@muffins WOW. I want to live in your world. You are DELUSIONAL. It must be pretty and safe and all equality everywhere. Oregon is one of THE MOST RACIST STATES IN THE UNION. There is more white supremacist activity, hate crime, and violence in this state than in many of the most racist southern states. Do some research FFS. It's one thing to have an opinion, everyone's got one, FACTS are quite another thing. No one gets their own facts, NO ONE. FACTS ARE FACTS. And you, muffins, don't know any facts, whatsoever. And before you tell me to prove something to you or educate you, that's not my job. All of the FACTS needed to disprove your inane comment exists, is easily obtained, and, due to being FACTS are 100% indisputable. You seriously live somewhere over the rainbow, dude.
PS - OP is correct; bring a bag to a venue, expect to have it searched if that is the venue's policy, no exceptions.
