Rioters have broken into the gates of WA Gov. Inslee's mansion.

The wildfire has spread. They hate his pandemic response and say he stole his election too. They’re armed. No idea if he’s there.

He’s the one reason we’re doing relatively well with this plague.

Only if they point their weapons at someone. We don't want to create any martyrs. Just my opinion.

And yes, I know that many of our fellow citizens have not been given that same consideration by the police, but I think it's better if they can resolve this situation (and any situation) without anyone getting shot, as now appears to be the case, fortunately.
