You are a bot. "Peaceful protests". Suuuuure.
It's not peaceful - it's terrorism. The town is paralyzed. PDX is a ghost town. 130 days.
Here is the thing - america is not the property of one party or another. All people are guaranteed freedom and safety. When a city/state allows an entire city to be paralyzed for 130 days - the feds SHOULD come in and protect it for the law abiding citizens who live in the area.
"Peaceful" protests do not involve criminal activity. Trespassing, disturbing the peace, blocking traffic, fires - you can conveniently say that is allowed by the constitution but you sound like a lying jackass. You may have a disease. I'd cut you some slack.
So, you are going to try and tell me about PDX. That's great. I have watched an awesome city have it's small number of blacks gentrified the fuck into tiny corners and driven out of town. Our streets are covered in dying drug addicts. Crime has sky rocketed. Small businesses have been pushed out of the downtown area so that their businesses and property could be bulldozed to build high density housing. The entire downtown has been decimated by crime and the government. The new election is between Ted Fucking Wheeler and an Antifa supporter. Ted lost control of his mind and everyone hates him. Meaning, most dems/libs because that's all that's left here. So, PDX gets to chose between an Antifa supporter and him. Nice. River? Fish test positive for heroin. Needles and shit everywhere. 20 years ago, the town was thriving. A reborn industrial town full of artists, chefs, small businesses, color. Everyone had it great. Then - the grand plan to do away with it's history. Bulldoze the old brick buildings that made perfect breweries, restaurants, book shops. All the stuff that the nation got a peek at in Portlandia. that is all gone. Most people started to avoid the downtown a few years back when the city told LE to quit arresting people for shit all the way up to grand theft auto.
Sure - it's great. So awesome to be among people who care so much. They are so helpful to the environment. Surely, they aren't just filling their pockets and those of favorite friends? Surely they don't just walk away with the loot?
Yes. They do. And no one smart enough is left to care. Then, you fall into anarchy. And, so be it. Eventually, folks get tired of squalor. Maybe some smart people come back. Maybe it's better for awhile.
Believe me, none of what is going on in PDX has anything to do with Donald Trump. Of course people are frustrated. The place fell to shit because of state and local choices. And, people won't admit it and even if they do no one listens. Certainly few care enough to try to fix it. They are all gone. Real Oregonians all bailed to the countryside. Which, is still pretty fucking awesome in the right places. No crime. No dipshits. But they are seeping in. Now that PDX and Eugene are decimated, they have to go find smart people to annoy.
