Sorry, I don't want to go near any protest that has a nasty habit of being turned into a riot by agitators.

Hmmm ... Chief Guest isn't talking about armed warlord gangs, is she? She seems to be interested in doing her job.

This is the difference between a strong black woman ... and hard men that get the job done.

I've noticed the distinct absence of incredibly wealthy celebrities arriving to virtue signal with Antifa.

The October Revolution,[a] commonly referred to as the Bolshevik Revolution,[2] the October Uprising or Red October and officially known in Soviet historiography as the Great October Socialist Revolution, was a revolution in Russia led by the Bolshevik Party of Vladimir Lenin that was instrumental in the larger Russian Revolution of 1917–1923. It took place through an armed insurrection in Petrograd on 25 October (Old Style, O.S.; 7 November, New Style or N.S.) 1917.

The October Revolution had followed and capitalized on the February Revolution earlier in the year. The February Revolution had overthrown the Tsarist autocracy, resulting in a provisional government. The provisional government had taken power after being proclaimed by Grand Duke Michael, Tsar Nicholas II's younger brother, declined to take power after the Tsar had stepped down.

During this time, urban workers began to organize into councils (soviets) wherein revolutionaries criticized the provisional government and its actions. After the Congress of Soviets, the new governing body, had its second session it elected members of the Bolsheviks and other left-wing groups such as the Left Socialist Revolutionaries (Left SR) to important positions within the new state of affairs. This immediately initiated the establishment of the Russian Soviet Republic. On 17 July 1918,[c] the Tsar and his family, including his five children aged 13 to 22, were executed.

People in Russia were starving at the time.

Check out the effect of the Bread Riots on the Revolution.

On March 8, 1917, demonstrators clamoring for bread took to the streets in the Russian capital of Petrograd (now known as St. Petersburg). Supported by 90,000 men and women on strike, the protesters clashed with police but refused to leave the streets. On March 10, the strike spread among all of Petrograd’s workers, and irate mobs of workers destroyed police stations.

That's fine.

I'm not afraid of meeting history head on.

Despite the Covid scare and the riots, they have failed in making me fear my fellow man.

Aggregate polls say nearly 80% of US citizens support sending in the Natl Guard, almost 60% support using the US Military.

I'm all for cutting off power, water, gas, and cell reception (if possible). Their numbers will drop precipitously when they can no longer take a hot shower, or use their iPhones to call for veggie burrito delivery. But some will still refuse to leave.

Next step - Scare the snip out of them. How? Loud, scary noises. CHOPPERS. APCs. Fly Chinooks in and drop soldiers off a block or two away, all around their perimeter. Make sure they see it happening, see what they're up against, the number of uniforms and the efficiency and effectiveness with which those soldiers operate.

Now here's the tough part.
I hesitate to even suggest this, but here it is:
Don't arm the Natl Guardsmen.
I know, it would go against all their training, and would be unprecedented. But these are truly unprecedented times, wouldn't you say?
Imo, if even a single insurrectionist is maimed or killed by shots fired in anger by US Military, our society would be absolutely destroyed by the psychopathic media machine. They would finally stop running the G Floyd death vid 300 times every day, and start running that nonstop. The final call to arms for the programmed useful idiots.

It's risky, sure. But if done correctly, no shots need to be fired! Just hear me out... Probably give 1 in every 20 a less-than-lethal ranged weapon. use numbers to surround them. I'm talking about ranks of Natl Guard, 10 deep. Walking down every street and alleyway, closing in on their little playground. 99% of these young insurrectionist roleplayers will pee all over themselves and beg for their mommy. There might be a VERY small handful who are ignorant and insane enough to open fire on thousands of uniformed military. If that happens, our guys charge the person and overwhelm them with numbers, world War Z-style. Then disarm that person and throw on the zip-tie cuffs. Not a chance in hell one of these neer-do-wells could pull off a reload under those circumstances without dropping the mag from the sweaty palms of their smooth, uncallused hands 3 times.

Would have to make sure to have footage of exactly how it went down, to immediately shatter any media bullsnip lies with hard evidence.

Would I want to be one of those young soldiers, if ordered to March in there without a rifle or sidearm? Nope. But the military owns their ass. They all know it. And when it comes right down to it, it's all about sticking together... having the backs of the brother or sister next to you.

Just END IT!!

My friends and I are talking about making a visit there this weekend.

We attended a nearby protest on a whim to see it firsthand.

I implore everyone to make it to one of these protests, regardless of your affiliation, so you can get your news from the source without any spin.

Alot of these things are going down way different than what the news is telling you.

I really want to visit Seattle before/as SHTF, so I could see/be a part of history.

All I really wanna do is drink and get high and dance in the street of the CHAZ and keep the peace...

dressed as Hunter S. Thompson.

When you go...see if you can get a 'selfie' with the Warlord (He's the guy with the AK and horned Viking helmet).

Millennials were the target audience for Sim City original sales.

Millennials are the generation that literally grew up on the Sim franchises, lol.

Millennials are those born 1980-1996, Sim City was released in 1989.

How many Americans initially supported the invasion of Iraq?

Remember those terrorists we sacrificed all that blood, money and freedoms over?

If what you suggest gets enacted, George Floyd will be a minuscule issue compared to the optics of a city wide militarized crackdown.

It won't be an issue about race inequality anymore. Alot of people don't care about BLM but once they see tanks and troops in American cities making mass arrests and forceful takedowns, we will have fascism that will lead to new protests, new protesters and escalation.

The worldwide narrative will be America vs The people.

We don't care about helping others, we focus on punishment.

This is an authoritarian mentality that just makes you more enemies.

Your ideas are great. I'm just wondering about the machines that made some kind of noise that incapacitates people? Brown noise? Or was that just the color of their shorts after one of those types of machines was used? Why not use those? Aren't there several types of less-than-lethal weapon systems that could be used?

Invasion of The CHAZ.

(The CHAZ seen below)




I'm so sorry. I can't take any of this seriously. I know these losers have ruined businesses, kept people terrorized in their homes in the immediate area. . . .

But they call themselves, "The CHAZ".

Arm the Nat'l Guard with bars of soap, tooth brushes, and combs.

They'll scatter like true music fans at a Nickelback concert.


BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-covid cough-AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

LMAO this picture of citizen of CHAZ never gets old. You don't need to arm the Guard, just get one of those meat suite things that Lady Gaga wore a while back. That'll send them running.

I’m going fishing. That is what I am going to do about it.

You don’t bring a knife/or no knife to a gun fight, period. Why risk our soldiers life’s. If they’re stupid enough to stay and open fire on our troops then they deserve a bullet in the head. This isn’t a game and the NG will quickly remind them of so. Stupid prizes and such.... Screw these punks and the mayor, she can have her “summer of love” elsewhere, another country preferably. I heard ISIS is constantly looking for new talents.

"The CHAZ" sounds like something a young sailor might get on shore leave in a foreign port.

Dangit! I got the CHAZ! I'm never calling HER again!

Really? I'd love to see those aggregate polls.
