I think like a few other posters have stated...cut the cell towers and internet...turn off the electricity...turn off the water...

Embargo the place so no food or water gets shipped or smuggled in...

Then arrest them all as they flee...

Should take about two weeks at the most...

I'm good with this, they are illegally occupying land they do not own. Arrest them for trespassing and kidnapping, put them in front of a jury and proceed accordingly. Anyone that opposes this does not believe in our Constitutional rights or our Republic form of government.

Part of the problem is that by allowing the lawlessness and violence to continue and letting the locals handle it the way he has when so much of the country disapproves, the president as busy snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

No one either side approves of defunding the police. No one on either side supports the violence and looting and thinks it's peaceful protest.

I understand this is local, and the local officials should be dealing with it, but the press is successfully making it a Trump issue and that's a problem he has at the moment. He can't act, but the longer he doesn't, and angrier people get.

This whole situation is bad all the way around.

Leave it as a glowing example of the Socialist utopia the Marxist Left wants for the rest of the country.

But only “Big Government” would rush in and take away “State’s Rights” like a forced military intervention.

All about how you phrase it

I think that’s the biggest difference between leftist and conservatives. Leftist would be happy under a true one party system. Conservatives know a one party system is the biggest threat to individual rights.

Nothing you can do when sniphats are aiding and abetting

I just seriously saw Tucker Carlson call my friend Raz Simone a “warlord”. Jesus Christ.

And I bet most of the people here believe that crap too. If you want to find out what he really is, find his Facebook and watch his livestream that he has going throughout all of this.

I've never heard of him before now. He sounds real stable:

On the new rebel state’s first night, the atmosphere was festive and triumphant. Hooded men spray-painted the police station with slogans and anarchist symbols, renaming it the “Seattle People’s Department East Precinct.” Raz Simone, a local rapper with an AK-47 slung from his shoulder and a pistol attached to his hip, screamed, “This is war!” into a white-and-red megaphone and instructed armed paramilitaries to guard the barricades in shifts. Later in the night, Simone was filmed allegedly assaulting multiple protestors who disobeyed his orders, informing them that he was the "police" now, sparking fears that he was becoming the de facto warlord of the autonomous zone. A homeless man with a baseball bat wandered along the borderline and two unofficial medics in medieval-style chain mail stood ready for action.

I have no idea if this source is left or right, so take the writer's words as you will.

Ps.

They're already on the path of self destruction.

Except, if they've declared their independence and intent to rebel, they aren't a part of the state anymore, are they?

let it burn to the ground.

Let the convicts rule over the city

This guy is your friend?
Tell us more about him from your standpoint.

Why do the protesters remind me of the grasshopper in the old fable grasshopper and the ant?

The Ant and the Grasshopper, alternatively titled The Grasshopper and the Ant (or Ants), is one of Aesop's Fables, numbered 373 in the Perry Index.[1] The fable describes how a hungry grasshopper begs for food from an ant when winter comes and is refused. The situation sums up moral lessons about the virtues of hard work and planning for the future.[2]

Exactly. I don't want to see any one party have complete control over anything. I would like to see members of all parties working for the People like they're supposed to but until reforms are made in our government that's not going to happen.

It been wonderin if that makes us the Palestinians now?

You are really that badly triggered by whats happening in Seattle? Who cares about Seattle? Looks to me like Seattle is a great place to collect all the nutters and let them play out their fantasies. I think it should be turned into a reality TV show.

Yep, that's been the narrative for most of the last 24 hours.

If Mr. Simone is your friend, can you comment on the claims that he/his group are acting as a gang and exorting money from citizens?

You bring up an interesting point.
What happens if a building catches fire there?
Who puts it out?
Does it spread throughout the whole autonomous zone, unchecked?

You, yourself, have allowed those reports may indeed be credible.

Where? If you're going to make a remark like that, at least post the quote you're referring to.
