protestors demand whites "give back" gentrified houses (Seattle: renting, price)

[dcisive]

I'm not even a betting man, but my money would be on the fact the Lib's will NOT ever wake up. They are going to be witness to the worst movement towards the piece by piece destruction of their city. And they are NOT alone. Chicago was already a steaming toilet but is now quickly festering into a heap of dung. All the quality businesses are being laid to waste. And soon enough you folks will see worse things happen than what has to date so far. it is a very sad thing. But let's face it.......it's been coming for quite some time. It just took the events of this last 6 months to take it over the top. Sadly the momentum is certainly in the wrong direction. Rather sad as I used to enjoy visiting the NW back some years ago. It ain't happening any more.

She also told me that Colombia City was the old Italian area too.

Anyway, this isn’t surprising and it’s only the beginning of things to come if people... Liberals and Conservatives don’t get their collective “sheet” together and start focusing on common sense solutions to our problems. Hint, defunding or disbanding the police isn’t a realistic solution to this situation and for Liberals living in the CD, Mt. Baker, Columbia City and other “good” areas... This IS coming to YOUR neighborhood... Very soon, so don’t get too happy. Criminals are not stupid and trust me, these and other areas will be targeted, at first, with property crimes and some violence, which will escalate very quickly. The main focus of targeting these areas is that Liberals, for the most part, are passive and will not resist, if being robbed. A bonus to any criminal... Hopefully, they will only take your “stuff” and not your wife or daughters or yours and theirs lives.

Plus, Liberals are not known for being armed... Which is another bonus for criminals.

This is changing since Liberals, who will not admit it since “it’s not the Liberal way,” are now buying up all the guns in the Seattle area!! But being armed, isn’t the same as having the heart and training to legally use a firearm, in one’s defense.

Trust me, most of those “peaceful protestors” are not peaceful and are now turning on the Liberals, who at first, gave them the “green light” to use violence and destruction, as a means of forcing social change... Just remember this, the “monster” YOU created will come for YOU first.

So it’s time for Liberals to wake the hell up before it’s too late.

Geez ... those darn passive, monster-creating, criminal-loving liberals!!!

I guess trying to eliminate or cut number of police officers will make things easier for the terrorists.

And here's another one they don't seem to have thought about; what are the mixed race people supposed to do? Many blacks have a fair percentage of white in them and I'm pretty sure most Native Americans have more white blood than they do Native blood. Maybe they should cut themselves in half and live in two different houses?

Hmm, decisions, decisions. What to do.

Then there's the fact that bears were here first, even before Native Americans. They are the true Native Americans, so we should all go back to Africa and give our houses to the bears. That will fix everything.

Koala, how could you be so insensitive? Bearification uprooted the native dinosaurs.

Hmmmm ok. A bunch of white people show up to a majority black neighborhood asking the black people to leave as this was a traditionally white neighborhood that blacks moved in to

Oh no.. I was imagining a WAY different context!

"you know this ___ has traditionally been an al ___ neighborhood"

I wrote something similar (but in loftier terms) in paper freshman year of undergrad. I was comparing Dallas's and Austin's use of zoning laws to move/displace minorities from one neighborhood to another (often less desirable). Here is the example I used:

So yes, in my paper I wrote that "you know the area just west of UT-Austin had traditionally been an all Black neighborhood".

Clearly the context you used is quite different!

that's the type of reaction your post is reminiscent of

I suppose this is an example of a largely peaceful protest:

'Even after police officers ordered the crowd to disperse, people from the group allegedly began throwing bottles and rocks at them.

"Multiple explosives were thrown toward officers,” the press release stated. “Several officers were struck by explosives and injured.” '


Because, of course, peaceful protesters often carry explosives around.

Shame on you! Fox news is fake garbage and only racist propaganda comes from it.

Here is the REAL truth:
