That personal freedom comes at a cost to the safety of your family.

Property crime rates skyrocketed.

Most stores have to have locked port access.

Go walk around Salem or Portland and access some public places. It's not safe to do so and anyone can verify that in seconds.

I have actually a much better understanding now in DC of how people can actually be compassionate. What Oregon is doing is not compassion, it's actively causing harm and destroying thirty thousand lives as we speak right now and climbing. Those are real people dying on your sidewalks in front of you. Someone else's daughter or son.

The environment has been distorted and the problem is bigger now than the appetite for compassion.

I hope you stay safe.
