In Colorado Hickenlooper who is running for Senate is on record as saying numerous times how he did not want to.

 

It is confusing.

So he is running for an office he does not want?  How altruistic of him.

Seattle

Heard this morning that 118 (!!?!!) police officers have resigned so far from the Seattle PD.

So when will the residents of Seattle sue the city council like they are doing in Minneapolis?

Don't know.  Heard just the beginning of a radio interview with a Seattle-station radio talk-show host.  He said that Comrade Jenny Durkin (Mayorette) is widely hated, and that Seattle residents are moving to outlying areas but that the political situation isn't much better there.  A couple of Seattle City Council members were replaced, but now they have two open socialists, not just one.  He was pessimistic about even long-term change and said that no Republican will EVER be elected up there, period.

I knew I had posted the Seattle retirements thing somewhere Tbone but wanted to be lazy and search, to no avail, so I had to go back a few pages and found it (near the bottom):

Not sure if I saw it on here plenty of overtime to be had if you hang around and all you have to do is watch the carnage.

Cool -- and Rantz was the radio dude being interviewed.

I can't imagine 118 police resigning... it's a recipe for chaos.

Right? And there's nothing else they can do, because of that "chaos" idiots in the local government are happy to put the cities like that through. Case in point:

Protesters Attack Police, Burn Police Cruiser in Philadelphia

 

Rioters in Philadelphia attacked police officers and set a police cruiser on fire following the shooting of an armed black man. Two police officers shot the man after he chased them around a car with a knife and refused to drop the weapon.

Protests are turning violent in multiple parts of the City of Brotherly Love after two police officers were forced to defend themselves from a man wielding a knife during a domestic situation, Breitbart News reported.

All kinds of rioting and looting in Philly, NYC and others. Will post video later of it and journalists being beaten to a pulp. No one can question the diversity though. While you had some people looting TVs at Walmart and cell phones at Boost you had others looting the dollar stores for party cups and napkins. The latter are prob the same people looting all the mild and hot sauce packets at taco bell.

I can see your confusion, this was a BLM Shopping Event, sort of like Black Friday.

Someone suggested to me, and now I wonder about, the pluses and minuses of "shooting to kill" the next time any of these rioters assaults a policeman with a deadly weapon (firearms, bricks, etc.).

 

On the plus side, these rioters are mostly cowards, and making an example of one group of them might give others pause.

 

Also on the plus side, a dead terrorist can rarely cause future problems.

 

Further on the plus side, being able to respond in kind would probably improve police (and public) morale.

 

On the minus side, any rioter's death might lead to martyr status and accelerate the mayhem elsewhere.

 

In terms of taking legal action, I haven't heard anything about progress into learning who's organizing or funding these groups, or whether meaningful prosecution on even a small scale is pending.

The difficulty for the weak minded comes from looking at things from the lens the gaslighting people want them to look through. Their stated objective is revolution.. power. They don't have the might on their side so they psychologically paralyze people. The way they do it here is with the logic of.. either you let us tear cities apart (where weak people fall in line and join their side) or you fight us and we use photos and videos of it to martyr ourselves and recruit more to our cause. Knowing they have the media and financial backers behind them. 

 

Reality needs to prevail in the face of those tactics. Insurrection and overthrow isn't something to be taken lightly, and I agree, if necessary, heads should roll.. by any interpretation. There's no Republic, freedoms, or peace without those willing to protect it.

If enough is ever enough, then how much is "enough" -- this is the question and the quandary.

As sad as it is to admit it, I tend to conclude that "a dead terrorist can rarely cause future problems" is something to consider.

Political whims rarely have patience so I understand. But.. while the scale is different, this is similar to what happened in the 60s. It took years for people to be fed up with the extremism but when they finally did all their "progress" was rapidly undone and they were stomped like a tiny grass fire rather than a blazing five alarm. People need to find their bravery and there needs to be more Kyle Rittenhouse's protecting others. Cannot abandon principles and allow government to be that kind of instrument in our place. That's exactly what they're trying to do. People need to find their spine (understand the threat and react properly rather then get caught up in pointless "condemnation" of everything) and the support will come. It just takes patience which no one has in politics, especially if you believe people are mostly good. That patience is also good at dispelling what also might be an intemperate reaction if the fire sputters before spreading too wildly.

Here are the inroads marxists are making in trying to make themselves unaccountable to the public, from attacking journalists publishing photos/videos of them in public, to showing public mug shots of them when arrested for committing crimes. Slowly chipping away so they can have their own preferred narrative of what they're doing make it out to the public, exactly the predictable authoritarianism instituted when in power. Anarchists when not. Get it yet?
