Seattle under siege as protesters take over City Hall.

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

Their Moms won't send them more???

Sadly they probably will.... being spoiled little bitches and raised wrong led to this

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

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.

Right! I'm sure everyone "supports" being held captive by anarchist with guns (hence being fenced in).
The folks in East Germany felt much the same, I'm guessing.

Save your bullshit for the flowers. You are an authoritarian fascist. How does it feel?

Trump needs to stay out of it they are trying to bait him into sending in troops....let the people of Seattle get a taste of what they voted for....

The governor just answered one of Trump's tweets threatening to move in. Inslee replied, "Stay out of Washington". The chance that he'll ask Trump for assistance is about zero. In spite of many protests and several riots, there has been only 1 serious injury and 1 man killed by a motorist who was not part of the protests. Seattle has a long history of protests and riots and the one thing we have learned is that strong arm tactics by the police only increases the violence. When large crowds are protesting police violence, the last thing the city needs is more police violence.

What we really need are anarchists simply snatching up large swathes of the city and putting them under
their command. And extorting money from the people caught inside, don't forget.
Seattle cops haven't been particularly violent and maybe that's part of the problem (that and the city council
that are as fucked up as the rioters).

I thought this moron John Law had the stupidest take on Seattle but you probably have him beat.

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

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

The majority of people protesting have no job, working at home, or sharply reduced hours. A lot of people that go to protests are there just to see if there is any action since the city has barely started to open there's not much to do. If please show up dressed in battle gear, the crowds will grow. Often someone with throw something at the police to get some action. That's why it's best for the police to take a very low profile util there is some real violence.

Are you that dumb or that dishonest? These aren't a bunch of partying college students in control of several blocks of the city of Seattle.
One way or the other Jay Inslee is forcing a showdown. He's responsible for whatever blood is shed from here on in. This is leftist idiocy for everyone to see.

I'll be anxious to see how the media whitewashes this.

These morons are actually holding people hostage. There are reports they are extorting money from some.
This isn't a college prank.

In one of the very first protests, trouble broke out and there was no police presence. The next night the police were there in numbers before anything started dressed for a battle with tear gas, batons. and shields. The result was about a number protesters and police injured in a riot and over 60 stores looted and damaged. The police made the situation worse not better.

By your "logic" police should just withdraw completely and cede the entire city to the revolutionaries.
Can you find any flaws at all in your thinking?

Did you read the part about people being held hostage? Just curious.

The governors can deploy the National Guard under their command, but their states pay for it. If Trump deploys them the federal government pays for it.

More misinformation. Nothing locally about hostages. The police can take control of the area easily but not without violence. The mayor and city council decided the area was to be an autonomous zone (about 2 blocks). The protesters can occupy the area and protest so long it does not become violent. The city put in porta potties and drinking water. Some local merchants are making food available. I just talked to a friend that lives in Capital Hills not far from the police station. She said there are only a few protesters now as you see in the picture below, not more than 20 or 30. I understand there was band playing in street last night. A few days ago when the police were there there're were hundreds of protestors. With police staying away there are no large crowds. There are police in area but no riot control. They answer emergency calls only.

Build a wall around Seattle. No one deserves this more than NW white people.

Hey, don't be blaming all of Washingtonians for this mess. It's all Seattle's problem. Seattle/King County has the largest population in the state and THEY voted Democrat, forcing the rest of the state to be labeled as such. And that's because of the Californicators moving here for decades.

Seattle is getting what they wanted and voted for and serves em right. ...…….but leave the rest of us out of it

Children often claim to want to do whatever they want, but the truth is that children crave order. Children thrive under rules, and consistency. Seattle is not doing these children any favors. It's only going to hurt that much more when they have to be brought to heel. Weakness breeds insecurity. Insecurity breeds fear. Fear breeds aggression. Aggression breeds violence. Violence requires a response.

A bit of an exaggeration. It's not the whole city. It's basically about two blocks. Before the police moved out it was a daily riot attracting criminals and outside exaggerators. Now it's peacefully. What has emerged is an experiment in life without the police. part street festival, part commune. Hundreds have gathered to hear speeches, poetry and music. On Tuesday night, dozens of people sat in the middle of an intersection to watch “13th,” the Ava DuVernay film about the criminal justice system’s impact on African-Americans. On Wednesday, children made chalk drawings in the street.

If this little experiment works, it may well change the way policing is done in this country. Having a police force that is there to actually protect and serve may be more appropriate than an army of modern day storm troopers.

Then its left to the people of the state to decide if they have a responsible government....

Armed occupations aren't "peaceful protests", shitferbrains.

Yep that's the way the founders saw it.

Trump has discovered this new tactic. He claims that he's going to fix a problem by doing something that he knows is unconstitutional or illegal such as sending federal troops into a state to do the job of police even thou the state goverment says no. Of course, he doesn't do it but it pleases his supporters. It makes him look like a courageous fighter in their eyes. To the rest of us, it makes him look stupid.

So, for you, ANTIFA and other anarchists taking control of a part of a city, using armed guards and extorting money from the residence is all fine and dandy. Wow...just WOW!

One flashing a gang sign, the other I don't recognize. What could go wrong?
