They might try shooting liquified manure at them. The smell probably would remind them of home.

My buddy Dave shot his own butthole off...For about 2 years, you didn't mess with Dave. You piss him off, he'd haul out his sh*tbag and let you have it. He could even squirt or spray with it. Squirt one guy, or spray the whole crowd.

Then he got his butthole back and lost the only super-power he ever had.

Sorry guys. If the weed there smells like the weed here, the skunks would just draw a crowd,not disperse it.

We visited Portland in 2015 and walked to Tom McCall Waterfront Park. The place was crawling with drug-addled stinky youths who were acting out and trying to draw attention to themselves. There was a distinct "eau de skunk" fragrance emanating from them.

Yes, it's not uncommon to see heroin users passed out on the ground. I've been down to Portland a few times since I moved out here, but I won't go anymore.

We were visiting a longtime friend of Mr. M's. Thankfully, he's since moved to Eugene, so if we do go back to see him, at least our only exposure to PDX will be the airport.

I really like other parts of Oregon, like Eugene, Bend, MT Hood area, Three Sisters area, and of course all the little towns along the coast. I used to ride my motorcycle there quite a bit.

About fifteen years ago I went with my wife who was setting up a client that moved out there. I planned to spend the days walking around while she worked but that changed after two days of seeing wide open drug use, beggars fighting over street corners(yeah they were al disabled until they started fighting) and it wasn't what I would call clean or inviting back then. I would have given a wide pass last year on our trip to Washington even if all this insanity wasn't taking place.

Portland Dems Finally Fed Up with Rioters, Announce Plan to ‘Hurt Them' Moving Forward
By Olivia Brown
Published April 29, 2021 at 8:32am

Following a brutal year of nightly riots, Portland, Oregon, is in a state of disarray.

The city’s situation is getting so dire that even Democrats are opening their eyes to the way leftist rioters are wreaking havoc in the community.

“Portland was a beautiful city,” former member of the Oregon Legislative Assembly Margaret Carter — a Democrat — reminisced, according to The New York Times. “Now you walk around and see all the graffiti, buildings being boarded up. I get sick to my stomach. And I get angry.”  ...

Now assuring Portland residents that members of his office “will not tolerate” the rioting anymore, the Democratic mayor declared local officials will work to “take our city back.”

He took it one step further to say, “Let’s make it hurt them a little bit.” ...

Journalist linked to Antifa death threat video against Mayor Ted Wheeler
The Post Millennial can report exclusively that a left-wing journalist is linked to a video showing a death threat made against Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler.
Andy Ngo and Mia Cathell

The Portland Police Bureau with assistance from the FBI are investigating a video death threat made against Mayor Ted Wheeler by a self-described Antifa collective. The Post Millennial can report exclusively that a left-wing journalist is linked to the video.

The disturbing two-minute video was posted Wednesday night on Twitter by a newly created account named, “@knotathreat.” It was quickly shared and promoted among Portland’s Antifa and extremist far-left accounts. TPM is not posting the video because it includes a home address associated with Wheeler.

The video shows a masked person standing in front of a MAX Light Rail train in downtown Portland while a distorted voice narrates a speech.

“We come to you as a small collective from within the anarchist and antifascist community.

“We are not just challenging the idea of having Ted as a mayor. We are challenging the idea of having mayors at all. We want abolition. Abolition is absolute.” ...

No, it is not. What is going on is communist cities CREATING the conditions for insurrection to survive. That is far different from war, where there will be a massive casualty count, and from two sides.

[roamer_1]

I suspect the communists were not absent from the Balkan wars.

Right - But the fact of the matter remains - It is not a war until the 'other' side fights back. And were that to happen now, the liberals would be decimated. Heck, even the cops getting serious, which they will have to do pretty soon, will decimate them.

Right now, 9/10ths of the bullsh*t is contained in major cities, several state governments and Washington DC. That is a far cry from being overrun, and an even farther cry from war.

[mountaineer]

You're correct - the other side has not yet fought back yet.

He's an idiot for having gotten out of his car and brandished a firearm he wasn't prepared to use. There were multiple antifa wielding long guns surrounding his truck. If he was in fear for his life, the correct action in that situation is to floor it. If you get out if the vehicle and draw your pistol, you better be prepared to use  it. Instead he let himself get disarmed and then got his ass kicked.

I've been in a few "for real" gun fights involving automatic weapons,grenades,grenade launchers,etc,etc,etc.

I have also been in a couple of "face offs" with potential attackers while armed with a concealed handgun,and none of them ever got to the point where I felt like I HAD to pull the gun.

Good thing,too. If I feel like I have to pull a gun on you,you WILL be shot.

IMNSHO,firearms are NOT for intimidating people. They are for self-defense,and the best way to defend yourself is to kill your attackers. If you are not willing to do that,you should not only leave your gun in the holster,you should leave the gun and the holster at home.

Everybody CAN back away from a potential violent confrontation right up to the point where firearms are displayed while threats are shouted. The ONLY people who can afford to play those cowboy games are cops in uniform,or cops holding a badge in their hand,and the reason for this is EVERYBODY knows if you shoot,and especially if you kill a cop,your life is OVER one way or another. Even if you get away,the cops will NEVER stop looking for you and there is nothing they won't do to find you.

Kill another random citizen,not so much.

@sneakypete

I know you've got more experience than most in this area. For sure there are some people that think the firearm is something to pull out to serve as a deterrent. But I think that for some people the issue might be that they've told themselves they'll use the firearm, but then when they get into the situation where the rubber hits the road, they hesitate or can't go through with it. And it's hard to know if you'll do that or not until it's too late. All the more reason to de-escalate, de-ass the area, or - even better - don't get in the situation in the first place.

But in any event, that guy who got out of his truck was an idiot even if he planned on using the pistol. And he would have been at an even larger disadvantage if he had drawn the weapon and attempted to use it from within the truck. His best option was to floor it.

@BassWrangler

The best self-defense weapon is your own judgement. Do NOT let your ego get in the way of your survival. After all,what the hell do you REALLY care if some clown ends up thinking he made you back down? YOU know better,and can be proud of yourself for allowing your mind to control your ego.

And like you noted,there is no way in HELL that ANYBODY could have survived a gunfight with a handgun while surrounded by opponents carrying rifles. It just ain't going to happen. Go down firing if you MUST,but do NOT be the one that starts the shooting.

As far as that goes,the definitive description for the best way to survive a gunfight is to not get into a gun fight if you can avoid it,and step number one is to NOT pull a gun unless you are convinced that you have no other option than to start shooting. If this means allowing the other guy to talk trash about you,let him talk trash. Doesn't mean a single damn thing other than he is a fool.

An online advertisement for a room opening in an Antifa housing collective and unregulated prostitution facility in Portland has gone viral after being met by a barrage of ridicule by social media users.

An advertisement for Creature’s Co-Op was posted on Facebook seeking a “secret roommate” to reside in an eight feet by eight feet corner of a living room built out of recycled doors and a shower curtain for $302 a month, including other charges. Screenshots from the advertisement were posted on Twitter last week, prompting thousands of retweets and comments ridiculing the advert’s stringent and bizarre rules.

The Twitter user who uploaded the screenshots of the advert called the housing offer an “exploitative scam nightmare” trying to take advantage of people in desperate need. ...
