Philadelphia protests turning violent; what's happening in your AOR?

[REDinFL]

Anyone know the condition of Asheville, NC right now? We have a planned vacation in the nearby mountains coming up.
Thanks.

Noted that per capita, Chiraq, I'm sorry, "Chicago" is number one in murders and Philadelphia has claimed the prestigious runner-up position. Great, and going in to work is the only place I go that I'm not permitted to carry. So stupid

It is amazing to me that people that live in a metropolitan area that is run in to the ground by Democrats assume everyone lives under the same jacked up conditions, it's just not true.
It's peaceful and quiet and we're just living good lives and want to be left alone. We like our Police and our Law and Order. We like our schools and we want them opened up. We like our Statues and want you to leave them alone. See that's the crux of the whole thing, please just leave us alone.
But, if you want to raise some hell and you are so jealous of the lives we have built with our own two hands, just bring it. If you want to cheat us out of a Presidential election by pushing forward a sock puppet incapable of a Presidential debate and then cheat us with mail in ballots, well, bring it.
Nobody who is sane wants a Civil War, nobody who lives in my little City wants to put up another statue dedicated to the dead from the last war, but we will. We will because we wont be cancelled, we wont be spit on, we wont have our culture of success shit on by faceless, soulless Socialist bent on destroying us and our families.
We may not want to, but if the veneer of comfort is rubbed off by further threats of conflict or conflict itself, we will fight. We will fight you from the shadows, from little hidden pockets, from the darkness you have to cross to get to your homes.
We will fight because our cause is right and true and theirs is not and it is wrong.

Well said Sir.

Don't worry..commish Outlaw is on the case!

If the solution was authorizing the wearing of garish fingernail polish, I'd be confident she'd get it done. Anything beyond that, she's shown zero ability that would make anyone think she's even remotely qualified for this job.

From a local gun-board buddy whose daughter lives in Pearl District, downtown PDX:

"I heard from my daughter in Portland last night
someone torched their condo in the Pearl District
security cameras caught a person sneak into the secure garage behind an entering car at 9:30PM
this person then set fires in the stairwells to block residence from getting down, then torched the elevator lobby
Police believe it was ANTIFA
most of us are aware the Portland Gun Violence Reduction Unit was disbanded by the Portland Mayor this year
the murder rate in Portland went up by 240% in July
the Governor's plan to have the State Police patrol Portland sure is working out well"

So in Los Angeles, the mayor is saying that he will shut off utilities, power/water to private residences if a gathering is being held that the dictator feels is "too large"!!?? The legal analyst that was on (FOX I believe) said that they do have the legal authority to do it as it's "in the name of saving lives." Every time I think we've hit the point of insanity, someone lowers the bar.

“Starting Friday night if the LAPD responds and verifies that a large gathering is occurring at the property and if we see these properties reoffending time and time again, they will provide notice and initiate the process to request the DWP shut off services within the next 48 hours,” the mayor said.

When asked about the legality of this, Garcetti said that these gatherings are breaking the law. He said this decision is “rooted in strong law” after consultation with city attorneys.

“We know we can do this,” he said.

I can't see how that would be legal. Up to 48 hours after the violation? I understand multiple offenses, but I'm not sure a judge would uphold that if challenged.

Then again, even they like to lower the bar for stupidity...

ETA: From the houses in that article, it looks to be a very affluent area. I'm not sure he wants to take on the money donors in his city.

No worries, the good folks in LA will still vote “D” in November.
