And last but not least.

How does a global “ news” outlet in England know about a tiny community like redding ?

Hmmm???

How can voting ONE puke out of office garner the attention of a global giant like the Guardian ???

How does that rate as GLOBAL news ?

Who sicked them on us ?

( yup , looking straight at you megan )

ETA

Redding has no militia.

Cottonwood , a tiny town on the border of shasta and tehama county with 1 stoplight, apparently, the media claims to have one.

It’s so well known I had to do a search for it and didn’t know it existed till now and I’ve lived here for decades.

I’m not so sure the word malitia isn’t just what the media is calling those who they don’t like.

And in February, voters threw their weight behind a recall campaign against one of the five county supervisors, effectively giving control of the local government to a majority backed by the area’s thriving far-right movement.

Oh.  People used the law as written to recall, and elect new representatives more responsive to their wishes.  Which is somehow problematic for the Guardian.

It’s getting so Auntie Fae can’t even beat up an 80-year-old with a walker anymore. What’s the neighborhood coming to?

YUP; straight to Portland or Sacramento, both of which are prog/lib/democrat/stalinist/communist strongholds.

The streets may be covered in human shit and you WILL get robed/raped and murdered but they are such kind and beautiful cities.
