RE: While my friends on social media are clamoring for the president to send in the National Guard and reclaim the city

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?

"Pardon my ignorance, but doesn't the governor of Washington State have power to send his National Guards?"

Yesterday a reporter asked Inslee about the takeover, and he claimed to have not even heard about it. That's understandable if he gets his info from the Seattle Times. I saw nothing about it on their website on Tuesday or Wednesday, and nothing in the Wednesday paper edition, which devoted two full pages to St. George Floyd - " a father, a son, a friend who wanted 'to touch the world.'" (Times front-page headline.)

I'm also wondering where the FBI is. Based on the statements of the organizers, this "free zone" sounds like an act of insurrection against the United States - they are basically declaring themselves an independent nation.

During a pre-dawn raid staged for TV cameras, the FBI sent 15 or 20 heavily armed agents to arrest 70-year-old Roger Stone, an unarmed man charged with lying about a couple of emails. Where are those tough guys NOW?

I propose sending in the Army to:

1) create a ring of control around the area - seal off all entrances and exits. Concertina wire fenses, etc.

2) Leave one and only one exit. That exit should limit the flow outbound to one at a time. Have cameras and finger print readers at the exit. Stop all who are exiting for photographs and finger prints. Document their presence. Arrest those who will not identify.

3) Notify those in the “zone” that they will have X hours to leave and if they do so by then, they will only be documented at the exit point. However, if they do not leave by the time limit, they will be arrested at the exit point.

4) Enforce the fence with water cannons, pepper spray, rubber bullets, and even baynets if needed to prevent a breach of the fense

5) Nothing in - only those who surrender for arrest allowed out

6) wait

I believe that they think of him (Trump) because he is the only adult in the room. The mayor, the city council, the Washington state patrol, and the governor are all feckless moronic leftists, unable to tie their own shoelaces.
