IMO you are right. We were burned out with the Alameda fire September 2020. BLM was camping in a local park harassing local traffic etc. Fliers were found threatening to burn us out.

Counties are the largest remaining governmental subdivisions, in red states, where common sense stands a chance of restoring freedom.

Civility went out the window

Should they have followed the Occupy Portland model instead?

“any words, thoughts, ideas, or non-violent action they don’t like is “violence”.”

You are not keeping up—silence is now violence.

The Woke zombies want positive affirmation that everything they believe is correct, and positive action to support it.

I will add that you better get everyone ready for what is coming next.

If you remember, after Republican conservatives took ascendancy in Wisconsin about six years ago, the left came back the next year and weaponized the state court system to try and ruin the lives of a variety of supporters.

This retribution will come from Sacramento in the next 12 months beyond a doubt. They cannot let the slaves rise up — they will attempt to teach you all a lesson.

The arsons for the big fires that swept through Paradise and Lake County haven’t yet been caught. If/when they are, they deserve to be killed.

The pukes in SAC will be well advised not to openly seek trouble with the North State. There are a lot of hunters and veterans up there who hate filthy liberals with a passion and will act on it if provoked.

Exactly. Even to say you disagree is violent and offensive to them.

Just expressing a conservative point of view is ‘hate speech’

Chicago and Baltimore are very civil, of course. No stories about those hell holes and the decades of progressive policies that created them. Propaganda at it’s finest.

"At some point in the last two years, Janine Carroll started avoiding certain grocery stores in her hometown of Redding, California. The retired grandmother could hear the taunts people made to those like her who chose to wear a face mask to fend off Covid-19."

It stinks of BS in the first sentence. Of all the people I know who are against being forced to wear the worthless masks, not a single one gives a flying fork if other people choose to wear a mask. Wear 50 of them, I don't give a crap, just don't try to tell me to wear one.

This whole "attacking people who wear a mask" narrative is 100% a media invention, designed to blunt negative reaction to the overbearing mask nazis.

"its protections for undocumented immigrants"

Newspeak for ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, i.e. criminals who are in the United States ILLEGALLY.

George Orwell was a prophet!

What is striking, though apparently lost on the writer of this article, is that the people of Shasta County are and remain peaceful and law abiding, as is characteristic of patriotic Americans, who tend to support President Trump and to vote for non-establishment Republicans.

Such people revere the law and the miracle that is the USA, and they respect them enough to be willing to obey the law and to work within the law.

Leftists HATE this!

Leftists would love for it to be otherwise. They would love for patriotic Americans to be violent and criminal! It would give truth to their propaganda and the false narrative that is so important to their objectives.

And, in characteristic contempt for truth, they stretch every word and deed as far as they can to give the impression that they want, but the honest and wise seek truth, and they find it.

his retribution will come

/\

That would explain the shasta resivour being poured out as fast as they can.

The water level in sac is as high as I’ve ever seen it ( except flood level 2017 I think it was )

Once it reaches dead pool...

no relatively cheap power, power will be bought from afar and electricity will go through the roof.

.
Yes we won a few posts in the county elections, but lost most we were trying to muck out.

Yet acid cut off 800 farms, orchards and ranchers off from water.

They ARE all ready punishing us.
