Just after I read "Soldier Millions", I ran across this gem:

GoLocalPDX | Portland’s Most Dangerous Neighborhoods

Just in case you want a long walk.

-Bro, I'm already an honorary Portland Negro! Got drunk with a leader of the local Bantu Impi and flirting with a cinnamon barmaid as I write. Down the street from here a brutha rolled up on a ghost couple, took the woman, threw her in the 79 charger, sped off and cursed her at gun point while threatening to pistol whip her for not finishing his blow job. As the cops chased him he got a good look at her and she seemed kind of soft around the eyes and said, "Oh, you not da bitch I paid ta suck ma dick lass night—Ma bad. You can get out, baby, and let her go."

Dark chivalry Bro!
