(Not worth it ... all of that criminal and deviant activity taking over my brain, obviously)

Missed whatever it was. Maybe it is the daily dope and petty theft arrests (among the criminal and deviant by an objective standard) of the same people that are driving me nuts.
If it was that query about personally observed protests in WA or OR, that would be zero. How many am I aware of through friends that worked them? Quite a number. Are ALL protests filled with violence and destruction? Of course not. We here in CA seem to have a greater tolerance for such acts than many other places. Ironically, the destruction seems to occur in those places that tend to favor the political leanings of the rioters.
Exactly, Carl.
I certainly miss the weather and scenery in CA, but I am still glad I got out when I did...although WA aint exactly a bastion of law & order ferver, either
All the more reason why I intend to flee in 3 1/2 years when I get retirement #2.
With increased taxes, rising utility rates even with cut use, a soft-on-crime/anti-police attitude, and an ever increasing likelihood of state and local insolvency to varying degrees, it's time to flee.
I guess I'll chime in here, two months later (and a month after the most recent post).
This woman was caught on camera throwing glass bottles at 'pro-free-speech' members, which exploded on impact both from the force of the contact with the ground, as well as M80 firecrackers inside the glass. This was documented to be happening several times. In one instance and from another angle, just before the punch delivered to her, she's seen carrying another glass bottle (green, I believe), likely with the same intent. For all intents and purposes, at Berkeley they had IEDs.
Is it self-defense in this case? Depends on what she has in her hands, if anything.
