IMHO…blockade the area so there is only one way in and one way out.
Cut the power, water, internet, sewer, and electronically block cell service. Using large PA systems, continuously loop Bobby Vinton polka music loudly 24x7.
Oh… and eventually close the Starbucks. Cruel… but these are troubled times.
@Sheepdog556. I completely understand your sentiment. I vacillate between anger and 'if you dont laugh you’ll cry"
The fact that any of this is being debated, as if any american would ever condone it or bow to it, is my biggest frustration.
I agree. It’s certainly a roller-coaster, and I truly didn’t care if people wanted to scream at the sky but in the most literal sense people are occupying part of a city and the local government response is to de escalate by giving them room?! I am just dumbfounded.
No matter what happens, worse is going to come before better. The market is likely to tank again soon…starting today. There’s just not enough to support the current state of affairs. There’s rarely any trouble in the area I live in, so I’m hoping that holds true while the crazies have their fun.
Technically, if there are no laws, then there is no crime. Problem solved! 
I’m getting the feeling that this situation is totally out of President Trumps wheelhouse.
Thoughts?
Honestly?.. It’s Seattle. Who cares? Let them be a social experiment. I’ll just laugh from afar. It has become a total joke. Better than The Onion or Babylon Bee could even make up for satire.
BTW.. The State of Texas has listed both Seattle and Portland on eBay for months. No reserve and still no offers.
Those of you that know me are aware that I ALWAYS go with Bobby. You wouldn’t believe how well it worked in the Middle-East. They would turn themselves in or emotionally break down in a matter of hours. Psych Ops… a dream career.
Lawlessness.
We are at war. Terrorists, Communist Fascist Totalitarian Insurrectionists… and the so called elected Democrat leaders REFUSE to lead… and actually seem to assist and agree with and support the terrorist Communist Fascists.
Giving aid an comfort to the enemy of the United States.
We are at war. Our safety and lives are in jeopardy.
Seattle, like San Fransicko and New York and Chicago … and Baltimore have been social experiments… for years…
Failed experiments.
@Sheepdog556 - Right now I am not sure we can do much about the situation. I would love to grab a handful of people and go clear out that zone. The gun community here has decades of experience and training and could easily take this group out, however we would be called racist, gun toting red necks. All the stereotype that the anti gun group likes to spout. This group would probably like it if a bunch of citizens come and attack them so they can be martyrs to the cause, whatever the cause is.
This is a leadership problem and they need the fortitude to stand up to the undomesticated youth. The only ones that can go in right now are the police or national guard. One of the local politicians in Seattle stated that they didn’t know who the people were that took over the section of town. That is BS actually, since I am very sure they know who the people are. They can also take the people who come out hold them and then wait the group out. Seal them off since the group put up a nice barrier all the way around. Take advantage of that and use it to the benefit of the police.
Also, we as gun owners are not organized like these groups are. It seems to me that until things get a little worse we are not able to step in, again we would be the bad guy if we step in now. Once the police or national guard are overwhelmed, maybe we as gun owning citizens can step in and back them up. Maybe they would deputize the local gun owner to help out.
Anyway, I just think that until things get a little worse, we are organized as a group of gun owners or citizens, and able to communicate as well as the thugs taking over the streets, we can only sit back and wait.
Just this year’s “Occupy” fad. I’d bet a nickle.
@Ouade5 But next year it may be San Fransisco. Oh the humanity!
Not sure how to feel now. Just spoke with oldest grandson of 26.
We’re extremely close, practically brought him up. So when we speak, it’s honest.
I have concerns with some of his comments to me tonight regarding our CHAZ climate. I posed the question. Are you more concerned about ANTIFA or the government?
He’s more worried about governmental retaliation than he is about uneducated walking tantrums with AR’s they bought from DICK’S. ANTIFA protesters don’t seem to pose a threat, worse that this is another “false flag” agenda. Every thing depends on what Trump does next.
Out of the mouths of babes???
That’s how we took down Manuel Noriega, wasn’t Bobby Vinton heavy metal?
@Kevin29 support the terrorist, isn’t that treason?
Though there is this little thing we refer to as “blow-back”. In our good “intentions” we never considered the consequences. But then again I didn’t work for an agency that had to mop things up.
The violence that will come of this is going to be horrible. And this is going to be written about in history books.
My only question is are and the entire household prepared to head for the hills? What I mean is do you have all of the supplies for each family member, important paperwork, pictures, food, shelter, clothes, water, firearms. Do they have the same training as you or do you have to train them as you go? If not than I’d say bug in. Unless they are actually at your neighborhood I wouldn’t leave.
I agree. I always thought that this was America and America doesn’t negotiate with terrorists…
My question to you is when is enough enough for us as citizens to move in as actual militia? They have control over 6 blocks now but when is enough? 7 blocks? 10? A square mile? The entire city? The state? You get where I’m going… When is enough enough and when does the line in the sand get drawn?
