Of course, its an election year

Wouldn't it be nice if when this crap happens and if like the last summer of love when the authorities just say, "Let them them have their fun." the people tell the mayor or whoever, "Either you stop that crap or we well will and it will be bloody!" I remember that the Watts riots didn't stop until the police were allowed to shoot a few. Came to an end right quick like.

Yeah, but this ain't 2020. I hope they are that stupid.

It's obvious that they are, so what are you going to do about it now in 2024?

It's mostly a peaceful movement............

If people tolerate this sh_t in their community, they deserve it.

D convention will be entertaining.

It is going to be a replay of 1968. These pro-Hamas demonstrators hate Biden and they will go wild in Chicago. This will not benefit Biden and Kamala at all.

Pretty sure they will be just one of a number of pissed off people. Hopefully some GenZ will wake up and raise hell for the right reasons.

Nonsense, They "hate" who they are paid to hate, most if not all, don't even know why they are there.

Rest assured many of them hate Biden.

This is like 5 day old news.

Awwwww is it still illegal for you to pump your own gas or do you have to tip some street urchin to do it for you?

We can pump our own, but I still frequent a station where several cute young ladies dash out and do it all including windshield washing and oil checks. There's usually some cookies or donuts on the counter too if one gets there in the AM.

Also, I'm on the east side of the state.

Those flaming cop cars make for pretty good target illumination, don't they? Drop half a dozen of them in their tracks from a few hundred yards away with a subsonic bullet from a suppressed rifle, and it just might take the fun out of the game. No, the cops don't need to get involved at all. If a 450 grain hard cast at 900 FPS from a .45-70 could drop a bison, a raghead protestor shouldn't be much of a problem. Lob them in from a roof top 3 blocks away.

Outstanding! Portland the last time I had to go through that bastion of blithering idiocy really went out of it's way to unimpress me. The skuzz that was holding people up to pump their gas wanted $10. for this service. I had no idea being up from Texas on my way to Washington state that I wasn't supposed to pump my own gas, told this fool to fuq off. He went inside and called the cops! Ended up pumping my own gas AND giving the skuzz $10. No other fine levied. No cute young ladies in evidence.

How was the skuzz able to call the cops while he was spitting out a mouthful of broken teeth?

I was feeling civilized at the time.

That's why the cane I use after nearly losing a foot in a a motorcycle wreck has over a pound of bullet casting lead poured into the tip. Makes a good attitude adjuster!

He came up to me and sort of squeezed between me and the pump, he stunk bad. Then he sticks his hand out and says for ten bucks I'll pump your gas. I said I'll pump it myself and he says that's illegal! Not believing him I start reading the signs posted and sure enough it appears I have to let this riverbottom bum or someone else pump my gas. Before the tank is full a cop pulls up. And out comes Skuzz. There was an automatic bias against Texas up front. I asked what kind of certification does skuzz get to pump my gas. The cop says it could be anybody just not me. This set my buddy off. Jimmy is not one to take BS lightly. Well it was funnier when we got across the Colombia river. In fact on the way back after prospecting in some creeks we followed the river on the Washington side to Umatilla. No reason to ever visit Portland again.

10$? Never heard of a pumping surcharge. Just pay whatever the pump rings up. Someone took you for an expensive ride.

Lots of stupid laws on the books. Don't know if it's still that way, but in Washington one could not pick up his drink and move from the bar to a table or another seat. Had to have the bar maid move the glass over. Had my butt chewed several times over that one, but it didn't stop me from drinking.

Notice how these pussies never come out of their Blue schitholes. Laughing.

Well why the cop was interested in enforcing the policy must have meant something. And just because you never heard of it? Are you lying or just ignorant. I suppose there is a difference.

When drivers could last pump their own gas anywhere, any time in Oregon, Joe Biden was in elementary school and the American flag only had 48 stars. But on Friday, Democratic Gov. Tina Kotek signed a bill (HB 2426) that legalizes self-service gas stations across the state, ending a ban that had been on the books since 1951. New Jersey is now the only state in the nation that bans self-service gas stations.

To catch drivers up to speed, local news outlets across Oregon have published guides and answered questions on how to pump gas safely. “Should I try to avoid touching or inhaling gasoline?” “Yes, gasoline is toxic and highly flammable,” KGW 8 responded.
