Wallace (RAT governor) didn’t want, or ask for troops, but he got them. “On June 10, 1963, President John F. Kennedy FEDERALIZED NATIONAL GUARD troops and deployed them to the University of Alabama to force its desegregation.”

bad precedent was already set with rioters causing 1/2 a billion dollars damage the first night.

riots must be stopped, not allowed to burn out, but be stopped.

the people need to know they are safe, not afraid of a mob for the rest of their lives because a weak response was .shown.

“one of the WSB TV reporters said ‘I think there are people here from out of town.’”

A FReeper posted yesterday that he knows someone who works at the Minneapolis airport and flights of thugs were landing there. True? IDK. Just what I read here.

Our side can’t be the one that sets that off

...facts be damned, the media will spin it that the good guys started the shooting. Count on it

Stop the astroturfing buses...fly microphones...find the leaders, take them into custody...and for goodness sake, why is it so hard seemingly to get Soros-paid money under control???

So let’s let the thugs riot indiscriminately and burn down our cities? With the current siege I don’t think too many people would be upset if a couple rioters find themselves dead.

I say position them close to the area as a warning. Cut off essential services (electric, water etc) except for a 5-8 hour window everyday.

Perhaps a battalion of Marines would be better. It worked in Fallujah.

if you arrest them all, people will realize they will be arrested.

Arresting only the leaders will bring more leaders

There is no polite answer to this

The riots must be stopped with full force and law and order restored

Here in ATL, last night at about 2302 one of the WSB TV reporters said “I think there are people here from out of town.” It was a interesting moment for sure.

John Justice, from KTLK, Twin Cities News Talk, was just interviewed on local radio WBAL in Baltimore. He said that busloads are arriving in Minneapolis. When asked if he thought they were protesters or rioters, he answered ... rioters.

It’s too bad that the left has been OK with AntiFA as long as they were disrupting and attacking conservative speakers and gatherings. They could have been arrested individually and stopped in their influence several years ago.

At some point, this is no longer going to be about making arrests.

Overwhelming force may become necessary to protect life and property.

Escalating the violence to get to that point seems to be intent of whoever is organizing this.

Not familiar With protocol but once federal troops go in does the governor have first say or does he relinquished his control?
