quote:PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Gov. Kate Brown is authorizing the Oregon National Guard to deploy soldiers to help deal with an influx of tourists during next month's total solar eclipse.
Oregon Public Broadcasting reports that the National Guard will stage six aircraft and about 150 soldiers and airmen ahead of the Aug. 21 celestial event.
The moon's shadow first hits Oregon as the moon passes between the Earth and the sun and up to 1 million people are expected to visit the state to see it.
State and local governments have been planning for months to prepare for an influx of people that could jam highways and stretch resources.
The eclipse coincides with peak wildfire season in Oregon and the National Guard could help fight fires if necessary.

So she is going to add more folks and bottlenecks to help the problems.

they will be armed and told to shoot on site any weird behavior brought on from the moon doggies
You're wrong there, this is Oregon. They're going to be there to shoot anybody that acts normally

Preach, Brother!
I was 'threatened' by a cute little Millennial man child the other day. Apparently, 'my kind' are going to be dealt with harshly.
I don't think he understood why I was smiling at him. [8D]
but for a governor to enact them during a large riot and uprising where crimes are being committed is racist
Not in this state, the Gov would be out there egging them on and telling the troops to stay home.
