Oregon Republican Lawmakers React to Arrest of Dem House Speaker’s Aide in Portland Riots
Kristina Narayan, who serves as legislative director for Oregon House Speaker Representative Tina Kotek, was arrested late at night on Saturday, September 5 and charged with interfering with a police officer after Portland Police declared a riot.
Republican state lawmakers in Oregon criticized their colleagues across the aisle for declining to denounce the ongoing nightly violence wracking Portland, and accused Democratic lawmakers of protecting their staffers and supporters who participate in the riots.
“The Democrat supermajority in Oregon have had instances where their publicly-employed staff have been involved in the violent riots and looting in downtown Portland,” said GOP state Senator Dennis Linthicum, who represents the southeast city of Klamath Falls.
“Knowing this, it becomes obvious why Democrats in Oregon and across the nation have not stood up for law enforcement and condemned the lawlessness in the streets because within these Democrat-controlled cities — they would be alienating their own staff members who are participating in the riots,” Linthicum said.

Just make some signs. Nobody will disobey a sign. Just ask the people in gun free zones.

Harris probably isn’t real good at keeping private things in her mouth....
Who's The Boss? Kamala Harris Talks About a "HARRIS Administration" in Stunning Gaffe During Live Speech (Video)
She's already looking right past Slow Joe! (and she's not alone).
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) made the one gaffe a vice presidential nominee can never make, speaking of a future “Harris administration” in a campaign speech Saturday, carried live by ABC News.
Normally, this would be viewed as a harmless gaffe. However, with running mate Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden’s mental condition widely perceived by millions to be suspect (or worse) -- despite the media's best attempts to hide it -- it's a lot more substantial.
Such a statement can be seen not as a blunder but as a slip of the mask revealing who would be actually be calling the shots in a Biden-Harris administration.
Harris immediately realized her error, and clumsily attempted to clean it up.

It is possible to have both
1) Arsonists
2) Extremely dry conditions due to climate changes
The data on the extreme dry conditions right now in the Western USA is clear, the entire region is a massive tinder box.

“Peaceful riots” are media’s way of being politically correct.

I can't buy into the climate change. I have been around a long time too see what is really going on.
Living in SNJ, I remember in the mid 90s there was a drought so bad, that they banned car washing for the summer and there were fires everywhere. Now for the past few years years it has been raining a lot. The water tables have been average for many years now.

The big problem, to me, is that people (especially Socialist/Progressive/Libtards and the skulls full of mush) deliberately confuse the variability of weather with climate change.

I’m tellin ya, that big yellow thing on fire in the sky has something to do with it, I’m just sayin.
You seemed to overlook the elephant in the room
3) Decades of environmental mismanagement that has created a tinderbox of unharvested timber, dead trees, and thick underbrush
Wildfires Caused By Bad Environmental Policy

Pulling my weight
so reading through that forbes article it points out that underbrush and fallen trees appear to not get cleaned up regularly, which can lead to added fuel. But he also appears to be saying that trees being allowed to just grow is also an issue, and i have a problem with that logic. Trees being allowed to grow isn't a fire hazard, and is better for the environment overall.
with all this said forrest fires have been regularly occurring on the west coast for centuries, long before the clovis indians moved in even. Its why that one species of tree (cant remember the name) doesnt have its seeds open until it has gone through a fire. The fires are nature's way of cleaning up the build up.
Since we arent allowing the fires to occur, there needs to be a concerted effort to remove the fuel for said fires. i dont know if california still practices controlled burns, but if not they really need to in my opinion. I do wonder what the professional opinion on this topic is though. Not some media pundit, but someone with the forrestry service that has experience in these matters.

I can buy into naturally occurring climate change. Right now we are coming out of the last Ice Age which ended around 12,000 years ago. Everything is cyclical including the Sun.
Some of the worst fires in California where from downed power lines
"Pacific Gas & Electric Co. power lines have caused more than 1,500 California wildfires in the past six years, including the deadliest blaze in the state's history"
Is it really rocket science to keep foliage away from high energy power lines?
But yet you a have a number of articles like this one:
