My coworker who lives in Vancouver, Washington calls it the Portland war zone. When the riots were going on he would say I’m not sure if I see smoke or tear gas over there but it’s definitely not fog.

They were protests not riots. The police were gassing non-violent protests in residential neighborhoods. This is exactly the fear mongering I’m talking about. Some people who you “know” have second hand information, or just made things up, and you’re peddling it third hand. Once again, there were no riots, and anyone who stated this is lying or being fed bullshit from their TV news.

The protests were protests, the riots were riots. I knew some of the people at both. It was half panic and half LARPing. I had to work because I was put my wife through college at the time.
