#1 Oddly, neither Governor Brown nor Mayor Wheeler has appeared at the scene of the "protests" to calm things down. Leadership from the command post twenty miles behind the lines.

#2 These riots will probably continue on until election time unless something/somebody intervenes to break things loose. The problem is that those prone to violence, looting and arson piggy-back onto peaceful protests. This is a tactic that has been used for a long time by extremists.

#3 I don't think it will be long before property loss "due to law enforcement stand-down" will not be covered in most property insurance policies, or if it is covered it will be only via an added-cost rider to the standard policy.

#4 If the 'peaceful protesters' allow the rioters and looters in their 'peaceful protest', then it is *not* a peaceful protest and they are not 'peaceful protesters'.

#5 The police should just state they won't respond to calls to stop it and they won't respond to calls in the neighborhood the Governor lives.

#6 Darth, and the governor's ~~Praetorian Guard~~ protective detail should be called away to assist in riot control.

#8 Just enact a Defunded Police Zone in a 5 mile radius surrounding the Governor and Portland Mayor.

#9 I'd go a step further. If the state isn't going to police crime anymore, abolish the criminal courts.

#10 And abolish DAs and states' attorneys general and their apparatus.

Of course, those things exist to keep us in line, so it won't happen.

#11 This is not that difficult. This is not a police situation. Police who are easy targets are easily identifiable by the mob being attacked by the leftist militia with faces hidden from view. A domestic clandestine guerilla element needs to be estaalished to counter this militant insurgency in unorthodoxed ways.

#12 Looks a lot like ISIS marching

#13 Too masculine to be ISIS.
