I hope to never encounter this prick lol

u/NathanArizona 16h ago

A lot of people would be proud of it

u/yessteppe 17h ago

I donā€™t think itā€™s a stretch to say that this dude is probably the most hated man in Portland.

u/2020ismybiotch 15h ago

Alongside the most hated woman- Orange Honda Fit Lady

I'm about 80% sure that guy used to live in my old apartment building at 5 MLK. Definitely saw that car.

He drives that black one when not working.

29

u/mrk2 17h ago

Dont know how he keeps that black one in such a nice shape with past ludicrous driving antics.

15

u/allislost77 17h ago

Heā€™s got an even nicer one he shows in his video having a new motor being assembled. Havenā€™t watched any videos where he drives the black one ā€œcrazyā€, just fast and not paying attentionā€¦ šŸ„ø

u/wowsharksareneat 15h ago

Wait wait waitā€¦ a rich dude acting like this? Gtfo /s

19

u/allislost77 15h ago

Itā€™s doubtful heā€™s ā€œrichā€ā€¦. From whatā€™s online, he still lives in the family house. So maybe no real bills? I donā€™t like to assume. It seems like he does get up and work most days, but is having a mental break, on drugs or trying to be a ā€œcreatorā€ā€¦or a combination.

I just hope an innocent person doesnā€™t get hurt.

u/oldsweng1 17h ago

PPB knows his name and is looking for him. Might call 911 whenever you see him to let them know where they can find him. He is a menace to all drivers so I don't consider it ratting on him.

150

u/Autistic_Plane_Guy 17h ago

Did just that. Nothing dangerous when I saw him but said this is the person who has been driving erratically and dangerously around Portland the last few weeks.

Agreed. There's a difference between narcing and removing a genuine threat to public safety.

21

u/Blackstar1886 15h ago

I don't even know what narcing is anymore. Used to be limited to looking the other way if your neighbor sold a couple bags of weed a week to friends.

What NFL jersey would actually be a surprise to see him wearing?

u/Ptown_Down Milwaukie 16h ago

Fair question.

While someone could bag on him for any team affiliation, I feel like Packers would be top 8? Let's explore:

1 Dallas Cowboys

2 NE Patriots

3 KC Chiefs

4 TB Buccaneers

5 LV Raiders

6 Seattle Seahawks

7 Miami Dolphins

8 GB Packers

Good on you for calling. Hopefully heā€™ll be on a bike next time he's spotted šŸ˜¤

u/AndyTakeaLittleSnoo N 11h ago

Fuck that. I don't want this douche bag on two wheels on my bike path. This loser needs to be a pedestrian or bus rider for lifeā€”and I barely trust him with that.

1

u/Ambsdroid 2h ago

Youā€™re right! I was giving him way too much credit

ā€¢

u/Rehd 16m ago

Agreed. He needs to be held in a medical clinic that can stabilize him until he's no longer a danger to himself or the public.

10

u/Financial_Type4828 16h ago

he does all this and then his posts on IG are just sad and likeless. no enabling, no encouragement, just out here being attention seeking and reckless for no good reason

10

u/dwellercmd 14h ago

this would be a wonderful example of enforcement: you recorded yourself committing hundreds of moving violations/illegal acts, you are now under arrest and your vehicles are impounded. Is our legal system not up to the simple task?

27

u/drbrunch 17h ago

Let PPB know they are actively looking for him. Supposedly.

u/Look__a_distraction St Johns 12h ago

That doesnā€™t really do much to quicken the investigation though. Theyā€™d have to get a warrant for his location info which would take days and by then heā€™s already moved somewhere else. Short of pulling him over or catching him at his home address thereā€™s not much that can be done to stop him. It takes an inordinate amount of resources to hunt a single person down like that. Itā€™s oxymoronic I know but itā€™s the truth.

14

u/evanthedrago 15h ago

How is it that the cops arrest a guy for shining laser at Tesla dealership but this guy who will almost certainly cause a death soon is out and about??

u/TimedogGAF 8h ago

Police are "looking for him" even though people have been reporting his antics for around a year.

What do you want to bet heā€™s got wealthy parents and thatā€™s why heā€™s not locked up.

HOLY CRAP ON A CRACKER! This dude looks SO DANGEROUS, and SCARY! The way he slowly waves his arms around in rhythm to the music with a smile on his face and relaxed posture is TERRIFYING! How dare he occupy public space and blast music during broad daylight in a business area! /s

Took a peek at your post history, you need to lighten up dude, half your comments are downvoted to oblivion. Live in a less negative mindset and mundane things like this won't bother you so much dude.

Nah. You can admit you were wrong though. Plenty of people knew what this post was about.

-5

u/dank_nuggins 11h ago

"Admit I was wrong" For attempting to stamp out a perceived injustice? Naw fam that's a hard pass, I'll never apologize for attempting to do the right thing. Also more than just me had zero context, there are several other comments, and the top comment currently is pointing out the humor in the lack of context and how bad it looks without it.

I would rather take it on the chin, its fake internet points it doesn't really matter. I think the funny part is how negatively this is being received, when I was obviously oblivious to the context. If this had been a post of random prejudice I woulda been uproariously upvoted. People are dumb lol.

u/evanthedrago 15h ago

SureĀ  but then you said "sorry not sorry" after people told you about the context.Ā

11

u/evanthedrago 15h ago

Ok sorry not sorry for a dude who is the biggest menace in Portland just because he is a POC? People like you give ammunition to fascists about DEI etc. Stand up for POC but also don't use it as blank check for horrible people.Ā
