You asked for it Portland, you got it, communism. It isn’t like Democrats hid what they were doing in OR, WA and CA. They even insist on controlling the rest of us, including our kids though their stranglehold on teaching. I read an article over at WND about the next step, “Academic union allows members to self-identify as black, disabled, or opposite sex”, so give that a look. I self-identify as sane and my personal pronouns are ‘F U communist democRATs’ and ‘keep your freaks away from my kids’. Face facts, there are no real actual police in Portland, just people dressed up like cops.

Also Washington (state) and California. In 1984 Reagan won all 3, plus Illinois and others now blue (he took 49 total, and almost won Mondale’s home state of MN but spent ZERO dollars there). Fact!

Democrats have plantations, not cities. They just moved them there after 1865. The new crop is votes and freedom is an illusion.

The Rats are too busy accusing parents who get angry at school board meetings of domestic terrorism.

Apparently some of those charged with weapon possession on January 6 had crutches.

I bet the Deep State was trembling in terror from those urban assault walkers and armored mobility scooters!

Democrats in the state legislature have destroyed Oregon, Period.

And Kate Brown would not be governor today except for the corrupt Portland TV News Stations(D).

Portland didn’t just vote for Third World status, they went out and marched for it. Even got their kids to march for it.

“Perhaps food and gasoline should stop being delivered for a few weeks.”

I got a tip from a reliable source two days ago, Portland radicals plan to do exactly that, mid November, transportation disruption.

...their hands were tied during a riot this past week that caused a half-million dollars worth of damage. The culprit? Democrats in the state legislature who limited their ability to use crowd dispersal tactics.

“Twenty years of voter fraud in Portland has consequences.”

Ultimately, the people of Portland are responsible for the fraud.

Voters can’t know all of the ilk going on but they can see what’s going on around them and choose their representatives.

Who do you think should help a Portland with problems they allowed to grow? Me, back here in North Carolina?

You see if you shoot someone in commission of a crime (rioting) that is legally distinct from shooting someone not in commission of a crime (laying there, bleeding, and twitching)

Yeah … so consider that medical examiners are not nitwits. They may be able to say something about the level of incapacitation before the final shot.

Unless you have video of the guy actually trying to shoot you after he’s already down don’t assume it’s a claim you can make stick.

Actually, having video that you know the other side hasn’t altered and cannot alter is really smart anyway … because they will be altering video just like the News looped the Rodney King video, count on it!

This comes back to having rules of engagement. Those are to protect you, not the rioters. Consider that i’m here advising you don’t shoot them when they’re down … so stuff does need to be said.

Now imagine you found yourself in a fracas between rioters and your neighborhood and one of your neighbors decided to started doing things way, way more than one toke over the line, as it were. Because you were “involved” the prosecutor could try to charge you as an accessory or accomplice to whatever that guy was doing.

They still might but if your previously agreed to RoE say “don’t do this” at least on account of those you could still say he broke ranks and was acting on his own.

his means principally three things: first some level of training together even if it’s only going to the gun range so that you may have some confidence and trust in each other (actually, other non militia-like sort of just being neighbors who get along is more important); second there needs to be clear mutually agreed on rules of engagement to protect everyone in your neighborhood from putting themselves in harms way needlessly as well as give everyone some sense of what the rest will do or not do; finally there needs to be a plan to improve your chances …

There is a lot of sense in what you say; however, it kind of depends on the neighbors. Two houses down still has their Biden sign displayed. Another couple have conspicuous Black Lives Matter signs as close to the road as they can get just to be sure you see (and are offended by) them. some others have taken their Biden/Warnock/Ossoff signs down, but I still remember where they were. Another noticed that I received a couple of hundred rnds of 50 cal ammo and one of his relatives took it upon himself to ask me what business I had buying that stuff. I told the relative to mind his own business and incidentally to go f**k himself. I still say hello to the neighbor, but I don't trust any of them. I still regret not buying an M-60 back in 1981 when I was offered one NIB for $2200 + the $200 federal transfer fee.

Annnnd those reps are chosen using the voteing systems,

that’s the point,

we ARENT voting ourselves these crap sandwichs.

N.C. can’t help if they wanted to.

Only voters demanding honest ,no private voting systems run elections can change this crap.

I still maintain
Voter I.d.
Hand count
Automatic full forensic audit

each and every election

can turn this crap around within 2 election cycles.

Vote the crap out
Vote others in
Watch those elected, determine if they are effective.
Vote the non performers out the 2nd election cycle.

Fortunately Trump and some others are raising the awareness of this link in the chain.
