Hey folx.

Decided to get off my hill for a bit and check out how the area is looking for @Doublesided541.

Currently in #Springfield on Hayden Bridge *trying* to see the McKenzie River.
There's a tent here at Springfield High School called "Patriot Rescue" and told @mgbelka that Antifa is to blame for the fires.
TONS and TONS of supplies for those in need here at Slike Field.
License plates are optional for Patriots apparently
Now at the Bob Keefer Center off 52nd checking out the remains of a fire here that charred three of Willamalane's busses.
Just spoke with someone at the front desk inside and the busses were "lit on fire" two nights ago.
No search results are coming back regarding these busses so I'm unsure as to what happened.
Just got back to my place.

Fuck. It is REALLY smokey.

I can say that I haven't dealt with smoke this bad since I had to evacuate out of Tahoe in the summer of 2014.
@mgbelka and I are back out for @Doublesided541 at the mutual aid event to see how things have unfolded in the last few hours.
More food is being delivered
The amount of animal supplies and food is unbelievable
Backup clothes and water storage on the bleachers.
Patriot Rescue has left
There's massive clumps of soot and ash along the curb here.
Cars are still streaming in and adding to the donations

Just got here. Don't see any more than a handful of people yet.
The crowd has grown to approximately 30-40

Lemme editorialize for a sec:

Metro Voice News of Kansas City, MO dropped this article today about what happened at New Hope Bible College in #Eugene last week.

@RNGDave, @taylorgriggx and I were there.

Here's my issue:

metrovoicenews.com/oregon-christi…
- The headline "Oregon Christian college students stand firm against protestors attacking cross on campus."

Unless you consider grown men between the ages of 40 and 70, in "security squads" carrying guns and other weapons to be college students, I didn't see any.
Also counter to the claim that these were college students is the fact that one man, the only one who answered any questions, said that the men we were seeing were from the Oregon Patriots Militia.

When asked if they were officially contracted, he refused to answer.
