    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. It’s 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.

        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.

                  And again, is it worth even mentioning the inconsolable outrage of the progressives, both media and rank and file individuals, if some right-leaning group was responsible for something like this? It would be a TDS-gasm like never before seen.

                    I sure hope the mayor is using that fine, pacific northwest plywood.
                    And some big, pacific northwest 4X4's.

                            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.

                                  Please love yourself.
