Say… did you ride a motorbike? A '52 Vincent?

The fire, however, will have plenty of interest, and the fire’s interaction with the last two items will render the property uninhabitable.

If she still has a '52 Vincent, I will marry her this week.

I found nothing about BLM or weapons in this article.
Eastern and southern Oregon are redneck central. The Willamette Valley is west of the Cascades and is where most of the population lives and is liberal in its politics.
Even less reason for Antifa to be ‘invading their town’.
I’m not saying I did, nor saying I didn’t. For all I know they are still looking for me. But, heck, they even had my part of town wrong.
@gargoyle Sorry, I have enough trouble with one man (Mr. Hatmama). I’m not looking for more.

With all the places you mention, you are bringing back memories. Though I had left the fair city you describe by then. On the internets, a search of my name gets links to Congressional testimony from the FBI on where I then lived, and on my then wife too. Gasp! FBI surveillance revealed our street address and that we were affiliated with a church group that supported civil rights.
However, what I most remember about the FBI back then is that on December 4, 1969, they organized a midnight raid in the apartment of Fred Hampton. Previously, they coerced an informant to drug him. Hampton, an articulate young spokesperson for the Black Panther Party was murdered in his sleep with multiple shots fired by the FBI and local law enforcement.

There are no fires. It’s all a deep state hoax like Covid. Stay at home and protect your stuff from Antifa thieves who are waiting for you to leave so they can steal your stuff.

“We are facing a crisis”, he warns at the start, “and one that has consequences for us all.”
What follows is a shocking reckoning of the damage our species has wrought on the natural world.
There are the stunning images of animals and plants you would expect from an Attenborough production, but also horrific scenes of destruction. In one sequence monkeys leap from trees into a river to escape a huge fire. In another a koala limps across a road in its vain search for shelter as flames consume the forest around it.

Just to be clear, my city was Madison, Wisconsin – University of Wisconsin demonstrations against Dow Chemical in 1968, and the Cambodian Incursion in 1969. Once Karleton Armstrong bombed the Army Math Research Center in Sterling Hall in 1970. (Which blew up my Botany lab, across the court.) And, after the Kent State murders in 19770, everything shut down. Madison became a cow town college, because out-of-state tuition was raised to exhorbitant levels, and the best and the brightest of the student body were gone. What a pity! What a loss of Brain Power and rigorous academic discussion.
I think you are talking about the FBI raid in Chicago, and, IMHO, I feel Fred Hampton was murdered. I have always had tremendous respect for the Black Panther movement. I wear my masks with their salute proudly, today (No Justice, No Peace; and I Can’t Breathe). I am in solidarity forever with what they have achieved. They are responsible for a great program in this country in community centered acupuncture.
Yes, your experience with the FBI was similar to mine, but at least they did justice to you for some of their information. They provided fabricated lies about me. They never inform you, but can do tremendous damage to your reputation and livelihood. The reason I filed a FOIA was because I was a recent Grad School grad, and was recruited by a big industry/military research and mfg. company. And I knew they would be doing extensive background checks. And I found out from the FOIA that the FBI did a crap job on me. And I don’t believe for a minute that they have ever cleaned up their act. After more than 50 (!!) years. That is a horrific indictment of our government. And I want that change to happen!
I truly appreciate your comment and insight!

Just saw your reply from last September. I was long gone from Mad-City by 1969. When I began UW-Mad in the late ‘50s, in-state tuition was less than $100.00. a semester ($93.00 and change as I recall). It’s now $10,000.00+.
My sense is that tuition increases were in response to the anti-war protests on campus. However have never seen a discussion of that.
I didn’t know about the 1960s or ‘70s FBI testimony to a Congressional Sub-Committee concerning my then wife and I until seeing it in an internet search for my name a couple years ago. They did have the info correct as far as it went, Before I met her, my then wife had been registering voters in Mississippi for SNCC. She was probably the target, not me. Ostensibly, her participation in supporting civil rights stemmed from religious convictions rather than left-politics. I met her when I was a musician playing daily church services for an ecumenical National Council of Churches organization supporting Dr. MLK Jr. in Chicago.
Yes, clearly, the assassination of Hampton was state sponsored terrorism. It’s still so shocking for anyone who ever heard him speak.

Yeah, justice and passion and civil rights and music and politics and almost total repression and learning about the world were the awesome experience I had in Mad City, from 1968-1976. I was a regular folk performer during those years at some of the coolest places in Madison. It helped consolidate who I was, and what I stood for. It carried me through the entire rest of my life.
I have little to share with people who have not gone through those years of insight. Much like all my old (and new) friends who were in the Vietnam War, many of those friends are now dead, and many who lived were completely changed by their experiences. Unlike what some think, many of those survivors are some of the most incredibly thoughtful, productive, and resilient people I know. And they are still passionate, and have never lost their humanity. Justice, passion, empathy, and political activism. Serving the underserved. I have never followed any religion. Other than humanity. Keep going. and Peace.
Thanks for posting. I have just about given up dealing with our current political climate.
