You wouldn’t know it from watching CNN this morning, or at least while I had it on my television, but conditions in both Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington actually managed to get worse. Authorities in both cities declared riots and dispatched officers in riot gear with tear gas, flashbangs and non-lethal weapons to attempt to disperse the crowds. In many cases, the mobs were directly attacking police officers rather than simply setting fires and destroying property.
It’s been more than two months. How long do the police in Portland and Seattle have to keep pretending that the “protesters” are mostly peaceful and keep insisting that everyone is on the same side? How much longer do they need to make empty promises about not getting violent with the rioters? As long as the cops keep demonstrating weakness in the eyes of obvious criminals, the rioters will continue to press their advantage. And the mayors and governors in these cities and states are doing little or nothing to restore order. The National Guard should have been in both of those cities in massive numbers weeks ago.
Everyone seems to be terrified that one of these hotbeds of violence will turn into another Kent State fiasco. But the students at Kent State actually were mostly peaceful. The armies of rioters in Seattle and Portland are showing up on a nightly basis prepared for war.
They need to be met by an opposing army capable of taking back the streets. The alternative is to evacuate their law enforcement presence and surrender both cities to the anarchists and let them burn.

This is war, the United States does not surrender. Kill the first one to attack, watch ‘em scatter.
I’ll take door number 2, Monty.
Portland and Seattle downtown burn?
No loss.
It is time for the National Guard to be deployed, jail the mayors and police chiefs, clean up these cities.
Seattle and Portland are such hot spots of right wing fascism.
Tearing down Democrat held territory one city at a time
But it was a peaceful riot.
As these protests are reasonably contained in small neighborhoods, federal officers should drop a quarantine down and arrest everyone within it. Like the protest yesterday with 150 people rule in a neighborhood destroying everything, it can’t be that hard to corral them all.
President Trump should make a deal tomorrow with Mexico to House US Prisoners accused of Terrorism, Insurrection or Rioting in a MEXICAN JAIL, Far from the Border. Surround all these thugs, round them up and SHIP THEM OFF!!!
Israel uses .22 cal and snipes them in the legs
Both Oregon and Washington state’s leadership is communist and directly responsible for the damage and any deaths caused by this insurrection LED BY THE SAME LEADERSHIP.
The Democrats support these riots and need to be called out on it and face the consequences.
Like it or not - were in a civil war.
There is a third alternative that in part includes the second, move back the authorities and have the ride of the Valkyrie blaring as the Hueys roar in. Even if they were just using paint ball guns to mark them for arrest, I bet they would crap their pants at just the music.
Here’s the real-world scenario: Every time a riot is declared, insurance will not pay damages.
I’m guessing that commercial real estate in Portland & Seattle is at its breaking point (or near it), but if insurance is relegated to high-risk carriers like Lloyd’s, it will be the straw that breaks its back.
Any active FReeper commercial insurance agents in the NW with inside skinny as to what the carriers are doing to policies and rates?
LEO will dry up and firefighters will not respond to large areas subject to the terrorists.
Not only will the tax base start evac procedures, the insurance rates will go through the roof.
They will "Detroit" themselves.
.
The mayor, city council, residences of Portland and Seattle WANT to destroy their city.
I say, by all means let them burn it to the ground, but not before we build a wall around the entire city so they can not get out. Give them what they want, and don’t let them out.
Do you know who the highest-paid person is at CNN?

I’m OK with the Burning.
I have two minds about this. Sometimes I think that these mobs are simply acting at the pleasure of these Leftist mayors. Sometimes I think the mayors are squelching their inclination to act, so that they can prove, beyond all reason and the evidence of their own eyes, that Trump is wrong and that they are right. They’d literally let their cities burn to the ground rather than to admit that they were wrong.
Here’s the thing about trying to generate some kind of movement; with these mass demonstrations and riots
as these liberal children are trying to do
It’s the moment of course are they really going to do this day after day ??
and have people film them and watch them and analyze them
and if they’re committing crimes prosecute them
then it seems to be a rather silly excercise ?
Look children
do you want socialism?
it’s been tried many times before
but get some people elected and try it if you can get 51% of America to agree with you anywhere
and obviously in some places you already have 90%. Portland. Seattle. Etc
Let’s see you govern and pass a meaningful legislation that helps the people , I don’t know , get jobs and exist peacefully!!
Those weren’t riots. They were extra-enthusiastic protests.
