Seattle anti-police protests descend into riots as officers injured; 18 arrested

Rioters threw rocks and explosives toward officers, officials said

The protest began in the Seattle neighborhood of SoDo around 7 p.m., with an estimated 100 people marching on foot with cars following behind them, according to a Monday morning press release by the Seattle Police Department. They made their way to the building that houses the Seattle Police Officer Guild and, within hours, the demonstration turned violent.

Sometime after 10 p.m., demonstrators detonated a “large explosive” and tried to break the window of a police car, authorities said.

Even after police officers ordered the crowd to disperse, people from the group allegedly began throwing bottles and rocks at them. And "Multiple explosives were thrown toward officers,” the press release stated. “Several officers were struck by explosives and injured.”

Yet another story TV news, except for Fox, refuses to report. In fact, there's been a near-blackout on coverage of the Seattle riots for the last week, but of course NO let up in the Wuhan fear-mongering. Don't you love the way most of the idiot reporters wear a mask even when the TV camera filming them is 10' away? Just another way to promote the panic. Then when the camera shuts off, off comes the mask.

Just wait for the riots if Trump steals the election by shutting down the USPS. This is just a spring training game, if that happens. Probably need some range time this fall to make sure every weapon is good to go.

I am advocating that everyone cools down, including those on this forum who say they are prepared to go to all lengths, and that everything is fair game, to keep Trump in power. Those types live a lot closer to me than do those inclined to skirmish with police in some downtown.

If Trump is losing he WILL issue a call to arms. And people WILL respond to it. And I get to protect myself from those people.

Some gun owners want those things. But I have encountered very many who are prepared to look past all of Trump's indiscretions, outright violations of law, to take zero interest in the evidence against Trump, in order to see him kept in power. Oh sure, smash the street criminals to bits, they whose power to do any damage to the country is limited to what they can do with a brick, or crowbar. But for the people who can do that much more damage with a pen, to those they look away. So no I call BS on the idea that the hard core pro-Trump gun owner has a deep sense of caring about the rule of law, peace and the honoring of everyone's rights. But other gun owners, sure, absolutely. So the problem isn't gun owners, it's that fraction of them that are hard core Trump cult members. Cults are bad.

Fear?

Fear?

Interesting question. Concern for the country and its future? Absolutely. Fear in the RayG/Sid/Dogtag/Vernon/CH animals-are-eating-the-country way? No.

Welcome back. Got a tune-up, I hear. Running like a swiss watch now, right?

Well, just go to Biden's website--maybe that will make it clearer.

Please list any serious of OFFICIAL Trump's indiscretions, and outright violations of law,

What is the sound of dead silence?

The time has come for Portland residents to take up arms and drive the rioters out of their city or kill them where they stand

Only men could do that -- and Portland is apparently short of men.

Or maybe...its not as big a problem as some would like to believe? WOW...perhaps the fear campaign isn't working?

Protests will go away with Covid after the election.

Waiting for my reply? Is cheating on your ignore list a guilty pleasure?

It's a game Ray plays. If I give him lists then he doesn't consider them, doesn't try to understand.

I can ask him "what could Trump do that would make you vote against him?" and his reply is "nothing". So little to explore there.

As for lists, I think everyone here knows I'm capable of long, enumerated posts.
