The other six victims’ wounds are not life-threatening, cops said.(Snip)Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler was “heartbroken” by the “senseless” fatal shooting. “What happened early this morning is devastating. It’s tragic and it’s senseless,” Wheeler said at a press conference after the shooting,

Rather amazing coming from the guy who has presided over 14 months of rioting, arson, looting, assault and theft without ever stating that any of it was senseless.

A senseless shooting implies some shootings make sense.

From last paragraph: The latest gunplay comes amid an uptick in shootings in Portland in 2021.
Gunplay?? I suggest writer Sam Raskin speak with the victims and their families. Ask them how much play is involved with gunshot wounds.

FTA, "Downtown business owners look to Portland leaders for answers after deadly shooting": "We want people to feel safe coming downtown because we like doing business downtown. We’re basically trying to bring back and so I hope people are willing to come downtown," explained Randall Willhite, owner of PoBoyz. Willhite has a food truck near the scene of the shooting. On Saturday morning, he was at his business's first brick and mortar location which is still just a short distance away from the crime scene. He says already his business has had to deal with a broken window and they're not even officially open yet."

It is happening just as Wheeler and liberal DAs have planned, they are not interested in controlling crime they want power and to control people. They want societal breakdown and are causing it by non-enforcement of laws and allowing career criminals to run loose, along with their ''defund the police'' garbage. There's nothing ''senseless'' about it, it is a natural of his intended consequence of his bad policies. It's not ''gun violence'' it is CRIME. An anthropomorphic gun did not drive-by senselessly shooting people, a criminal did that, and he probably has multiple arrests for violent felonies, drugs, and including illegal weapons charges and was released to commit more crimes.

Like Fearless Fosdick, Wheeler is observant and quick thinking and why he gets the Big Bucks.

How does he know it was senseless? If it was self defense is it still senseless?

Violent crime has recently become senseless after the mayor found out that his defund the police schtick wasn't selling too well.

BTW,
June 21, 2021:
"WEST LINN, OR (KPTV) -- The Cambia Portland Classic which attracts some of the best players in the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) is moving to a new location outside of the city.
Tournament Golf Foundation President Tom Maletis is citing health and safety concerns as a reason to relocate the nationally televised event.
Maletis confirmed homeless camps in the area are the main concern.
Response from the Mayor, Ted "No Backbone" Wheeler (D)
"Mayor Ted Wheeler's office released a statement on the tournament decision to relocate saying: "We’re pleased that the decision was made to keep the tournament in the greater "Portland metropolitan area and look forward to its continuation in September 2021. We understand the tournament organizer’s concerns and we’re working to address those.”

Wait! I've figured it out! I know why it happened!
The shooter was "unhinged" - - and possibly even "deranged."
It took me a while - - but I know that's the answer.

So all the previous shootings were not senseless? I thought all these shootings were mostly peaceful.

This happened in the city's entertainment district, and local restauranteurs are calling for answers from Mayor Ted, who gave a blank check to Marxist rioters. Also, "senseless" is very disrespectful to The Community, which has no problem opening fire to solve the most petty disputes.
