The Special Session of the Oregon Leg is closed for safety. Capitol is on lockdown.
Special Session is for wildfire and COVID relief.
Oregon State Police and Salem Police stand by and do nothing while heavily armed trumpers brandish loaded weapons, surround the building and smash the front door in.

Granted, there would have been live ammunition and massive violence had the protestors been Black or leftists, but you can't say that police did nothing.

Real law enforcement prosecutors will move on them on behalf of the people of the state.

It seems like Oregon is too far north to be regarded as a banana republic.

(11,563 posts)Why is the govt. habitually reluctant to call things what they are. The Bundy group takeover of the wildlife center was, as well.
