Oregon: Local Officals, Cops Tell Governor Brown To Get Stuffed For Thanksgiving
Apparently, Governor Brown deciding that Antifa rioting is legal has given conservative Oregonians -- of whom there are very many outside of Portland -- the idea that this whole law and order thing is a lot more flexible than they had thought.
[OregonLive] Gov. Kate Brown has imposed a new round of statewide restrictions on businesses and social gatherings -- just in time for Thanksgiving. The emergency orders, intended to slow the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, include limiting gatherings to six people even in private homes.

But Oregon’s sheriffs and other local officials are struggling to figure out how to enforce the orders -- or whether they should enforce them at all -- as the deadly virus rages through their communities. A few sheriffs and police chiefs have said they will disregard the orders and not make arrests or otherwise seek to punish people.

Clackamas County Commissioner Tootie Smith gained national attention this week for saying she will hold a large Thanksgiving celebration with "as many family and friends" as possible, despite the governor’s orders.
"We are adults. We do not need to be treated like second-rate slaves," she said.
Tootie, what part of being a conservative in Kate Brown's Oregon are you not understanding?
Another county's commissioners said "We cannot in good conscience condone citing or potentially arresting people for gathering with family to give thanks on Thanksgiving or for attending Church services."
Which would cause the NYT to call them "far-right extremists".
A local mayor said one of the most surprising comments that the Governor made was, "I am not asking you, I am telling you."
Hey Antifa guys things, here's some actual fascism for you. Knickers on full twist!
She also has said that she is working with the Oregon State Police who will be working with local law enforcement to enforce her orders.
"Mein Fuhrer! I can valk!"
