AR would be the weapon of choice when traversing Portland or any major AmeriKan city now…

If you are going to the OHSU med centers up on the hill (Marquam), then that is probably safe from riots as it is not downtown, but I have heard of occasional muggings in the parking lots up there.So, I need to go to portland after work today to visit a friend in the icu at OHSU. Think it'll be safe that way? I'm not familiar with portland and don't want to get caught up in any "protesting"
STAYING SAFE DURING CIVIL UNREST | Surviving When Things Go Bad
That's going to be my marketing slogan when I release my porcupine suit on black friday.
You see numerous articles on this topic. Many have helpful information but Andy provides the essential summary for all of them. Avoidance must be a priority because no matter how "right" one is, nothing good will result. Andy quite possibly also has as good of a perspective on this as anyone walking the earth. Thanks for sharing.Situational awareness...
Pay attention to what is going on around you...what looks "right" , what looks different , etc....
Avoidance....
If you see something that looks "wrong" or like you shouldn't go there...then don't go there.
Breaking contact...
You don't always have to fight or continue to fight...finding a better position or a retrograde movement may be best at times.
Have a plan...
But...be flexible as
Amen to that. I to am too old for that bubblegume. I am likely the best armed in my building, maybe the only. Nobody gives a damn about an old white guy. Guess what? Old white guys matter! (When they can hit you in the melon at 100 yards, or in a hallway at 20 feet) Bring it on, " I'll be your huckleberry ""Well there you go. When they come for you just the apathetic will.. be apathetic."
When they come for me I won't manifesting apathy. I will protect my own.
I have no delusions about being a "sheep dog." The inhabitants of the Blue Cesspool have created their own dystopia, and it that's the way they like it, oh well.
Those who aren't armed can call the police and beg for their lives pending arrival.
Those who are armed can protect themselves and don't need me.
It's not apathy. It's knowing what is or is not a good idea. I am not physically robust enough to flee from a mob or get up from the ground in a hurry. When things really get ugly I would rather be in a position to defend my home than miles away protecting something else.
I think you might be one of my neighbors.I feel safe here on the mountain. I go into town infrequently to get milk or ammo from someone here, or go to the chiro to get my spine crackled (the LMT does a better job) or do something for the kids, but I don't need to go into town more than once every 3-4 weeks, so I am somewhat confident I could be ok without exposing myself to idiots rioting in downtown Portland.

We leave the mountain rarely enough, mostly try to bundle all the town BS into one trip so we can come back to the green zone
They government is in on it. The building must be demolished before a new structure can be built.Good information. Too bad we have to prepare for events that are completely avoidable if government authorities were able or willing to take action against violent criminals embedded in protest demonstrations. Those who peacefully engage in expressing their rights aren't the threat. Those who take advantage of the situation to engage in violence should be dealt with by applying judicious use of force by the responsible authorities followed by prosecution and incarceration. Unfortunately, most of the issues we have seen so far, and will see again, are the direct result of governing authorities refusing to exercise this option.
He make the most important point about "Politically Sanctioned Violence.", is that: if you defend yourself, the ruling regime declares that YOU are the criminal, not the actual criminals.Excellent article by Michel Bane on "Politically Sanctioned Violence."
