Insane: Seattle Moves to Abolish Entire Police Force [second thread]

Well, it may be time to deploy the military to Seattle after all because what local lawmakers are doing is nothing short of allowing the city to be engulfed in violence and anarchy. They’re moving to abolish the police. It’s not defunding. It’s a total dissolution. Non-profit programs and “community-led activities” will replace policing. Why? Well, according to the resolution, the Seattle Police Department perpetuates racism and violence. Oh, yes, and it’s a vehicle of white supremacy. It's typical 'woke' nonsense

Wonderful! Now the city can be run by thugs and warlords. I hope the first thing they do is hang every member of the city government.

Exactly. Trump should stay out of this one, and make this a campaign issue. Force the dems to divide into supporters/opponents. It will be fun the see Biden take all sides at once.

Or.....Trump could just sign an executive order giving Seattle back to the Indians.

Not for the first crime - then they’ll get lynched. A few high profile ones and no more self-defense.

Talk about a “sanctuary city” for every criminal enterprise in the country. Good, wall them in.

My take as well, and I still have friends there. This is one of those "Your purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others" moments. When the brat tells you "I'm going to hit myself on the head with this hammer, just try to stop me," the best thing to do is let him.

Amazon and starbux are there. Both promote leftism. What poetic justice if they come to regret being located in a city that’s not just liberal, but totally and completely insanely liberal.
The city fathers/mothers won’t lift a finger, and it will serve the corporations right.

Sharkansky nails every aspect of the fraud. His work is at least a week’s study. It’s worth it if you are an electionworker but even if you are, if you are in a blue or purple district, you may find there is nothing you can do to stop the fraud as the Left controls the elections offices, the courts of jurisdiction near them, the money, the city and town councils, the local college indoctrination peocess by which leftist workers are recruited. This is Marxist infiltration pure and simple, taking place slowly over decades.

One example, vote ballots are bagged and tagged by felons on parole or work release and monitored constantly by a group of leftist parole officers. The convicts better do exactly as they are told and keep their mouths shut if they know what is good for them. Many of the parole officers were recruited by leftists and their careers, salaries and promotions are dependent on how well they adhere to the agenda cut out for them. Same with staff and judges in the court system and jails. The leftist cult runs deep into government. Those employees that are ‘moderate’ are passed over, those that are conservative are driven out.

The bottom line is that ballots come out of the woodwork to elect whoever the Left wants to elect. The voting public doesn’t stand a chance.

For details into every nook and cranny of the horror, study Sharkansky and those that have joined him over the years.

WA voters need to fix this.
This has been going on since the 90’s with the WTO anarchy protests.
If they don’t the next thing which is going to get implemented is a State Income Tax and its going to be big

The term white privilege was invented out of thin air by Peggy McIntosh, a feminist and socialist activist in a paper she wrote in 1988.

There was no study to determine the validity of that term prior to that point in time, and till this day there is no research behind it except for the left repeating the term and concept ten million times trying to convince the world that it is true.

Again, there are no studies that eliminate the other factors, (not finishing school, arrest history, being involved in gang activities, no fathers in the home, ect), and isolate this belief to back up this invented social situation. Instead local minority cultures have taken the stance that all of their problems exist because of white privilege allowing them to shed all responsibilities for their own collective and individual failures and bad choices.

White privilege does not figure into the fact that 3.5% of our population, young black males, account for 53.5% of our firearm homicides and firearms assaults in this nation. Nor does White Privilege cause these firearms attacks, by young democrats, (per holder and obama), to happen almost exclusively in large cities that have been completely governed by democrats for the last 60 years. These gun assaults and murders are happening in cultures that were planted, nurtured, and grown to maturity by blacks in the exact manner that they saw fit. The blacks in those areas own the violence statistics that they have cultivated and allowed to happen.

Blaming Whites for your own irresponsible decisions, and criminal lifestyle has become the thing to do for blacks but I and many others are not buying that BS.

Not at all.

I stand accountable for all of my actions and choices in life that way when I screw up I can and do change things to arrive at a different and successful ending situation in the future.

I take care of, educate, house, feed, and clothe my children, each and every one of them. I do not put the responsibility of children I bring into this world onto other people.

Not one of my children have ever been arrested or shot at.

All of this, and I’m not even white......

A sequel to the Perry Como version:
( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcMD3LWUwD8 )

The blackest skies, filled with smoke are in Seattle
And the streets are red with blood in Seattle
Like insanity’s child,
tearing down, going wild
Full of shouts and full of jeers,
mocking laughter, making fears
Full of nightmares lasting years
In Seattle
In Seattle

It must suck to be up to your eyeballs in commercial real estate, especially downtown Seattle.
