“Hopefully zero. We don’t need any more good guys dead or in jail.”
I agree. Don’t get drawn into the enemy’s kill zone. The democrat cities are not the place to join the battle.
I’m conflicted on this issue. On one hand, yes, it’s the ‘enemy zone’ but, doesn’t that negate the voice of the suburbs, who are part of the city (i.e., workers, shoppers, etc)? (and, thinking of the proposed legislation shot down by Trump that would force suburbs to high-density model themselves as mini-cities, with all the ADA, AFA, rules of a large city, and being taxed to pay tribute payments to the larger city)
are cities only for those who have physical residences within the city limits? so what about the antifa that live in the suburbs and travel downtown?
Should a city be abandoned to those who expect kneeling, ‘black power’ fists to be raised, chants to be repeated? Where if businesses don’t ‘give us free stuff’ they can be vandalized? Or, on a single rumor, storm an apartment building at midnight, knocking on doors demanding to know who lives in what apartment that may have thrown an object at the protestors (eggs)? (This is basically the platform of the current mayoral challenger who wants to turn Portland into a militant BIPOC and tranny run metropolis where ‘albinos’ are second-class citizens there to serve the needs of the mentally ill.) Where raising an American flag is a ‘trigger’ that warrants a beat-down?
and then there’s the pro-police demonstrations outside of the city limits - that antifa feel they have a right to travel to disrupt...
where is the middle ground? What happened to people having daytime protests that opposing people ignore? why does every march either have to uplift ‘black power’ ‘support the felons’, or be crashed by the same?
