Well , we will see how these powerful women decide to work things out in their City.
I hope Trump stays out of it for now. Let these city leaders in Seattle figure out exactly how they want to handle the situation, and let the world see how liberalism operates.
And since the chief of police is a black woman , nobody can say that she’s racist with whatever actions she and her Police Department eventually get involved in.
Both are at fault, both should resign in shame as they surrendered their city, failed to defend lawful citizens and businesses, and have let domestic terrorists take over part of their city. Worse, they have not put an end to this travesty, instead arguing amongst themselves as to who is to blame. The impotent state governor should also resign as he is claiming ignorance and is failing to step up to protect the state’s citizens. Pathetic.
Weird to see an actual sanctioned state of anarchy in America.
Very important to realize that corporate America is facilitating the mayhem.
Trump needs to meet personally with the Police chief and ask her what she needs to bring order back to the city.
It would be a classic Trump troll.
The mayor and the socialist council woman should be arrested for treason and for aiding abetting an insurrection.
Perhaps the whole city council should.
Is the Chief vying for the Mayor’s job. Neither one of them is worth the powder to blow them to hell.
six-block-radius,
or six-square-blocks?
They are damned if they do and damned if they don’t. Sort of like a feckless parent in a store with an out of control toddler who refuses to leave.
If they grow a spine and try to remove them forcefully it will create more riots and play into a narrative they don’t support - law and order. They do not want to do this.
If they do nothing they will be a laughingstock and fail in their constitutional duties to protect all citizens including those inside the “occupied territory.” This will destroy the Mayor’s ambition to be governor or seek higher office because her “base” will oppose her and the rest of the state/nation will remember her for it.
It is obvious that they will try to wait this out. It is obvious that the radicals there will not leave. I am hoping that more media get in there and start interviewing the “occupation forces”, but like Lord of the Flies - it will probably deteriorate too quickly for a full season of reality television.
Wait. That whole Chazistan thing is about George Floyd?
Whatever! The rest of us don’t give a tinker’s damn anymore!
I thought they got rid of logging in Washington.
I understand that Durkin is a former US Attorney (DOJ) for part of Washington state.
Someone needs to ask her what she learned about U.S. rule of law while serving in that capacity.
The longer this goes on, the more pathetic that Seattle government and LE officials look. The governor of WishyWashington should be included in this cabal of incompetence and negligence.
The shi* has past their eyes now they are over their head’s.
The great thing about the “protests,” is that they proved that Covid-19 is not as dangerous as they claimed it was. Less than one percent of the protesters who volunteered for testing were infected — let alone came down with symptoms requiring more intensive care. But that was admittedly among a healthy population who could walk and stand for a few blocks — and not people already dying in longterm care centers and nursing homes, which were at least 50% of the deaths despite that only 1% of the population lives at such places. When you discount for those who are already in such poor condition that they will die from anything, anyway, no matter what extraordinary interventions or vaccines are utilized, then we have a more realistic idea of the panic the media is trying to propagate to keep themselves employed.
Meaningful efforts would better be directed to keeping people from having these underlying health problems — virtually all connected to obesity and the diabetic process (metabolic syndrome) — of following the dietary recommendations of the WHO and CDC to eat more carbohydrates (sugar) as often and frequently as possible — and avoiding consuming healthful essential (complete) proteins and fats — which is the perfect prescription for those vulnerabilities — while thinking that is the optimal diet for humans.
Particular attention should be paid to “prediabetes” — which are all the symptoms of diabetes without the high blood sugar thresholds at which that condition is diagnosed. That doesn’t mean that all the damage is not being done as the tissues are replaced by sugar — rather than building healthy tissue because of the elimination of these nutritional building blocks of proteins and fats. While protein and fats can be converted to energy — as needed, carbohydrates cannot build healthy cells no matter how much one consumes of them. That’s the real epidemic of misinformation and disinformation that the health care agencies and the media promotes that is the greatest health danger of the present time going forward.
Any virus, microbe, germ, bacteria, is only as great as that underlying health can respond to — as its “immunity.” That is every individual’s first line of defense — and not whatever draconian measures we should take so that the least healthy cannot die. They will, just as assuredly everybody will — when they fall into that predisposition. So this one size must fit all, no discriminations allowed manner of thinking, is the great threat to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness — which should remain the standard by which we assess any thought, word and action.
if right wing groups were the ones ‘occupying’ Seattle city blocks, how many think they would still be holding it while the city giggles and calls it a ‘block party’?
They’re still trying to call the riots “protests”?
The chief works for the mayor who was elected, he can follow her orders or resign. Seattle has been going to hell for a long time, why slow it down?
“Black Faces In High Places” is backfiring with the complete inaction of these mayors.
Women who sought those high places are now at a loss for how to deal with their own constituents.
Setting back politics for both blacks & females for a very long time, IMO.
