and now 14 arrested in seattle.
chaos in the in the usual places.
I have always wondered why they don't clear the streets and hour or two before sunset? When you look at pictures or video, it always seems to get bad under cover of darkness.
Democrats want chaos and unrest in the streets...they acquire votes this way...with rabid drooling angry libs....
The mayors of those cities and their governor are entirely to permissive, waiting entirely too long before calling a peaceful demonstration an illegal riot and not having sufficient forces in place and a plan for dealing with what their permissiveness has let loose.
True....but why?....there must be a good reason in their minds....it was to tarnish Trump but why do they let it continue now?...the answer should frighten everyone....
Never thought it was to tarnish trump, as trump (and Biden too, for that matter) do not control local policing, mayors and governor do, though it certainly did not help trump when he wanted to use federal forces without local approval or cooperation. You know I'm no trump fan, but I didn't think worse of him because there were riots in a few cities, and people were burning and stealing crap, almost with impunity.
I don't think it is continuing to spite Biden, either. It is just a general disrespect of law and civil norms in general and a total disrespect of
local law and
local authority, that will have to be dealt with as the local issue it is. I suspect rather harshly until it is stopped. Lived through the 60. Seen this before. If they employed overwhelming force to violent protests where they occurred, you would not hear me complaining, but it would need to be state and local forces as those local trouble makers have to respect the authority of the community in which they live.
Just my opinion. I do not purport to have a particularly sensitive, enlightened view point on putting down riots or rioters.
