https://www.hangthecensors.com/484469.html (Natural News) A series of fatal shootings in the past week have pushed Portland’s homicides to 53 this year. This marks the most killings that the city has experienced since the early 1990s.
Since Saturday, four people of color have been gunned down in North, Northeast and Southeast Portland. The list includes 44-year old marijuana dispensary employee Michael Arthur, 23-year-old Uber driver Dhulfiqar Kareem Mseer, 53-year-old Kelley Marie Smith and 16-year-old Abdushukri Uren. Three of the shootings were the result of gang-related violence.
The increase in shooting-related deaths has mounted in an extraordinary year when the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic, social justice protests, wildfires and a contested presidential election have dominated headlines.
