Don’t worry, the rioters have a COVID vaccine.

And THAT's what we all thought, at first, Trump was doing sending the Feds into Portland.

The mobs seem to average 100 to 200 people with many of them being in reserve as onlookers while a a dozen or so do the window smashing, fire starting etc.
In the past a big city police dept. could handle this but some rough treatment was necessary. These are not Sunday picnic goers and it is insane to expect the violent mob to be subdued without some force.
The problem, in addition to protest supporting city officials, is the radical lawyers who work in conjunction with left wing judges to tie the hands of the police and reward the lawbreakers.
After the 1999 WTO protests, Seattle paid out over a million $ to protesters for the hardship of being put in plastic-tie handcuffs and made to sit on a bus for a couple of hours before being released.
I believe many of the more aggressive protesters are hoping for a similar scenario.

The mayor’s address should be posted all across town. Let the peaceful rioters see it.

The next City of Seattle election isn't until 2021. It will be another entire year before they can kick the bums out.

You miss the crux of the matter entirely. Not surprised.

Who can blame them? They can't use any tools to combat violence but they're supposed to show up and be pelted with frozen cans and risk their eyesight with lasers?

Let the g-d mayor and governor handle the crowd.

DEMS are swell and beloved by criminals and the pervs.......the taxpayers paying for all this be damned we get nothing.......get the gun out to protect the property and kids they will lock you up while they let out all the thieves so they won't get covid, but YOU will and they don't care. The world is upside down thanks to the DNC........

If anybody votes Biden they have to have rocks in the head..........watch AOC and imagine that nutball with real power!.......

No recalls? We kicked Gray Davis out on his tocus, and didn't wait till his next scheduled election to do it.
