Don't mess with Oregonians!!! December 29, 2013 2:20 pm bowser

“Sandwich wielding police talk naked man off ledge.”

“A crisis-intervention officer — armed with a sandwich — persuaded a naked, disturbed man to come down off the ledge of a parking structure he was threatening to jump off in Portland, Ore., Saturday.

“Police said in a news release they responded to a call involving “a naked subject, possibly armed with a knife, acting as if he intended to jump off a parking structure” around 11:10 a.m. local time (2:30 p.m. ET).”

Oregonians will not give in for nothing.  We have a price and our pride!  I’ll bet it was a great sandwich, double-stacked even.  I’m glad the guy held out to the end, didn’t cave.  Some people are just tough.  An inspiration.

(I notice it wasn’t a pair of shorts he wanted.  Helluva specimen of a proud man!)
