In reply to the discussion: Forum Over Oregon Standoff Canceled Over Safety Concerns [View all]beevul
(12,194 posts)25. I misunderstood which article was being referred to.
Harney County Judge Steve Grasty said in a news release authorities had become aware of plans to protest the meeting and block the entrance to the county senior center, where it was to be held.
And was this planned protest "gun centric", or was it a protest over moving a public meeting to a tiny venue where only the tiniest portion of the public could be heard?
Because I've read quite a number of comments here and there about people being unhappy about this 'public meeting' being taken to what amounts to private.
That's a legitimate complaint, except, apparently, to you.
This is a volatile situation. They have harassed the citizens of Harney County to the point where I wouldn't be surprised if it was a resident that fired the first shot at the Y'All Queda bunch.
That's your opinion, not an established empirical fact.
Do you also advocate juggling lit torches near an open bucket of gasoline?
If theres really no bucket of gasoline near, theres no reason to object.

I love how our resident gun control enthusiasts accept public meetings which aren't so public.

They do appear weak and ineffective. I wonder how much this has to do with the 2016 elections.
