National Protest and 'disband the cops' discussion (please review page 1)

[Florida173]

Pelosi and gang kneeling is the epitome of being out of touch. Maybe.. just maybe.. her time in office for the last 40 years could give her a little ownership of this so called system in the systemic racism part that they are all calling for?

The Current SHITUATION in Seattle.

They're armed and they're patrolling. To protect the people of course. Literally no different from the gang or dirty cops forcing businesses to pay for protection

Eastern WA would probably celebrate if Seattle and those idiots all burned.

Eh, wonder how long it takes to start collecting taxes from the locals.

They already did via the seizure of goods earlier in the riots.

It's like those idiots want to kick off a civil war. Arson, murder, rioting, looting, and the establishment of their own little leftist fiefdoms is getting old.

Maybe I went over the top on the 'kneeling to other nations' bit, but I think it takes away from the kneeling that athletes do during The Anthem. Their 'taking a knee' is personal to them. What the Dems did here was staged and essentially makes a mockery of the folks who are truely trying to make a statement.

In my humble opinion, as they say.

Nope. We would not.

 

[R.Caerbannog]

Nope. We would not.

I think we travel in very different socioeconomic circles. Especially considering how the politics of that area have disenfranchised the rest of the state.

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.

 

[Florida173]

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..

 

[ThunderHorse]

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?

 

[DA SWO]

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.
