Think fast: What would you take?


I live in beautiful Portland, Oregon.
Pandemics, riots, rain, no rain, economic turmoil, comets...
Now we have devastating fires. 
One of my audio buddies is waiting in an evacuation center, awaiting the horrible news that he's lost his home. A couple others are at level 2 ready to abandon their homes. These guys are the best audiophile guys you could ever hope to have around. You probably know them.
With light rain in the forecast (Monday), I feel fairly safe.
But, I have collected one small suit case, just in case. My car will be loaded with camping gear. A photo album. Maybe a friend or 2.
Of the items in my listening room, I know I can't take any equipment. Maybe a couple Lps? No, I could replace those. 
So, I ask you: What would you take?
Hopefully, you'll never be in such a situation.

Nonoise, I believe you were partially (mis)quoting (partially misquoting is a liberal hallmark) this- “There is evil in one race constantly victimizing their own race, over and over.” Do you think I’m wrong? I watched black lives torn asunder by crimes committed against them and against those they love, over and over. The black mans biggest fear is another black man, not a white cop, even a casual look at the statistics would show that to be true. Hell, MOST black people living in an inner city would agree. Don’t for one second allude to me thinking that kneeling on someone’s neck until they die is in any way acceptable, don’t you dare take that liberty. I’ll have you know I was among the first in, what was then a new idea and unit, called community policing. In an official format it didn’t last long in any meaningful way because of the huge cost in terms of personnel needed to do the job correctly, in a hugely cash strapped city it didn’t last, but we loved it, and it made the population feel safer for a time. But of course because of my realistic views you couldn’t possibly think I’d do that, right?

Again, what part of what I originally posted is wrong or untruthful, you failed to address specifically what that was, instead deflecting with some inane amateur psycholgy? Oh, and you never touched on (you are touched) the fact that you blatantly lied (or your uncle did) about the ridiculous “bomb proof hood” you spoke of.

I’ve always been very upfront with my experience and the truths I’ve seen working in an urban setting, you’d have to be an idiot (of any race) not to notice. Then there’s the riots, murders, looting, and destruction carried out upon the very people the protests are supposed to be supporting, carried out by those same people, and you don’t see this, are you blind, ignorant, or both?

Try answering the questions I originally asked, for once without trying to deflect in some way, shape, or form!
minorl, you are right, there is evil in this world.  There is evil in one race constantly victimizing their own race, over and over.  There is evil in victimizing our law enforcement over and over, far beyond their 13% of the population.  There is evil in false complaints about law enforcement victimizing them, when the true statistics don’t bear it out, yet the liberal media embraces in it, despite clear evidence to the contrary.  There is evil in taking advantage of those misguided souls who truly believe in their social justice protesting, in order to loot, burn, and vandalize to their hearts content, most often at the expense of the hard working people of their own race.  Yet heaven forbid someone point this out, because, of course, they will be labeled a racist, and not what their true moniker should be, and that is a REALIST.  It’s amazing to me how almost nobody mentioned taking their guns, because without those, you don’t stand a chance up against the true human predators of his world, who will take from you all that you value and laugh in your face as they do it.  After spending over 25 years a a big city cop in a democrat controlled urban center, I’ve seen, done, and experienced what I speak of.
Nonoise, explain to me just what part of my post SPECIFICALLY you find worthy of internal affairs investigation! Bear in mind internal affairs ONLY investigates CRIMES committed by policemen. You may not agree with me, but you being the nephew of an officer certainly gives you FAR LESS “ground to stand on” than me, especially being jaded by the influence of an internal affairs uncle. Speaking of that, YES I DO HAVE FAR MORE GROUND TO STAND ON THAN MOST when it comes to this topic, I lived it every single day I worked, for over 25 year, retiring in 2015. The nerve of you to say I don’t! Buddy I earned the right to say the TRUTHS that I said. On that note, just what, in your nephewton wisdom, did I say that was wrong? What lie did I tell? There’s absolutely zero in my post that’s even a bit wrong. But go ahead, enlighten me...

‘’And by the way, you’re full of it, NOBODY has a bomb proof hood, that would keep the explosive force of a bomb planted under a car (which is where the overwhelming majority were planted back when that was a concern) from escaping upward, instead keeping it focused under and into the passenger compartment, where it would cause the most damage to someone in the car.  Seems the one accusing me of being untrue is himself the teller of tall tales.
