It will become Trump's problem top to bottom. I do not believe he is that stupid."
You'll note that I included in my post "when the time comes".
What happens when the antifa/blm mob expands their area of control? The Seattle police department seems to have moved out and abandoned the area. The only "law" there now is the law of the mob/jungle.
How long before they start putting people there "on trial"?
And what will the "penalties" be?
I'm thinking that they'll also move to expand the area that they control. This IS NOT "peaceful protest". It's a full-blown insurrection and SOMEBODY is going to have to stop them at some point down the line. Who is that going to be? The Seattle police department? Are you kidding me? They FLED under instructions from the mayor, it seems.
It's easy to sit back and watch from a distance, and glibly proclaim "they brought this upon themselves", so live with it. And let it become a lesson for others.
But how's that gonna work out when they start beating and/or killing a few people... or more than "a few"...?
I'll repeat:
If this goes on too long, and the insurgents degenerate into something approximating a "reign of terror", SOMEBODY is gonna have to go in there and put an end to it.
And if the city police are incapable of doing it, and if the state national guard can't handle it... then just WHO is going to do it...?
