In the meantime, the word is out that Oregon is a safe haven for terrorists.
Soon I expect to read that bin Laden is doing fundraising lectures at the Convention Center.
Please see my reply #62 which I was posting as you posted this!
Nothing strikes more terror into bureaucrats than a vow to sue them personally in civil court if something bad happens to any member of your family due to their left wing agendas!
About 2 decades ago, our left wing city council and mayor tried to put a halfway house for alcoholics and druggies in our neighborhood. It would have been 1.5 blocks away from an elementary school! The neighbor was an upscale neighborhood in one of the town's more desireable areas.
They rammed this thing through until a small group us went to the final council meeting and gave each of them a letter saying we would sue them personally in civil courts and then hold them personally responsible if something happen to any of our children or wives due to their actions. They went ballastic and lost control.
After the meeting was adjourned our group was confronted by the mayor (liberal b$tch) and a 6' 3" liberal council guy. I told them who my lawyer was, and that I would own their homes and them if something happened to anyone in my family due to this decision. They did not want to tangle with my lawyer and you could see them start to lose some desire in their plan!
At that time the 6'3" came up started to tap my chest to scare me. While I had his index finger in my hand, one of our group was a 3 time Marine Larp sniper in Nam. He came up and took the big liberals hand out of mine and looked him in the eye and said, "If my daughter or wife is hurt by one of your so called clients, you will not worry about civil lawsuit. I will not waste my time in court!"
They dropped the halfway house. Later we discovered that the whole thing was planned by a group of left winger realtors to drive our property value down in this area. Then they would buy the houses at fire sale prices, close down the half way house and resale the homes at huge gains!
My lawyer, later, got a question from the city lawyer about him filing personal lawsuits in civil courts. My lawyer informed him that he and the council and mayor would be sued in civil courts if something happened. Apparently the city lawyer came close to soiling his pants when he heard this.
