Subject: Re: War ravaged Portland
Portland...it's so easy to make the right call on this one: The locals should be locking up the people that are rioting for 100+ days in a row and throwing away the key. This is easy.
Are there people in Portland who have been engaged in the legally defined crime of rioting under the Oregon penal code for one hundred days in a row?
You can't "lock up" people for engaging in protests that one might metaphorically consider to be "riots." It has to meet the legal definition of the crime.
