It's always nice returning to North Idaho from the California Bay Area. It only takes a few minutes to spot some great bumper and window stickers in Idaho! The two below were at the Fred Meyer (aka, Kroger) store. I was shopping for Baby Back Ribs and some good rub and sauce. Baby Back Ribs are on sale for $5.49 / pound! Got two 3.5 pound racks.

A Portland Fred Meyer grocery store has fired a black security guard after white Antifa members complained, accusing him of being a Proud Boy and a "white supremacist." On March 3, self-proclaimed "Antifa scum" and "cop hater" Melissa Lewis, who was recently convicted for slashing up a Portland Police vehicle, shared a complaint made by Antifa riot arrestee Dustin B. Ferreira against 28-year-old security guard Andrew Duncomb, tagging Fred Meyer on Twitter.

Portland grocery chain Fred Meyers (Kroger subsidiary) plays loud classical music in its parking lot to deter illegal activities, including gangs, drug deals, and other crime. And it is working. But some neighbors complain it is "irritating and inhumane". Fred Meyer released a statement saying the deterrent is effective. Portland Police refuse to pursue the noise complaints. Details in video.
