Pardon my ignorance, but doesn't the governor of Washington State have power to send his National Guards? Why involve the President at this time?
Yep, it's their call.
Seattle and Portland have been a liberal meca and home to ANTIFA for years. Police and local officials should have stomped their antics out long ago. Let it burn.
If not stopped and soon then bad precedent is set. Which city will be be writing off next?
Let them have the whole city. The rest of the country will see what they get with progressives and leftists.
In normal times, there would be tremendous public pressure to suppress riots in large urban centers. This pressure wouldn't just come from many of the people who live there, but from the suburbanites who live elsewhere and commute to the cities for work.
Most commuters from the suburbs have been working from home (or not working at all) during the COVID-19 lockdowns. Many of them have no interest in going back to work in the cities at all.
On top of all that, the recent gentrification efforts in most large U.S. cities have brought a large number of very wealthy people back into these cities from the suburbs. In the aftermath of COVID-19 many of these folks have already fled, or are making plans to get the hell out as soon as they can.
As a result of all this, there are many, many people who simply don't give a sh!t about what happens in our cities anymore.
Count me among them.
Mama used to tell me.... Be careful what you ask for.... you might just get it..
POTUS told the mayor to take control and restore order or he will
“a seven-block area in central Seattle.”
Sanctuary (lawless) cities next?
Agree with the article to the letter. At some point the insurrection will be in shambles within the “Zone” This Raz freak will list some watered down demands that the Mayor will lap up to end it. Hopefully the Feds will be there with a Federal indictment in hand and these ring leaders never see the light of day again. Hopefully they can arrest that Indian communist on the city council for something as well.
Cordon off the area. No one in or out. Cut off supply lines
Back in 1919, Seattle was plagued by riots led by the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), an anarcho-syndicalist union. However, Mayor Floyd Olsen was made of far sterner stuff than the current mayor. He instituted a harsh crackdown and crushed the IWW.
Olsen would later found the city of San Clemente, Calif.
I think we should NOT post defeat articles and plant THAT thought without people realizing it.
THAT'S psyops and should be exposed and discouraged.
If being vigilant makes me a vigilante, well phuque it ... THA'S ME !
That exactly what I said last night.
Let them stew in the soup they have created.
There are two important points that seem to be missing from the discussions I’ve seen about what’s happening in Seattle.
First of all the Constitution guarantees every citizen of the United States a Republican form of government. This includes those citizens who are unfortunate enough to reside in this occupied territory. American citizens living in the United States of America can not allowed to be subject to the authority of a rapper/warlord.
Second of all the Governor of Washington, Seattle’s mayor and its city council are all on the side of Antifa and support what’s taking place in the occupied territory. Do we really expect them to take action to assure the constitutional rights of people who live in CHAZ?
Before president Trump takes the necessary step of removing the Antifa agitators who have seized territory within our country, he is going to have to remove the governor of Washington and the mayor and city council of Seattle.
I agree with the title. hell with them. They got their selves into it. Let them get themselves out.
Do you remember the movie A Day without Mexicans basically underscoring the hardship one faces when there are no folks south of the border to work service jobs here. Well, the police nationally might want to consider an announced one day walkout, A Day without Police, and the defund advocates can figure out how much they want to cut while their cities burn that day.
Seattle wants to be Madison, Wisconsin.
I say....Let ‘em Crash!
Yesterday a reported asked the governor about what was going on in Seattle. He said he didn’t know anything about it.
If retaking those seven blocks isn’t a priority for the city of Seattle, why would it be for the federal government?
