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.

So your argument for having armed military troops in Portland is that the Portland police are both willing and capable of arresting individuals who break the law?

Portland the city and the state of Oregon are sitting back and allowing the democrats' street army to harass and attack the ICE facility pretty much at will.

You and al are trying the same old tired argument (that fits into the street gangs' MO): Hey, man. We ain't doing nothing. So what if a bunch of us happen to be standing here blocking your driveway? We'll move. If somebody occasionally gets out of hand and throws a rock it didn't come from us, man. No way, dude. I don't know how that window got broken or how all that graffiti got there. And lasers? What lasers?

No offense to you both, but nobody buys this sh1t. The Portland PPB comes when called - oh, probably a while later - and makes a grand effort at keeping things calm, but quickly get pushed out:

Whose streets? Their streets.

Remind me. Aren't you supposed to have permits and things before you shut down roads?
