National Protest and 'disband the cops' discussion (and now ICE)

[R.Caerbannog]

I grew up in eastern Washington. There’s some decent parts around, but you could donate it to northern Idaho and I don’t think it would be missed.

Like I said, we travel in very different socioeconomic circles. If Seattle and it's ideals were so great people wouldn't be fleeing it.

Or you’re just wrong, and what you consider your “socioeconomic” group of friends is just an echo chamber...

Seattle is a cool city. Beautiful. Plenty of decent people. Plenty of idiots. Same as Austin, Gainesville, Boston, Savannah... every other American city. None of which I “want to see burn.”

You rant about the left tearing the country apart. Maybe it’s not just them. Maybe you’re part of the problem, with your demonization of your fellow citizens.

I don't know about "burning" but many many many people in most of the state do not agree with the policies of Olympia and Seattle as seen by the amount of Sheriffs that openly do not enforce the new gun laws.

Update to the Seattle Shituation. A Councilwoman decided to open up City Hall to protesters last night.

Seattle protesters storm City Hall, demand mayor resign after driving police out of area, declaring autonomous zone

Then say that. I’m tired of the hyperbole.

I feel like a lot of folks that live in Seattle have some serious cognitive dissonance. Driving around and immediately seeing how bad their homelessness problem is and being told that they don't think there's a problem. The place is a cesspool for growing fringe groups like Antifa/Occupy/Black Bloc. Cool city? sure..

General question, how many of you have previously said "Can't wait for California to fall into the sea in the next Earthquake". It's a pretty similar sentiment with that, a bit more serious without an /s or an emoji for sure.

There's a difference between socioeconomic and social circles.

As for 'burn', I should have specified to the idiocy going on in the 'CHAZ' area and the permissive idiots that let Seattle fester. State is effectively held hostage by leftist citiot politicians.

Arson, rioting, looting, killing, etc, over a farce makes for a dim view of my 'fellow citizens'. A better term for them would be useful idiots.

I don’t think I’ve ever railed against California. Maybe I have, I’m not going to look back through my search history.

I get pretty tired of those comments. You are correct, people do make remarks like that. I think they’re shitty, regardless of the state.

/Raises hand. I'm an insensitive prick remember.

On a side note. You guys need to watch "The Hunt" You will enjoy it.

Definitely guilty of that, if not here then in private. Though I'm hearing that the rest of CA is pretty much held hostage by the cities uber corrupt liberal politicians.

Read the synopsis... it seems fitting considering the situation being played out across the country.

I agree with you. We should never wish death, or injury, or financial/social ruin, on any of our fellow citizens simply because of where they live or because of their political beliefs.

I’ve wished for California to break off and form their own country more times than I care to count. Not at the bottom of the sea, though. Where would my almonds come from?

Asked a can't breathe shirt wearing guy if he should apologize to my wife for his ancestors destroying their way of life, he got butt hurt.
Then I followed up by informing him that she is Choctaw, and the Buffalo Soldiers oppressed the indigenous population.
Called me a racist.
That's how stupid all this has become. SAPD Officer was purposely run done by someone in a SUV this morning.

Honestly, if anyone really still has a beef, it's the Native American tribes.

No.. I heard it's a really cool city. They even have their very own separatist group living in CHAZ. You think they will be seen as traitors one day?

Nope. They’re patriots. Good, solid folks. Hell, the South will rise again upon the shoulders of their secession.

Hard disagree, cops shouldn't be taking kids to the principle's office. Teachers and Teacher's aids need to do that.
Cops in schools is another example of politicians over tasking the cops.
Take the saved money, and "harden" the school if you are worried about an active shooter incident.

Mara I think you and @DasBoot are more cool headed than I. After seeing and living with the idiocy these people bring, I've developed a antipathy towards these mini tyrants.

Americans just want to be left alone, especially with standards of living falling. The useful idiots trying to ram their version of Marxism down our collective throats are a cancer upon the nation.

If it helps those almond farms are in inland CA, which is held hostage by the cities. If the cities and some of the affluent coastal burbs fall I doubt many a tear will be shed. Same with Oregon and Portland. The inland's are fine, it's the coastal cities that have become wretched hives of scum and villainy.

Hard disagree. Resource Officers are not in schools to remove unruly children from classrooms. You have school security and proctors for that. You have resource officers in place so that you have a first responder on campus for immediate action.
