You have summed up Schmidt’s approach to prosecuting criminals: “But none of that mattered to Mike Schmidt, particularly if Schmidt thought Nelson echoed his own extremist views on violence, crime and Schmidt’s warped ideas on what constitutes social justice.”
Seriously, if Schmidt loses his bid for re-election, he needs to become a criminal defense attorney. That is where his heart and soul lie. The problem, of course, is that Schmidt doesn’t want to get his hands dirty dealing with guys like Nelson. Instead, Schmidt will stand at a safe distance and provide cover for him.
Exactly. I have often thought of that very thing and I really believe Schmidt is a coward. He's afraid. When I watched that God awful video podcast interview, I observed how he was stumbling over his words, frantic, nervous, talking too fast, like a teenage boy, and then when he said Josh Marquis was the current DA of Clatsop County, I was shocked someone could be so careless. I mean I've made mistakes in things I've written and I go back and try to correct them, but when you're on camera, you want to make sure you have your facts straight. That was a HUGE blunder on his part and made him look so bad.
The other thing that makes me sick is that a couple of years ago, there was a well known writer in Portland and when her young son died of an accidental Fentanyl overdose Schmidt contacted her and visited her home. He really went above and beyond on that tragedy. But when the Hobbs family lost their son and his young girlfriend to an act of horrifying, premeditated murder, Schmidt never once took the time to speak with them. No doubt because they're not high on the social ladder. He will visit the famous Portland writer, but not common every day people. He's an elitist and a classiest as well. I really hope Nathan Vasquez wins. I hope Portlanders see how important it is to vote for him, and not Schmidt.
