Police In Both Portland And Seattle Declared Riots Last Night. It Didn’t Help
Hot Air ^ | July 26, 2020 | JAZZ SHAW

Posted on 07/26/2020 11:59:42 AM PDT by Hojczyk

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.

Agreed. Civil War is here with only ONE SIDE fighting it. IT'S NOT GOING TO STAY THAT WAY..

Trump will let the riots percolate a bit longer then announce he has ordered federal officers to use lethal force. A few thugs will be OFFED, the DemonRATS and their media will go ballistic on Trump with a 'Kent State II' narrative but the PUBLIC WILL SUPPORT TRUMP FOR FINALLY PUTTING AN END TO THIS MADNESS!

Is it a mere COINCIDENCE that we have Covid-19 "second wave" AND rioting at the same time? Hell no it isn't! Covid-19 is a deep state assault on Trump's economic successes and the RIOTS ARE MEANT TO SCARE PEOPLE INTO VOTING FOR BIDEN with the inference that rioting will come to every city in America if Trump is re-elected! THIS IS A LEFTIST CAMPAIGN OF FEAR AND INTIMIDATION THAT'S NOT GOING TO SUCCEED!

I don't know WHEN but China isn't the ONLY place where a DAM IS ABOUT TO BURST! Republican/conservative citizens have shown REMARKABLE RESTRAINT during these riots AND ALL OF AMERICA SEES WHO THE RABID ONES ARE AND IT'S NOT US!! We're not afraid.. We're just waiting under Trump's umbrella, biding our time and preparing to act if need be..

What I want to know is, "WHY HASN'T GEORGE SOROS BEEN ARRESTED YET?"

At a minimum, I expect similar letters. Frankly, I also expect some cancellations and obscene rate increases.

I'm OK with that.

It’s not a police matter, it’s a civil war. Send in the troops, shoot the enemy until they stop, and keep the towns under military occupation until they are ready to re-join the Union.

How long did it take the police to recognize they had riots on their hands? If they have a fire, does it take 60 days to call it a fire? What is going on here? PC sensory impairment?

Last night was a plethora of virtue signaling.

You had, the Wall of Moms, Dads, Vets, Teachers (who refuse to go back to school and teach because of Covid, but think nothing of rioting). The Nurses (who weren’t worried about carrying covid back to their cancer center or nursing homes), the Construction dads, and a few other groups, all in color-coordinated t-shirts, as if it meant something. The Portland ‘witches’ too, soliciting and providing helmets, shields, goggles and gas masks - oh, and yes, also asking for money donations.

The leaders of all these ‘grassroots’ groups show just long enough for a photo-op. But they’ve all been photographed leaving just as quickly, as they rushed home to check their latest donations balance and post inflamatory twitters, accusing President Trump of being racist, fascist and ridiculing ‘law and order’; only donations to them will stop the violence. But the marxists conveniently forget about their commie credo when the money rolls in. RiotRibs, who claimed to ‘feed the homeless’ solicited upwards of $300K in donations in less than 3 weeks - and ran with the money instead of giving it to homeless organizations. When the ‘wall’ people leave, the militant gays and sexually confused take over - pretending to be ‘press’ but using the label to more closely harass the Leos with insults that would make a trucker blush.

Not one of the “wall of” groups, individually or as a block, could or would act to stop their town ferals from tearing down a new $280,000 fence last night - with chains - 5 teams of ferals and their daddies and mommies all working together to destroy.

They were ‘shocked, shocked i tell ya” that the feds gassed them and used rubber bullets to back them off. And because the feds dared to come outside to defend, they were subjected to blinding lazers, honey, glass bottles, paint, feces, liquids, plastic bottles, rocks, pipes, burning trash, traffic cones, trash cans, rockets and explosives. Until they’d had enough and pushed the mental cases three blocks out. Who loudly whined that the feds ‘left their property!’ and were ‘brutalizing them!’.

The Portland Psychos actually have the nerve to say their ‘shields’ and gas masks and explosives and lazers are defensive and not offensive.

But it is they who gather outside a fenced ‘home’ and terrorize the residents.

Portland is right on one thing - they don’t need another jail. What they need is more psych wards. Many more.

Oooooh. They “Declared a riot.” I’m sure the communist thugs were petrified. How about “Suppressing a riot.” That would require not “Standing down.”

You don’t deal with rioters by being nice to them. You deal with rioters by making it VERY unpleasant for them to remain there and to continue rioting. And you arrest the instigators and actually charge them with crimes. It’s not hard.

First the insurrectionist shoot bottle rockets, how soon to shooting RPG’s.
At that point bring out the Apaches and Warthogs. Turn the cities into Fallujah. No money to rebuild. Not one dime.

At the current rate, I see this going very differently. Cops aren't gonna do much unless it hits their neighborhood, or the mayor/Gov's house. So they'll keep doing the same thing, "protesting" around town until they finally spread out and hit a part of town they shouldn't touch. Then it's not gonna be Kent State, it'll be rooftop Koreans!

*Yes, I know this'll take a while for them to find the right place, but even Portland isn't 100% Dem idiots.

You’re right in the release problem. But there is an alternative to the actual charge of assault in Washington State.

Rather than have you read about 10 minutes of my post to get the info, here it is:

https://www.dellinolaw.com/assault-charges-in-washington-state-categories-penalties

As you can see, there are four different levels of assault with four being up to a year in jail and some dime. But the problem is that the police are not being supported by the judicial system. If the judges, mayor, governor, and prosecutors would just do their job, a whole lot of this would have either gone away from fear of prison time or gotten worse at which point the cops can use lethal force when attacked. And we’re back to my other post...less rioters...less riots.

But the obvious is that this is not for anything legit. It is for votes in November at the highest level. An unhappy voter wants change if they are unhappy and thinking anything but liberal. And both these states, Washington and Oregon, reek of liberal so much the officials here are not concerned about losing their jobs from the unhappy people that might go after Trump.

Kill the leaders. The rest will flee. Easy-peasy.

Eventually a big part of the growing “Silent Majority” is going to erupt in the sounds and smells of “cordite as a solution”...
