Seattle under siege as protesters take over City Hall.

[JLW]

An illegal block party is no reason to call out the National Guard. When their allowances run out most will go home.

And for the residents caught in the middle of this "block party"? Your post may be the dumbest mother fcker
of all time.

Get off the panic mode. From what I have read things have settled down and is rather peaceful now. From what I am reading the community is, for the most part, supporting them. Sorry, Hoss, but your getting your panties in a bunch for nothing at this time. If circumstances change then other options may need to be considered.

Time for the feds to withdraw air traffic control from SEA-TAC and let the mob sort it out.

I have to laugh at all these Trumpers having great panic over this Seattle protest. Here is a recent picture:

Looks more like a block party than an “insurrection” or whatever fantasizes the right is having.

My advice..get off panic mode.

An illegal block party....the homeless they invited in to increase their numbers stole their food and booze so now they are tweeting for vegan food.....Buuuuaaaaahahahahahahahahaha

That's not funny.

 

[Wapasha]

No let's not bail them out. Let Seattle stew in it's Antifa juices for awhile.

Let the city burn then. If the local government and it's citizens are okay with this lawlessness, let them have it.

Seattle is already a sanctuary city, this is just the next step towards their grand plan towards creating their leftest anarchist Utopia.

Can we do one on your block?.....

 

[Wapasha]

Where the hell is the National Guard?

The governor has to request it...states rights you know.

The pessimist in me worries that the plan is to just allow the violence and lawlessness to continue, in hopes Trump will send in the military.

I don't want Trump to send in the military / national guard. They are not trained to deal with civilian protests. I know that those antifa freaks, and the BLM fools, will make it their mission to initiate a violent confrontation with the military. If there have been a few police officer who have lost their composure, and they are trained, you can imagine how easy it will be to force an altercation with an untrained 19 year old Army private

Most have no where to go. Many millions of jobs aren't going to be coming back.

Dear Boeing....Move to the South. A new beginning!!! Get out of the new self imposed Eastern Europe version of America! Their real wealth will drop.

The Guard could go in to escort out anyone living in the area who doesn't want to be trapped in there with these assholes. Then, take your time unloading every canister of tear gas on the West Coast and testing every new, perhaps experimental, nonlethal form of discouragement. Turn off the water, gas, electric, and no food allowed inside the perimeter. Couple of weeks at most.

I agree 100%.

If Trump calls up the NG or military they will use their lackeys in the media to blame everything on Trump. Hell, they already are.

They are sacrificing their own citizens in hopes of giving Trump a black eye...and Trump hasn't taken the bait (he's threatened to...but that's only to FORCE attention to it).

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

Yeah this won't last long.

I'm hoping Trump is waiting for the governor to make an official request for the NG.

True. Anyone who is worried about violent protesters burning down cities is weird. That could never happen.

The idiot Governor still in denial....

Remembering when armed right-wing protesters stormed the Michigan state house, and Trump-cultists cheered? I sure do. Cry me a fucking river, asshole

Cute try!

The armed protesters were all checked by the police, even their temperatures were taken and 100 were allowed inside. No damage was done and no one fired a gun. They left the state house as they had found it.

So, in your opinion, we should just let ANTIFA and the other anarchists just take over portions of our cities and allow them to make up their own rules.

Demands from your "block party".

THE DEMANDS OF THE COLLECTIVE BLACK VOICES AT FREE CAPITOL HILL TO THE GOVERNMENT OF SEATTLE, WASHINGTON
[...]

1. The Seattle Police Department and attached court system are beyond reform. We do not request reform, we demand abolition. We demand that the Seattle Council and the Mayor defund and abolish the Seattle Police Department and the attached Criminal Justice Apparatus. This means 100% of funding, including existing pensions for Seattle Police. At an equal level of priority we also demand that the city disallow the operations of ICE in the city of Seattle.
2. In the transitionary period between now and the dismantlement of the Seattle Police Department, we demand that the use of armed force be banned entirely. No guns, no batons, no riot shields, no chemical weapons, especially against those exercising their First Amendment right as Americans to protest.
3. We demand an end to the school-to-prison pipeline and the abolition of youth jails. Get kids out of prison, get cops out of schools. We also demand that the new youth prison being built in Seattle currently be repurposed.
4. We demand that not the City government, nor the State government, but that the Federal government launch a full-scale investigation into past and current cases of police brutality in Seattle and Washington, as well as the re-opening of all closed cases reported to the Office of Police Accountability. In particular, we demand that cases particular to Seattle and Washington be reopened where no justice has been served, namely the cases of Iosia Faletogo, Damarius Butts, Isaiah Obet, Tommy Le, Shaun Fuhr, and Charleena Lyles.
5. We demand reparations for victims of police brutality, in a form to be determined.
6. We demand that the City of Seattle make the names of officers involved in police brutality a matter of public record. Anonymity should not even be a privilege in public service.
7. We demand a retrial of all People in Color currently serving a prison sentence for violent crime, by a jury of their peers in their community.

[...]

Given the historical moment, we’ll begin with our demands pertaining to the Justice System.

1. The Seattle Police Department and attached court system are beyond reform. We do not request reform, we demand abolition. We demand that the Seattle Council and the Mayor defund and abolish the Seattle Police Department and the attached Criminal Justice Apparatus. This means 100% of funding, including existing pensions for Seattle Police. At an equal level of priority we also demand that the city disallow the operations of ICE in the city of Seattle.
2. In the transitionary period between now and the dismantlement of the Seattle Police Department, we demand that the use of armed force be banned entirely.

3. We demand an end to the school-to-prison pipeline and the abolition of youth jails. Get kids out of prison, get cops out of schools. We also demand that the new youth prison being built in Seattle currently be repurposed.

[...]
Related to economic demands, we also have demands pertaining to what we would formally call “Health and Human Services.”

1. We demand the hospitals and care facilities of Seattle employ black doctors and nurses specifically to help care for black patients.
2. We demand the people of Seattle seek out and proudly support Black-owned businesses. Your money is our power and sustainability.

[...]
Finally, let us now address our demands regarding the education system in the City of Seattle and State of Washington.

1. We demand that the history of Black and Native Americans be given a significantly greater focus in the Washington State education curriculum.
2. We demand that thorough anti-bias training become a legal requirement for all jobs in the education system, as well as in the medical profession and in mass media.

THE DEMANDS OF THE COLLECTIVE BLACK VOICES AT FREE CAPITOL HILL TO THE GOVERNMENT OF SEATTLE…

In credit to the people who freed Capitol Hill, this list of demands is neither brief nor simplistic. This is no simple request to end…
