I reported someone reported JoAnn Hardesty hit their car and left the scene of the accident. The other driver was a school teacher and voted to JoAnn and when I spoke with her on the phone later, she said she knew what she looked like. The police found JoAnn didn't commit the hit and run, but the call happened. We reported the call happened. It did, though I admit because of her drinking issue and how distinctive her appearance is I didn't think it was a false report from the school teacher.

Here is the 911 call that came out after we leaked it. https://www.opb.org/article/2021/03/13/portland-police-bureau-911-call-commissioner-jo-ann-hardesty/

Here is when we released it. https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?ref=watch_permalink&v=447881693312705

Community reporting real time is always evolving. Sometimes I will get it wrong with my opinion. People remember this story as it was a false report. It was not. The issue was that it was leaked. The police leak all the time to the press. It was just this time with JoAnn Hardesty it became a racist and perceived as a political attack. She has been in my dining room when she ran for office. Public officials scandals are as old as time. JoAnn couldn't take the heat of public perception. Isn't it ironic as you are coming after Jeff and I in the same way. Except of course you have no voice, except a comment here maybe 10 people are gonna read.

You are being untruthful or you don't know the facts. Ted why is it no matter how many times I have indicated I don't want to have anything to do with you, but you keep finding me? Why am I in your head all the time? It is creepy. Go do something productive, and try and tell the truth.

Anyone who knows me knows I am patient with people. But you are toxic. I will block you if you keep at it... again. Isn't this the 4th platform? Also, this is my last reply. - Angela

What these folks don't understand is everyone has a past...be it good, bad or unremarkable. The whole intend was to shut Angela and PDXReal down. I'm glad many understood this and hung in there. For those that left...you don't need them. They are sheep! You are in excellent company with many in the vanguard media who are speaking the truth and suffering the slings and arrow from the extreme left! 😁 GOOD JOB!

I appreciate the testimony, Jeff. Not happy that all the trust issues affected you and your spouse in your relationship during this attack. You may be the weakest link in PDX.real, but as you already know, people like the entities you are bringing to the light, don't care about anything except keeping their own evil crap hidden. I pray you and yours will find a path of light and peace to continue standing back to back against the empire of lies that is the whole of the Oregon political system. much blessing from 98312

Thank you for the work you do, Jeff. Corruption in Portland is a cornered animal and it's fighting viciously. But you and everyone at PDX Real are fighting the good fight. ❤️

Sounds like you got it all figured out because you were there. Sounds like you also know how we think and feel because … Would you kindly reference the content where we talked about this in the past and condemned it? Or are you projecting your condemnation on us? Calling Jeff a pedo is a yawn. Your opinion is none of our business. - Angela

This makes more sense than the online theories.

People make mistakes and they change. I'm glad that everything is out and you can all move on. Too much work to do to get caught up in the past!

I'm torn by this. I fully accept that the information leak was the product of serious corruption, and people wanting to silence Angela, but at the same time, I can tell you're choosing your words very carefully. There are names you are specifically not naming. Probably out of fear (which is understandable), but still, it brings me pause.

I'm not sure why you chose to mention you were one of the only white people involved, but I can't help but feel that it was intended to distract. No one who truly knows about organized crime in Portland would suggest its being led by minorities. La Mota is far from the most dangerous entity to dig into, and the demographics at the very top of our cartels are about as white as city council.

That said: I appreciate the explanation. I'm not sure it's ever possible to get out, but you've gotten further away than most people ever do.

No one's heart is defined by their past. Our value is in what our souls have to offer in the future.

Please forgive yourself. Every time you choose to take the harder path, they become weaker. Every time you decline to protect them, you are protecting vulnerable people from being sucked in like you were.

I'm so sorry for the hurt they've inflicted on you both. Darkness has so much power over this city.
