Oregon's leading Anti-Militia group is holding an expose on Militias in Eugene this Saturday

[U8395279]

The Rural Organizing Project (ROP) will be holding a public forum in Eugene's super liberal FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH this coming Saturday at 3pm.

For background on ROP, here is a link to their website:

Militia/Patriot Movement and Rural Organizing Tools - Rural Organizing Project

They are a very liberal organization, that is working hard to try to stop people from joining any of Oregon's militias. While fighting the militia and patriot movements in Oregon is one of their chief goals, they also fight for other progressive causes such as rights for the LGBT community, and opposing any efforts that are deemed to be harmful to immigrants. They support full rights for immigrants, no matter what their legal status is.

Here is a link to details about Saturday's meeting:

How They Divide Us: The Militia Movement in Oregon

The public forum is being co-sponsored by Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) Springfield-Eugene, Community Alliance of Lane County, and the Eugene Human Rights Commission.

During Saturday's forum, ROP plans to share the results of its secret investigation into Oregon's militia and patriot movements, and will expose those who are involved in extremist gun rights to be racists, and part of the white nationalist movement. They will also claim that these militias engage in violence and intimidation, and are terrorizing local rural communities in Oregon with their actions.

Can folks who are more familiar with Oregon's patriotic militias comment about this? Does this sound in any way at all like reality? Or is this some sort of fantasy that is being dreamed up, in order to demonize those who strongly support the 2nd Amendment?

I know that the Malheur Refuge incident angered many people. But those folks were all from out of state, and were not from Oregon. I've certainly never heard of any Oregon militia causing problems of any kind, and I try my best to monitor the news.

I think that this may be part of the overall effort currently taking place in our nation to demonize semiauto rifles, and those who own and shoot them. From their viewpoint, anyone that owns an AR-15 is both a terrorist and a racist too.

Could there be any truth at all behind their accusations? I suspect that this will be an extremely biased forum.

I sooooooooo want to OC at this little event, just sit in the back of the room with my friendly AR, but I know it would be nothing but trouble and me being a complete DIC HED, and it would accomplish absolutely nothing. Sure would be fun to watch em squirm though. Probably can't OC in Eugene anyway.

It sounds like it will be presented in broad fear mongering factless generalizations, designed to promote and recruit, like any organization these days. I wonder when people like this will realize that Oregonians are not just either red or blue, and stop this high school clique-like childish game of reductionist arguments that only leave one with the option of choosing a side instead of examining the issues one their specific merits.
They sound like they're there to exacerbate the problem, not rationally address it; just what we need more of.

Not to mention how the Eugene Police Dept would probably react to the report of an AR at a church.

You might not be offered very much time to drop it.

A militia of one.

Interesting that they want to drop this expose in the safe space of eugene, that place is a pit. They can throw around any accusation they want, but like in most things, it's likely the accuser has more to hide than the accused.

What would be more amusing would be to set up a bake sale out front with all proceeds benefiting the NRA and 2AF. Given the violence prone nature of these groups, getting video of them breaking up a cupcake sale would be priceless.

The M14 w/selector switch is AWESOME, but the issue RPG's steal the show!!

 

[Sgt Nambu]

Yeah, this is a joke, though! At this stage of the game, I couldn't defend an outhouse!

On the other hand, I can still support 1st and 2A org's and vote!
And, I'm going to!!!

You would "trigger" all of them. Pun intended.

 

[PaulB47]

I call these folks the "white man's burden" racists, because they believe dark brown people can't make it without their "help".

Oh, well, "all publicity is good publicity". The militias should see an uptick in their recruitment after this.

I liked that poster of theirs: "In Solidarity with the People of Harney County" and "We honor a rural tradition of collaboration, conversation and resolving disputes without resorting to threats and violence." Oh, like the "conversation" their friends the Feds and the OSP had with LaVoy Finicum?

What do urban dweebs know about rural collaboration, anyway?

They went to a 3-hour workshop on it at their university one time.

And they have the participation trophy to show for it.

 

[clearconscience]

Time to find a holster for my AR pistol!!

Sounds like this will be a parking lot filled with recently migrates Commifornia plates.

F them and their socialist brain dead agenda.

These are the same people crying right now at the brangelina spit.

 

[Flopsweat]

Why do they always say white supremacy groups when talking about Militia ?

Afraid of getting Berg'd ? Or accusing all militia of being in the Order?
Either way it's all part of the wandering tribe's word games to divide and conquer.

What the hell am I looking at here?

Was that the Jewish radio host known for prodding racist with a pointy verbal stick on air?

Didn't he get targeted for assassination by the KKK? Or one of the founders of AB,

 

[Doc In UPlace]

Alan Berg, was murdered in the driveway of his Denver home by a member (or members) of The Order. Not sure what the point of all this is.
Eric Begosian did a heck of a job in the movie Talk Radio.

The latest census stats show that only 43% of the people currently living in Oregon were actually born in the state.

Oregonians no longer control the state, primarily due to the exodus of middle class escaping from California, combined with illegal immigration.
