#10 Danielle Sered writes beautifully about a system that centers what a victim truly needs to heal, and what holding someone accountable for actions that harm others can look like. Maybe he misunderstood who the victims are here? |

#9 Schmidt was elected in May. His predecessor, Rod Underhill, retired about six months before the end of his term, but the fact is that Multinomah County voted Schmidt in, and he would doing what he's doing sooner or later. May they get it good and hard. |

#8 Schmidt was deputy DA and was promoted when the DA retired. here is a piece from an interview earlier in August -------------------- What book influenced or inspired you the most Until We Reckon: Violence, Mass Incarceration, and a Road to Repair by Danielle Sered. This is one of the best books on restorative justice that I’ve come across, about doing things differently in the criminal justice system. Danielle Sered writes beautifully about a system that centers what a victim truly needs to heal, and what holding someone accountable for actions that harm others can look like. Her work shows that we can get better public safety outcomes and serve victims of crime better by moving away from an overly punitive paradigm, and incorporating restorative practices and philosophy into our criminal justice system. |

#5 I don't see what incentive the police have to get involved against the rioters, but they have to know the DA will be rabid to prosecute any "white-supremacist vigilantes," and you know there are some cops who would like to make that pinch. |

#3 This isn't anarchy. This is the imposition of a new order and authority on the populace. IOW anarcho-tyranny. |

#2 Time to start doing what she refuses to prosecute outside her house. Just like the dems refused to prosecute the KKK, the dems refuse to prosecute their new armed wing, antifa. |
