Something always fills the gap.
Cue the warlords.
Abolish the police and repeal EVERY gun control law .... simultaneously ....
Follow the damn drug money. The fact nobody is saying this obvious fact is troubling. It’s obviously drug money behind defunding police. And pulling police from poor neighborhoods, etc.
The (virtually all-white) contingent of BLM in Rockland, ME has petitioned to have the town police dept defunded. Today, in the local paper, is a picture of the police chief and the county sheriff both taking a knee. Maybe I’m for defunding now.

They are not going to abolish the police. As long as they have been people there have been police. If they get rid of all of them on Monday, by Wednesday there will be a new bunch. They may give them a different name but there will always be police. Use your head.
Abolish liberalism and save the country
Seriously. Boo frickin’ hoo. Like the idiot woman who was more afraid about supporting “conservative critique of BLM” by speaking out than defending her own interest.
Hey moron, you deserve everything that has happened to you and a lot more.
A rabid dog doesn’t care who it bites, and there’s only one thing to do with it.
I’m a little shocked the NYT ran this. I’m sure some of their precious staff were triggered. I anticipate some firings for the editor who green lighted the article.
I’m so heartbroken that I can’t look at “Antonio Banderas’s life and career in pictures.”
What'll it take???
“Schadenfreude. You Seattle voters who put people like the Marxist Kshama Sawant in power did not believe the rhetoric they were spewing?”
Question is, did they learn anything?
How come these articles never ask this question. Who did you vote for, and are you going to vote for them again?
But that was not what he saw through the windows of his Seattle coffee shop. He saw encampments overtaking the sidewalks. He saw roving bands of masked protesters smashing windows and looting.
Young white men wielding guns would harangue customers as well as Mr. Khan, a gay man of Middle Eastern descent who moved here from Texas so he could more comfortably be out. To get into his coffee shop, he sometimes had to seek the permission of self-appointed armed guards to cross a border they had erected.
“They barricaded us all in here,” Mr. Khan said. “And they were sitting in lawn chairs with guns.”
For 23 days in June, about six blocks in the city’s Capitol Hill neighborhood were claimed by left-wing demonstrators and declared police-free. Protesters hailed it as liberation — from police oppression, from white supremacy — and a catalyst for a national movement. . . .
Now a group of local businesses owners — including a locksmith, the owner of a tattoo parlor, a mechanic, the owners of a Mexican restaurant and Mr. Khan — is suing the city. The lawsuit claims that “Seattle’s unprecedented decision to abandon and close off an entire city neighborhood, leaving it unchecked by the police, unserved by fire and emergency health services, and inaccessible to the public” resulted in enormous property damage and lost revenue. . . . The Seattle lawsuit — and interviews with shop owners in cities like Portland and Minneapolis — underscores a key question: Can businesses still rely on local governments, which are now rethinking the role of the police, to keep them safe? The issue is especially tense in Seattle, where the city government not only permitted the establishment of a police-free zone, but provided infrastructure like concrete barriers and portable toilets to sustain it.
It was supposed to be the Summer of Love!?
