It’s all peaceful protesting until it comes to your house
From KOMO News:
Best implores city council to ‘stand up for what is right’ after protesters visit her home
Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best implored Seattle City Councilmembers Sunday to “stand up for what is right” after a group of protesters targeted her home late Saturday night.
In a letter to the council that she also published on the department’s crime blog, Best said her home in Snohomish County was visited “by a large group of aggressive protestors” and that while her neighbors were concerned, “they were successful in ensuring the crowd was not able to trespass or engage in other illegal behavior in the area, despite repeated attempts to do so.”
Miguel covered that a couple of days ago.
Best said the actions again elected officials — and especially civil servants as herself, “are out of line with and go against every democratic principle that guides our nation. Before this devolves into the new way of doing business by mob rule here in Seattle, and across the nation, elected officials like you must forcefully call for the end of these tactics.”
It’s was all peaceful protesting until the protesters found out where the Chief of Police lived and then went to pay her a visit to her house.
Now it is time to crack down on the mob.
She fed the crocodile and it eventually came for her. Unfortunately for Best, the mob has yet to go after every member of the City Council personally, so they are happy to continue their shitty policy of burning blind eyes and appeasement of the mob.
By this time, I suspect that the mob will never be fully quelled. I suspect that in Seattle, Portland, and a few other cities, the following years (maybe even decade) will be like Belfast, Bagdhad, and other cities where Sectarian domestic terrorism was just a part of life, and every once in awhile a bombing, mass shooting, or other terrorist attacks would occur. These cities will not return to “normal” for years if ever.
This is why you can’t give rioters any leniency, they will always come for you in the end.
