You wildly mis estimate the Oregonians outside of the I5 corridor. Remember, this is the same state that had a federal standoff while occupying federal buildings over a land dispute like 4 years ago.
Point taken, shouldn't judge the whole state by the residents of Portland.
Oregon is a diverse bag of nut jobs. And the forest/mountain folk can be downright scary.
What I was getting at was today's Oregonians would have had a huge debate on whether to use the meat to feed the homeless, or use crystal chi power to levitate the carcass back into the ocean. Or similar nonsense.
