Fear is a powerful motivato and most of our smaller communities are very prone to fear, but the closures aren't protecting anything and are likely more detrimental to community health. The economies of those areas really on tourism and without it we are going to have a lot of unforseen employment problems in the near future
I agree with the fear part and I know those businesses rely on tourism. but the business owners to my understanding dont support the protest either... as for closures not protecting anything I think thats a bit far fetched.. people in clsoe proxximity increases cahcnes of spreading the virus so closures do help in that sense. (not necessarily supporting the closures)
The beach people would know more than anyone how much they need the tourism if they really needed it, come June I'm sure they will want it. They are surprisingly self reliant and close knit and shouldn't be pushed
We are looking for members to be down to work defense at the protest.
The organizer has had multiple threats made towards her, if you want to be a part of this now is your time to shine.

@Anonymoose while threats against her should be taken seriously with how volatile Portland has been in the past ... I personally went to high school with her and know and have kept tabs on these people involved.
And?...
The lady tends to be an instigator and has associated with people who would shed a not good light on the group
Racists and such
Not that she isn't deserving of protection just saying
That’s good intel if it’s legit
Hmmm.... how well did you know this person?
<@&704442383554838632>
<@&704538592910901278>
Someone you knew of, Acquaintance, or friend?
Who is it she associates with that would be considered racist? Organization names would be good so we can confirm if she is in fact associated
as for organiztions shes been cited as being involved with proud boys
Ohhhhhh
That's not good.
Nope
Yeah..... I dont want to be involved with that.
Guilt by association can kill any group or movement
I'm not doxing anyone for the sake of anonymity and yes a long time friend who also went to school there and then moved and has lived in seaside. Yes there is people in seaside talking shit and wanting to counter protest . For the lady with proud boys and such her associates from school were SOME shady people from the backwoods of Oregon city and Redland not that she still keeps contact years after butttt
im on the fence about this whole thing personally, if the seaside residents were protesting, out there saying they wanted to open their stores and that they need the beach open for tourist income and such then %100 id be there
My whole thing is just protecting someone's right to protest. But at the same time I dont want to be involved with any questionable groups.
but from the outside looking in it appears as though its an instigator bringing people from outside seaside to protest something the locals currently support
@Anonymoose yeah I think regardless people should be able to speak their mind and exercise their rights
I am unsure how this would look for us on a national level but I think on a local state level this may cast a negative on us in the public eye

with the organiser having some standing with a group like the proud boys, I'd be a little hesitent to show up in force without doing some background research
if you can determine what sort of relationship is there, and if it is there, I guess one could make a descision
but i'm not going to advise support on this one
Would be good to have eyes there though of someone wanted a recon training and set up a lp/op
having eyes on site might be a good idea
though that might mean having some backup close by
or some evac at the least
I can run a good 3 miles in about half an hour if someone would bring me there and standby for quick evac lol
Have the recon team with a QRF on standby for evac. Monitor from a distance. Take lots of video and pictures
Especially of anyone that could be taken as a leader or figure head
