Unknown (Portland montage narrator)

I am smack dab in the middle of a Portland green space.

Everywhere you look, trash, paraphernalia, rotting food, and even dead animals.

This is the reality to the streets.

This is a symptomatic homeless teenager on the streets on meth.

For what?

This is a symptomatic homeless man who's been talking to himself for about two hours downtown Portland.

Homeless man behind me has been flashing people the last half hour.

Behind me is a senior citizen smoking meth.

He's about 72 years old.

Homeless man behind me without a shirt just tried to break that window.

So nobody is dying in this exact moment, but this right here is the deadliest block in Portland and where I've seen about 20 people die in the last year.

Behind me is a homeless woman injecting heroin into her foot.

Knotted out in front of a business.

Impossible to get in the front door.

There's a good 15 people on this block.

About 12 are actively smoking fentanyl, two people.

All native-born whites, of course.

You have to look at the evidence.
