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

Do not help them in any way. Let them implode and collapse. Then, maybe those stupid, stupid voters might see the error of their ways.

Read Das Kapital and the Communist Manifesto:

Only the revolutionaries, like the infamous Red Guard, that prop up the party are permitted to be armed. The police are seen as a part of the bourgeoisie and must be dismantled. Disarming the police is part of the socialist manual.

Seattle police are under federal supervision. Maybe this is their plan to get out of that supervision.

Most won’t. Those who can will simply flee. The rest will continue to believe the lies of the socialists in their midst and hate the right as the scapegoats they are. Then totalitarianism can take hold.

They need to be forcibly removed from office - NOW.

The Antifa and BLM people just might do that.

This should force the locals to move. With that mentality, what do you think is going to happen to lawful citizens who defend themselves?

As long as it does not affect interstate commerce, it’s not a federal issue. Nor should the feds spend even a single penny to rebuild. As long as the “violence and anarchy” is limited to the inside the city limits, let Seattle burn.

Marxist ruled Democrat cities will become 21st century ghost towns inhabited by the strange and the deranged. Commercial and residential real estate values are already dropping daily and most of the cities are losing population.

If they survive the violence, they will either be arrested by whatever force the mob conjures up, or the mob will come for blood and take out their revenge. I’m merely going by history and my understanding of human nature. Just because we are American’s does not somehow inoculate us from the sins and immorality of what humans inflict on others throughout history and the world. Without rule of law, mob rule takes over.

Nature abhors a vacuum. So the rich folks will hire armed private security. The poor folks might get some version of the Muslim Community Patrol (it already exists in NYC).
