As crazy as it sounds I am thinking of heading to Portland next weekend just to walk around and see the rioting and looting. I have been all around the world, maybe even some spots a white man wouldn’t go to without a gun. Even then I have never encountered anyone as deranged as a white liberal in the Pacific Northwest. I don’t want to get involved just witness from the sidelines.

I’d imagine that Portland has to be my best bet on seeing the deranged white liberal in action next weekend?

With that said, Any spots around Portland that are a must see or must eat at? Any hint of blm or liberal bullshite and I am not eating there. I’ll just give my money to McDonalds or something.

What’s strange about it? No different than any of the people that go livestream the protests.

DC would be another option right now, just walk around the white House at night

Just plan on going town to town where Trump rallies are being held. Will probably see the same faces over and over. Get to know a few and you can probably have your trips paid for.

OP is probably going to be severely disappointed when he realizes how small an area and just how few people all of this is actually is

Friend,

Mother and I went to Portland a few weeks ago to help report what we saw to the readers of TigerDroppings. You can read about it in the trip in the following links, which may give you suggestions on where to see the riots, vandalism, and to eat.

That actually had crossed my mind for a minute. Just see it for a day then head to the mountains or the coast.

Portland is surrounded by the most beautiful scenery.

I upvoted you OP, cause why not? Portland is one of the best cities in the US to people watch. It’s amazing.

You may want to practice your skills of avoiding unprovoked violence before you go. Spend a few days in New Orleans before heading to Portland.

I’ve been to New Orleans well over 100 times in the last 18 years.

Just went to Portland, didn't go to the courthouse so I saw no rioting. Saw lots of people with dogs and kids at parks, lot of bikers, lots of traffic on the interstates. Pretty normal city.
Went to Mt Ranier and Hood. Highly recommend.

That's like going to walk through the site of a plane crash. Tornado, Hurricane ...Yes a riot....I've been to all of those ...After a while you come to the conclusion that it's not all it's cracked up to be unless you were there when the debris or bullets were flying.

I was there when the Molotov cocktails were thrown and the dude caught on fire. I was about 30 feet away behind the police.

It was a great time, very thrilling. Not many places I’d got to a riot but Portland is one of them. Overall a fun trip. Saw the coast, saw mt hood, and saw the riot. Can’t complain. Only depressing thing is the way leadership in Portland has destroyed the downtown area of what could be a great city by allowing lawlessness and hordes of bums and drug heads. It’s very sad tbh.

Portland is so much wasted potential. It could easily be on of America's great cities. It is in an stunningly beautiful part of the country


It really is a shame the way Democrat leadership has failed that city
