#17 Done Control, or, "Take my gun... please." Democracy, gun to her head: "Progressives, I wish I were dead!" A liberal snigger: "I'll help! Pull the trigger!" She bled as he dragged her to bed. |

#16 Do ‘all’ options include employing deadly force, fast and hard? |

#15 Is one of those options having the entire elected body resign en-mass and committing ritual suicide in the town square to wipe the stain from their honor? |

#14 Dusk to Dawn curfew obviously hasn't been even talked about. Making you close your business "because muh COVID" is A-OK, but a curfew? That would be a civil rights violation. |

#12 Wiki: Wheeler advocates for increased gun control, and supports requiring rigorous background checks for people attempting to buy guns. On March 14, 2018, he released a letter in support of The National School Walkout against gun violence.On April 20, Wheeler told hundreds of students outside Portland city hall that he would work on a ban of assault-style weapons in Portland. |

#10 Has he considered that having a ‘small group’ of rioters in a large number of ‘protesters’ might be by design? That the ‘protesters’ are simply to give cover to the hard core rioters? |

#8 The allegedly peaceful ones (crock of BS) know damn well that one next to them with a rock in their hand or a home made shield is not there to be peaceful. They deserve whatever they get for not distancing themselves from the alleged violent few. |

#3 How to translate these principles into on-the-ground tactics has flummoxed city leaders. Perhaps because no such thing is possible when dealing with these creatures. |

#2 How about "Governor Brown, it's obvious that the Portland pice are unable to handle the riots. Please activate the National Guard." |
