If We Let Seattle Go, Would You Even Miss it?

The problem with doing nothing is potential spread. CHAZ is a single cell gone wrong. Stop it before it infects others

Yep, why not let the termites have a few boards underneath your house? For cities that cannot elect responsible/competent governments, maybe some kind of federal government should step in, like in the south after reconstruction. Station troops in the area to back up the federal government while the locals relearn how to govern themselves. Anarchy cannot be ignored.

March them to the nearest Gates Laboratory for human studies.

Let it go, and when the Red Chinese begin sending in AK-47s, we destroy it uterly and salt the earth it stands on.

I guess this article is meant to be semi humorous. It’s not just a matter of giving away Washington’s armpit, it’s rule of law.

I wouldn’t miss it. But turning it over to the marxist organizers would allow them to spread their influence over a wider area.

This will end as the marxists get tired and mom/dad stop sending money, but everyone will forget about it, and it will spring up again.

I would t miss it but those who own property or have family there might

[Mom MD]

are you posting this screed on every thread? talk about spam

[Carriage Hill]

We haven’t seen anything yet; this is just a tune-up. Wait until Nov 3rd rolls around and POTUS is re-elected. Be prepared for it.

It could well be the best way to handle these morons is simply to monitor their activities, gather evidence of their crimes, and prepare to apprehend and prosecute them. Meanwhile, I think they’ve pretty much boxed themselves into a losing situation, and it won’t be long before they disband and go slithering back into their Mommies’ basements!

Be honest, if we let the mutant mob have Seattle, would you really miss it?

No. In fact; I have been to both the Space Needle and the CN Tower in Toronto. The Space Needle is a runt.

Maybe they’ll burn down Microsoft.

So now President Trump can demand tariffs on any exports to CHAZ/CHUD. Maybe we can recover from the economic problems this year has brought.

There’s lots of places I wouldn’t miss, but unless most US citizens are willing to dissolve the U.S.A. , then we don’t just let portions of the country declare independence. I thought there was a big war about that somewhere in the distant past.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

They’d need a new name, obviously.

Shitholia springs to mind.

Interesting map, but my “solution” (uh, yeah) is to move all the achipelagites (?) into a single area. Give them whatever state they want. One state. Locate every last one of them there and...end all friendly relations. They become their own country. They must figure things out for themselves.

If we’re talking 75 million folks, so be it. As it stands now, we are no longer a united country. Took a long time, but it has come. Can you make any headway talking to a lib these days? Do you find yourself sharing common ground with Leftists when it comes to...well, anything? Do you see anything presented in today’s media that even remotely expresses your take on current events? If you were to go into today’s college classroom for the purposes of determining whether or not you’d want your children to attend, would you feel confident in opting for the education they provide? Does popular culture, its music, its movies, its “idols” express things you can sign on to?

We are two separate peoples separated by two separate ideologies that can no longer co-exist. Each perceives the other to be a direct threat to everything they believe.

I have such good memories of Seattle in the ‘70s and ‘80s, and we’d visit often. It’s a shame it had to come to this. We’d visit from Alaska, and the guys would go to football games while we shopped at South Center. There was no sales tax in AK then (might be now), so when we landed at the airport there was a kiosk where you could get a tax exempt card and shop like crazy at their stores. They had some great restaurants, and we loved the Olympic Hotel. Now it sounds like total crap. The Pacific NW is gorgeous!

I worked there on a contract in the mid-90s. Stayed in an apartment down by Elliott Bay and walked to the office in Rainier Tower (the "Beaver Building"). Loved it, such a beautiful part of the country.

Sad what's become of it.

Both in Seattle and Washington DC these “sit-ins” look like and their speakers sound an awful lot like ACORN.....

[MortMan]

If one place is allowed to be taken hostage, we have ceased to be a nation.

[caww]

The overall dynamic operating in the streets they’re taking over is a familiar one...recall when ACORN (Association of Community Organization for Reform Now)... spread across the country by staging demonstrations, sit-ins and confrontational protests.

The Black protesters don’t get that their protests are quickly being hijaced by others.....and this by the ususal suspects.
