A small, quaint California town has been torn apart by an internal war that has culminated in 'terrorism,' with residents allegedly deliberately swerving trucks toward each other, spraying enemies with weed killer - and now a bomb squad has been called in.
The battle erupted in the idyllic, historic town called Port Costa, which has a population of 251 seemingly very angry people.
The bitter townsfolk drew lines in the sand in classic 'not in my backyard' (NIMBY) fashion after a non-profit organization called the Field Semester expressed their intention to create an environmental school for high schoolers in the town.
In October, a group calling itself the 'Port Costa Community Alliance' distributed flyers throughout the town warning about the Field Semester Project in 'overly dramatic and purposefully misleading language.'
Port Costa, located 40 minutes from Oakland, had previously been something of a refuge for different bohemian types and San Francisco transplants.
Before the field semester project appeared, the town had been quiet and the townsfolk had been warm and affectionate toward one another.
'But all of a sudden, Port Costa's imploding,' resident Rhea Carvalho told the San Francisco Chronicle.
Members of the the Port Costa Community Alliance apparently desire the town to remain exactly the way it is. They see an enemy in the Field Semester project, whose mission is to teach teenagers about the environment.
'A lot of folks in town really like Port Costa just the way it is: the tranquility, the peace, quiet, lack of traffic,' Billy Vance, the spokesperson for the Alliance, told the Chronicle.
According to the Alliance, '2/3 of the residents are 100 percent against' the project. The organization claimed the Field Semester would transform their beloved community into a 'private school hub.'
In addition to the flyers, the alliance posted signs...

Note to the DM: Left quite a bit out of the story, didn’t you.
Again.
Best to keep the loony left out of one’s home town - desperate times call for desperate measures.
Have you noticed that it is always the people who want to make the world a better place that inevitably commit crimes against humanity.
LOL!
It is shocking /s

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive... those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
— C. S. Lewis
notice that the tyrant class uses the word “democracy” but never exercises real democracy. trying to push against the 2/3rds that don’t want it as though they do is anything but democracy. it is tyranny of the minority.
Progressive Socialism it always begins with good and noble intentions and invariably ends with mass murder in the name of the greater good.
” for different bohemian types and San Francisco transplants”
Parasitic infection.
I found it humorous. By the way, that place looks at the garbage dump.
As far as Deep States are concerned.
Perfect!
I’m stealing that!
what was perfect? and caused you to want to steal it? Please include the comment in your response.

It sounds like the town is composed of Looney Leftists who fled San Francisco. They got their little piece of the pie and want to make DAMN SURE none of the things they advocate and vote for are enacted in their little village. Social experiments are for the peasants you see. Diversity too is for the peasants - Certainly not for us.
Apparently that ordenice was found among flea market items. Not used as a bomb against neighbors.
It sounds like someone was selling one of the old practice grenades that you see that have “complaint department, please take a number” and a number 1 tag attached to the pin.
Yes, you defined all of New England, especially Vermonters. They vote for EVERY socialist policy while exempting themselves. They support BLM and ANTIFA in OTHER cities, not their own. How many blacks do you see in Vermont? How many Mooselimbs? How many illegal aliens have set up tent cities in Vermont?
There is a very good reason I despise the smug, haughty inhabitants of Vermont. If I were dictator, I would declare Vermont the location for all the worlds nuclear waste. /spit

This ain’t journalism. So, without having read anymore than the excerpt, I know who’s side I lean toward.
