Now he’s got something he can use when he is posing for his progressive high-minded friends at dinner parties this weekend.

Cops, citizens, and buildings are at increased risk, but the mayor will get the attention he wants.

I’m thinking a different artistic approach...More dystopian.

The famous piece called “Garden of Earthly Delights” by
Hieronymus Bosch comes to mind.

This is truly bizarre. We are seeing a mayor encouraging antifa and BLM rioters to resist law and order and overthrow his own office and city. At what point will this become unbearable, if it has not already?

This is why there are continual riots in Portland and none in Detroit despite Detroit being much poorer and having more minorities. The people who are supposedly rioting.

In Detroit the mayor and the chief of police have decided they are not going to have it. If you do a day time peaceful protest, no problem. You do a night riot they will land on you like a ton of bricks.

And then there is the gun situation. In Detroit people carry. And they will shoot you. And then though the media may wail the rest of the city will shrug and say it served you right.

In 1933, Hermann Goering was appointed Minister of the Interior (i.e., Police Commissioner) of Prussia. One of Goering’s first innovations was a radical change in the priorities of police, including specific restrictions of police activities. The novelty of Goering’s approach was that he departed from the socialist tradition of demanding the abolition of the police, which was first proposed by Vladimir Lenin a quarter of a century before the described events in his article “April Theses” of 1917.

That would be the best - I’m not sure he would even respond. He is totally deranged.

“Is the CS gas causing periods? Does Wheeler’s ****sy hurt?”

Funny you say this. Mark Steyn talked about a tranny, female to male, that complained bitterly that the CS gas caused it to menstruate for the first time in three years. And, demanded that the gas not be allowed to be used at all.

Orders which are totally wrong and goes against what is needed for a particular situation should be ignored and it is legal to do so

I’m trying to move out of this joint...getting place ready to list and was waiting for plumber to come today and they had to cancel because so many of their employees had to go home to evacuate due to the fires.

One thing after another here! I’ve had it.

Yep...we had a similar rule when I worked in NY State Corrections. If you believed an order given was unlawful because it could lead to your injury, or the injury of others, you had the right to refuse to obey it. Of course you’d have to prove it was unlawful later, but the fact that Wheeler is taking away an effective tool to control and disperse dangerous crowds is, as far as I’m concerned, an unlawful order.

Unfortunately for the Mayor the police decided to store all the not-used tear gas grenades in the Mayor’s office. The pins are stored at the warehouse.

Oregon is in under a fire conflagration order by the governor. It is suspected domestic terrorists are starting some of the fires. This punk mayor is diverting resources to his problem by allowing this to go on daily for over 3 months.
