Live 10 minutes from the fire... heard someone we know had her house burnt down. I was told it was from a transformer caused by the wind storm last night. We had lots of downed trees and I saw a couple power lines myself. There is one on 167 northbound you can see there was a fallen power line that started a brush fire
Quoting: Asianchris22   Correlation does not equal causation. Most of these fire were caused by heat and wind.. Like the person above mentioned directly. The Lionshead fire near Salem started 3 weeks ago. Speculation based on unfounded rumor to radicalize people toward violence, is poison and will eventually be met as a criminal offense. It already is in a a lot of countries. Mark my words. Any idiot(s) that may have started a fire here and there to piggyback, will have their cell phones pinged, their locations identified, and bodies arrested. No one gets away with groupthink crime. Especially not dumb teens hopped up on the idealism. You're not hidden. I certainly hope if anyone started these that they will be dealt with accordingly. I did not start this thread to "radicalize people toward violence", trust me, we have enough of that in this world already. As I stated before I wanted to let people know who are in that area what was happening (fire) and the people who live there were scared it was Antifa. The reason Antifa was mentioned is so people could be aware of suspicious activity. I can't help what the people in the middle of this were thinking, I just reported what my friend said. That's all, nothing more. It's your thread. What your intention may have been..and how it was received by willing to bite alarmists, is no different than yelling 'Fire' in a movie theater. One of the first forms of 'free speech' ever banned. Shouting fire in a crowded theater"Shouting fire in a crowded theater" is a popular analogy for speech or actions made for the principal purpose of creating panic. The phrase is a paraphrasing of Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.'s opinion in the United States Supreme Court case Schenck v. United States in 1919, which held that the defendant's speech in opposition to the draft during World War I was not protected free speech under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.
The case was later partially overturned by Brandenburg v. Ohio in 1969, which limited the scope of banned speech to that which would be directed to and likely to incite imminent lawless action (e.g. a riot).
The paraphrasing differs from Holmes's original wording in that it typically does not include the word falsely, while also adding the word "crowded" to describe the theatre. The original wording used in Holmes's opinion ("falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic") highlights that speech that is dangerous and false is not protected, as opposed to speech that is dangerous but also true.
