couldn't agree more.....in a column about cruising for sex, i think it is critical to share information other than how big your cock is or whether you're a top or a bottom. it's especially critical in portland right now given the actions by the kroeker administration (or should i say the kroeker reich) over the last several months. i am critically and painfully aware of how excessive and intrusive the police presence has become in portland. i was one of the "suspects" arrested on new years eve. i was an innocent bystander....had just left silverado and was walking around to get some fresh air and was in the wrong place at the wrong time...i had no idea that someone had just looted a liquor store (that's apparently where all the bottles were flying from).....the next thing i knew, i'm being handcuffed and thrown in the back seat of a police cruiser. i've NEVER had any problems before and have a clean record....it has been the most terrible ordeal of my life and it isn't over yet. the point of all this is that the police are on full alert, ready to crack heads at the least provocation (or without provocation), and given "good old boy" kroeker's homophobia, i wouldn't be surprised if some serious sting operations were to start any time.

watch your ass out there boys...i'm thinking i'm just going to either rent porn or go to a safe spot to cruise until this all blows over.
