The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Are there people in Portland who have been engaged in the legally defined crime of rioting under the Oregon penal code for one hundred days in a row?

Yes. Does that help? And before you try the trick of posting an millimeter wide definition of "rioting", let me stop you: hahahahahaha.
There are a zillion other things they're doing like violating noise ordinances and destroying property. Pick one of a dozen.

Why's this so hard?

You can't "lock up" people for engaging in protests that one might metaphorically consider to be "riots." It has to meet the legal definition of the crime.

First off, this dog don't hunt. An effective DA would have that place cleared already by enforcing noise and nuisance codes. Not to mention locking people up for Felony Assault on a law enforcement officer.

You know. Like this:
foxnews.com - Officers injured portland rioters breach ice building explosives rocks

Multiple police officers were injured in Portland, Oregon Saturday night during a violent riot at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility.

A mob launched fireworks, smoke grenades and threw rocks at federal law enforcement, as they broke glass and forcibly entered the ICE facility, Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital.


Care to note the date on this article? What does the date suggest about the job being done by Portland's city and Oregon's state governments?
