2. While Inslee is right, we need to be very careful here.

The Repubs are undoubtedly trying to find a way to spin Seattle as a worst case scenario when protestors and anarchists are allowed to take over a city when police forces are neutered. This is not a winning message for the left and it will cause some people to side with the right's views here. Inslee and the Seattle city government need to solve the problem there very quickly.

...will be declared Confederate Free zones by Alt Right armed wing nuts. Gets to be looking like open revolt and potential civil war if one is not careful.

9. Unfortunately The Seattle Police Has Had Real Problems For Years

I think they have been improving, but we have a lot of trouble here with homelessness and drugs. Serious problems. Little help from anyone. Especially Trump.

Then you got the anarchist who I don't understand at all. They just want to smash stuff? Really? My stuff? Yes, my stuff. I own a business. Assholes. Pure F-ing Assholes.

If they want to smash the windows out of Bezos house, I wouldn't mind, but my store's windows? When I have no insurance?

I can't say what I would do to them if I could get away with it. I want to keep my account here.

By the way, Inslee didn't start the race war. Years of police who can break the law and not suffer consequences because they are like the mob. Yes we need police, but not muggers with badges.

then the Mardi Gras riots after that.

I still don't know if I can trust them, but I hope you're right, and that they are improving.

And what exactly does the Prez think he can do? Can't get PPE to local hospitals real time but wants to send in the military to deal with local matters. Puh--lease!!!!! Ineffectual pompous asshole!

Jay Inslee

@JayInslee
A man who is totally incapable of governing should stay out of Washington state’s business. “Stoop” tweeting.

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

Radical Left Governor @JayInslee and the Mayor of Seattle are being taunted and played at a level that our great Country has never seen before. Take back your city NOW. If you don’t do it, I will. This is not a game. These ugly Anarchists must be stooped IMMEDIATELY. MOVE FAST!
