Yep. If you grab either of the Fag Flag or the Stars and Stripes from its owner and burn it, both should be property crimes.

If you buy your own Transtastic or USA flags with your own money, free speech says it can be burned.

^^ Yep. For anyone wondering, that actually happens. Actual pooping outdoors. And then the guy, who is invariably blown out of his mind, shuffles around aimlessly with his pants down at his ankles (just how Bill likes it) trying to find a way to wipe his ass. It's quite nice.

And, yet, there is never a shortage of these fucking tours that people go on around PS. I'm always like, what the fuck are you people doing here on vacation? Go the mountains or something. But PS? Really? There are old buildings everywhere. Nothing unique about those in PS. If anything, they're rundown.

Every great beer place in Portland closed down during/after COVID. Right before COVID we had breweries where you could buy a Japanese lager that was actually a collaboration between a brewery there and one in Portland.

Except Maui's. Maui's will still be standing even if it's boarded up and taking on the apocalypse.

Seattle PS in late 90s/early 00s was a lot of fun for college kids/early post grads. Steep downhill over the last 15yrs obviously.

Same with 1st ave/Burnside area of Portland.

Both were a little rough on the edges back then but when you’re 22 you DGAF. Now they’re just places for H/Fent addicts to panhandle and die in the streets.

Again, the liberals are super happy with what they have done to destroy our cities. They love it, and are so proud they continue to vote for the same.

I also worked at couple places in Pioneer Square as a bar back while in hs and as an undergraduate at UW. Definitely rough around the edges even in the late 70s. My jr/sr year I waited tables and was one of the bartenders at Celebrites if anyone remembers that club between the Fire Station and the Penix. The tips were so great I continued to work Friday/Saturday and Sunday evening early in my professional career until my daughter was 4. I witnessed some wild shit in that club and it was a heaven for Sonics/Ms and hawks and Sunday nights were insane once the manager and DJ started to attract the early rap crowd, one brother was shot and killed inside near the end of my time there. Rick James era

The only nuance I see here is the question "who owns the property being destroyed?"

I am over a 10 million mile flier and have rented cars 1000's of times over the years. I have fought rental car companies numerous times and have never won. They just ding your credit immediately. Rented one from Hertz in Memphis. A tornado hit the airport so I decided to drive back to Atlanta with the car rather than wait however long it was to get my flight out. Spoke to the idiot at the counter and she said go for it, no problem. They charged my credit card $1100 for dropping off in Atlanta. I took it all the way to the top and they all told me to pound sand. My company just ended up paying.

Rented a Hertz and drove the autobahn in Germany up to 150 mph then hit a bird which tore off a rear view mirror. I had insurance but had a deductible. They tried to charge the insurance company $2300 for one rear view mirror on a Porche. I got home and looked it up, the cost of the mirror was $275.

They are a rip off.
