Think fast: What would you take?

There was a nonsense "what would you take" thread a while back. But that one was clearly out there fantasy. The minute you invoke Portland however this is no fantasy. If its true you shouldn't be joking about it. If its not you really shouldn't be joking about it, because this is no laughing matter. These BLM Marxists are rioting outside the homes of mayors and police chiefs, people all over the country, and they are dead serious about taking your home, and your life, enroute to their goal of complete overthrow of the US Constitution and government. 

I live right here within miles of where they marched on Seattle Mayor Jennie Durkans home, and then the Seattle Chief of Police. In both cases they had to be turned back with armed force. There's no SWAT Team on my street. 

If it wasn't BLM did your friend in it was their allies in Oregon government. Never was any reason to quarantine, let alone be on lockdown for 6 months, during which time democrats encourage sedition by charging the innocent while letting the rioters and anarchists go free. 

Would be nice to know why your friend lost his home, what you mean by "level 2 ready to abandon their homes" and what your friend thinks of the way Portland democrats are doing their best to destroy civilization in Oregon.

Its no coincidence this is happening in democrat controlled areas. Fires are natural and happen everywhere, yes. But to evacuate 12% of your states population, that is not some passive we couldn't do anything about it kind of thing. Even the idea that the state can tell ANYONE they must just get up and abandon their home, their life, is tyranny. But then you look around and see political groups chanting Burn It Down, and democrats supporting and protecting them, is it any wonder there's arsonists setting these fires?? https://www.zerohedge.com/political/half-million-people-evacuated-oregon-wildfires-spread-arson-conc...

Half a million people uprooted from their homes, by the very democrats who cultivate the circumstances leading to this, and we're supposed to be fantasizing about would we grab the turntable or the speakers? Are you mad? No. But I strongly suspect you are liberal. Which, look around, if this is not a form of madness you'll have to explain the concepts to me better.

And once I’m resettled, I’d put some thought into why the fires are happening

Its called arson. They caught one here near Seattle in the act, and another one outside Portland. The Oregon man was caught, arrested, and then released without bail. Because, democrats. Then the same guy was caught starting 6 more fires later the same day. Molotov cocktail in hand.  

The reason the Portland riots haven't been in the news is the most violent paid insurrectionists moved to the rural areas of Oregon and California where they started the fires. 

If you want to look into how your lifestyle contributes simply ask yourself if you vote democrat. If so you have the perfect opportunity to make amends coming up in November.

Agree to disagree is the normal state of affairs on the right. Its only the intolerant left that feels the need to say this. On the right we say freedom of expression, free speech, etc because we all assume each and every one of us is an individual and free to pursue their own individual interests and ideas- and free to express them as well. Its only on the intolerant left where ideology rules and requires total agreement that virtue signaling double-speak like agree to disagree is used.

. No question I would take my guns and amo so I could Rittenhous any rioters I came across on the way.

My vote for most STUPID statement in this thread yet!!

Kyle Rittenhouse was attacked, chased, knocked to the ground and beaten by rioters, some of them armed. From on the ground still under attack he finally shot in self defense, and certainly in fear for his life, only the most dangerous and determined of his attackers.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOpW9lEEsDo

To say say you would "Rittenhouse any rioters" is saying you would defend yourself if attacked. To call defending yourself stupid, is beyond stupid. It is almost beyond belief. But the nonsense some people on this thread are willing to believe is truly off the charts and so I guess at this point to be expected. 

As Orwell said, "To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle." Never more so than with some of the people on this thread.

I wouldn't take anything. I wouldn't leave. Fire I would be there armed with a hose. The other (more likely here) a gun. The second is more probable. Both thanks largely to the people who have been making the relevant decisions- in both cases, WA, OR, CA- democrats. These aren't passive events. We aren't helpless victims. And this thread is in very poor taste.
