We’re safe. It’s scary knowing there are people who legitimately think “antifa liberals” are setting these towns on fire... we are very clearly documenting and interviewing folks. Our pictures were taken and so was the car and license plate
I’m gonna be completely honest... that was scary as hell. Before Justin walked over one of the men cocked his assault rifle at me. They were 3 large assault rifles and extremely confrontational. We’re dressed in normal clothing and we’re wearing our press credentials
Down on cascade highway where firetrucks are arriving to station at the local school, supplies are still being dropped off and the line of cars evacuating has no end in sight.
Here’s a long thread that shows Portland Police collaborating with right-wing extremist who often act as militias. These incidents pertaining to the wildfires in Oregon are terrifying, but not uncommon.

I would think that an investigation would come first, and then the absolution. We know many of the fires are from arson. Catch the arsonists before you exonerate them.
