Downtown SLC is not a whole lot different from Portland. Thankfully it stops at the city limits.
When they were protesting the 2016 election of Trump, I noticed that they kept their protest in a 4 block area of downtown. If they took their Antifa crap into the neighborhoods, they’d get their asses killed. As liberal as SLC has become, it’s still more heavily armed than all of NATO. If people wanna chuck molotov cocktails at my house, I WILL shoot back in self-defense.
