No Seattle Thread?

True.

It's a 6-7 block area.
The gov. pretended he knew nothing about it, when asked yesterday.I agree, leave it alone. Any use of force in such a stupid area would backlash, again.
Only thing that might shake some sense into people, is if they decide to burn down the area. But, like roaches, they will scatter, then scurry back to wherever they came from. -

I agree. Let them out, but don't let anyone in. This will melt away when they start having to starve in their own filth.
I am reminded of how the Romans surrounded Greek city-states.
Seriously let the people of Seattle come up with a solution and ask for help if they need it. Itβs our first experiment in what the revolution has been demanding and we should let them have their way. Our only intervention should be 911 call response and obviously a fire if whoever is in charge gives the fire department permission to enter.

Like Paris under the Commune.
Probably end the same way.

The "protestors" have put up barricades around the "Autonomous Zone" to keep people out.
In Portland, the mayor is putting up a plywood wall around City Hall.
Ain't irony ironical?
Free stuff gets taken, and they cry about it.
Barriers to keep people out.
ETA: Would gated communities qualify as "autonomous zones?"

Build The Wall!

So now liberals are cheering AR-15βs?

Cut off their internet and they will be gone quite quickly.

That would be very bad.
In that 6-7 block area, is the highest concentration of doctors, lawyers, IT specialists, etc., in the whole country. Probably some college science professors as well. Those people are the backbone of our society, and you want to cut internet access? Shame.One of them did state, "our tax money pays for this" referring to the police precinct they commandeered.
I couldn't tell if he was a doctor, lawyer, IT specialist, or college professor. Although as a motorcycle guy, I did like his leather jacket. It had that well-worn look. Nothing more embarrassing than a leather jacket that looks new. You can't be a tough guy with a new leather jacket, won't work.

Two different states. Not the same government.
But yes, the overall point about protests being okay but not businesses reopening is legit and important.
