Don’t say “wrong”, it has basically came knocking on your front door. Because of the left, Portland has become another Dem ran shit hole. I have a lot of friends there, two of which were liberals who’ve come to see the light, so much they got rid of their firearms now regret it because of what will probably be coming if Trump wins. Luckily they got smart bought more. My Priest lives right in Portland so I hear/heard it all time. So yeah, you do down play it. I’ll be Lakeview sometime Feb and that’ll be about as close as I want to be to Portland
Yeah, you should be completely safe in Lakeview, Oregon. According to the 2020 census it had a population of only 2,418. What is more, in the last Presidential election only 18% of the folks voted Democrat. You will be in home territory. You can relax at Hunters hot springs resort where you can soak in a natural hot spring.
How does having your priest living in Portland work? Does he travel to Hunting Beach to say mass, or do you come here? Oh sorry, that wouldn't work you did say lakeview is a close as you want to be to Portland.
Wong... my front door is in West Linn, a suburb 12 miles outside of Portland. The only BLM protesters I saw anywhere near here, were maybe a dozen kids from West Linn High School with signs standing near the 205 onramp a couple of miles away. There was virtually nothing defaced or damaged in the City of West Linn.
I do not downplay the BLM protest events in Portland. The rioters and demonstrators caused a lot of destruction, mostly in downtown Portland. Some of which have yet to be repaired like replacing or repairing the many statues/monuments they toppled and defaced. But having driven into downtown Portland not too long after those events, it was clear that the media overplayed it, giving people the impression the city was burnt to the ground. The damage was limited to a few blocks in downtown Portland.
BTW, unlike your friends in Portland, I have never owned a gun and don't plan for ever getting one. Nor have I ever committed an act of violence or intentionally damaged any property. In fact, I have never participated in a protest that was violent... and yet I definitely consider myself a leftist or liberal, politically.
