Please someone post this monsters picture. The media is covering up what happened Sept.8 2020 to my community.
Is this organized by antifa?
Well, I shouldn’t say “organized”. More like a movement.

Our criminal governor BROWN, SENATORS WYDEN AND MERKELY AND MAYOR WHEELER are covering up the fact that
Antifa/BLM are ARSONISTS that BURNED UP THE STATE.
They have put law enforcement who told the truth ON LEAVE or made them retire.
Our governor, etc are AIDING and ABETTING CRIMINAL ARSONISTS. And they continue to condone Antifa/BLM riots and ARSON in Portland.
They started an apartment complex on fire and have set numerous fires in downtown Portland.
The governor etc are enabling an INSURRECTION.
The feds need to ARREST them all, throw them in prison and make them talk!
What is going on in this state is an ABOMINATION.
And what happened to all of the federal money they received?
People who had their homes and livelihoods destroyed have been told they are on their own now and that no more help is available, yet they can take criminals with covid out of prison and set them up in hotels.
Honey, I can’t find my way out of hell, much less learn html picture stuff now. PLEASE
OK, no problem, I’ll post for you any time you want.
How is the fundraising to replace your home going?
I agree.
People are wonderful here. I can’t express how much it’s appreciated. You will all know how it’s spent. I will get some money, but the process is cruel and just unbelievable. The tiny bit I get from Ins. goes to the county first so they can collect a years taxes and return the rest when they feel like. The same county that refused to warn 3000 old people fire was coming at them because they thought it would confuse them! We have been betrayed at every level.
People simply won’t believe most of it.
Hang in there!, And yes, please keep us posted...
This is one of DOZENS caught.. all from out of town, associated with BLM, Antifa. WE were BURNED out by the ANARCHIST LEFT! Dozens more listed here, unfortunately, the local cops are kissing their asses as we OLD refugees wander the state of Oregon trying to survive. Medford, Oregon set up a camp for Portland BLM in our Hawthorne park, but refused fire refugees to sleep there. They destroyed our park and finally after 3 weeks of ‘social services’...even mental health help for them, they were asked to leave.
Thanks for posting this info, on these arsonists, Aunt B.
Good to hear from you.
I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through all of what you’re dealing with....all because of these thugs!!!
And, the corrupt local - state Government, who is doing nothing to help you/fellow fire victims, and EVERYTHING to help the Antifa thugs.
Praying for you and your community.
That is terrible that any insurance $$ you’re entitled to, goes to the complicit county, first. Unbelievable. : - (
Get the heck out of that state, if and when you can.
Thanks for the report from So. OR. I am up in Clackamas county. Seen picture from Phoenix & Talent (Alameda Drive.) Very bad & sad. Some of the fires were accidental, some by firebugs who want publicity (time will tell if they are tied to the riot gangs or just plain nutz.) I was also witness to the goodness of people who helped evacuees or fought fires on their own like in Molalla. Be well down there. With God’s help. we’ll all be fine.
I quickly read thread title as “Emerson Lake”...and wondered what happened to Palmer?
Sad, we spent a few days in and around Medford on a vacation. Beautiful country. Glad we have photograhic evidence before it gets burned down.
The same county that refused to warn 3000 old people fire was coming at them because they thought it would confuse them!
Sonoma County did the same to large groups of residents in our first big fire 3 years ago.
We were rousted out of bed and our homes between 3 and 3:30 am.
Sonoma county big wigs were afraid that they could cause traffic jams with the people leaving. Fortunately, Some firemen and brave cops got most of the people out.
What happened did Medford become liberal in the last few years?
“What happened did Medford become liberal in the last few years?”

So sad! A decade + ago, Medford/Jackson county was one of the most conservative areas on the west coast.
Now, it sounds as left wing and liberal as Ashland!
Yes, a sanctuary city.
