I do too. Oregon is trying to have its cake and eat it too.

When the broader culture begins to feel personal damage from the virtuous progressives who enable the rioting mobs, the broader culture is going to mow down the virtuous progressives like tissue paper. Like a mower that operates on tissue paper rather than grass. Particularly soft and flimsy tissue paper. These people have been given a very long leash and they have giddily wielded their social shaming weapons from within their protective social bubbles, but let's not lose sight of the fact that they are fucking pussies.

Unlike Ax’s NY Times article post these Sheriff’s were not informed. I wonder if Ax will express similar outrage.

The interesting thing that has not been mentioned to my knowledge is this is Portland's problem and has been badly handled from day one. Why would these areas wish to draw the protestors' ire to their locations? So Portland would then come help them out? Not likely.

What an easy call for the Sheriffs.
Curious how much (and what sort of) political pressures the Sheriffs face.

Kind of like the HUD video women who said they had no idea it would used by the RNC even though they acknowledged emails to that effect?
Interesting watching two parallel threads and how the posters react to each.

- Probably their constituents will be unhappy if forces are diverted from their own community.
- Preservation of law and private property should be enough political pressure.

Like most states, Sheriffs in Oregon are elected

The pressure is to remain employed.
The pressure is applied by the voters. -

What really worries me is that someday at one of these riots, hundreds of rioters might be killed in some huge, unfortunate incident. If that ever happens, the social pressure on all of us to pretend to care will be enormous. I'm not sure if I'll be able to bear it.

That is obviously the plan.
Everyone loves victims.

So many people will be saying "good riddance" everywhere but out loud.
