Yesterday I brought you the news that two cars were doing donuts in an intersection when the police tried to respond, a crowd attacked one of the police cars. The officer tried to back out of the situation, when he was blocked in, he ran over some protesters.
In response to agitators picking a fight with the Tacoma police and physics, they came out in force to destroy Tacoma.

About 150 people at the Tacoma anti-police rally. They’re almost all in black bloc. Fight broke out already. This has the feel of a Seattle event. pic.twitter.com/zDYVlz0LSM

Remember how Biden was supposed to magically end this and bring peace to American streets?
Yeah…
I’m sensing that the metro areas of Washington and Oregon are going to spend the next four years in a state of permanent riot.
Metro areas in permanent riot? Yes, until:
a) A city gov’t is elected that won’t stand for it;
b) A state gov’t is elected that won’t stand for it and goes over the heads of the city gov’t;
c) The rioters get tired of rioting; or
d) The metro area is demolished thoroughly, with nothing fun left to destroy, at which point the rioters move elsewhere.
The time to have stopped this was a day after it started.
A and B seem to be out, and you’d have thought c would have happened by now if it was going to.
There’s also e) the citizens repel the rioters with force and vigor; but given the manifest legal repercussions for anyone who dares challenge the mob, it will have to be a lot worse than it is now, in residential neighborhoods, before anything like that starts to occur.
You missed (f) the rioters’ pay masters decide for some strange reason to stop funding the rioters.
I agree, (a) and (b) seem unlikely. And given that, “F*** them, let it burn” is the appropriate answer for the rest of us.
That would probably take away the pros, agreed. But, how many of the rioters in Washington and Oregon are now “home-grown” who have come to like doing this, and don’t need to get a paycheck to want to keep doing it?
Honestly, (d) is the most likely. It sure doesn’t look like (f) is occurring; I admit I am mildly surprised, but maybe I should’ve expected it if you assume the paymasters want to generate more chaos even through their puppet’s reign.
(e) is unlikely, but if enough citizens band together, legal repercussions will have no effect. This is a side effect of that rather notable scene in A Man For All Seasons; once the laws have been cut down, the Devil will turn round on you.
“That door is not locked to protect me. It is locked to protect YOU!”
“I’m sensing that the metro areas of Washington and Oregon are going to spend the next four years in a state of permanent riot.”
You get more of what you incentivize. All they’ve done since last May is incentivize rioting and destruction.
>>Remember how Biden was supposed to magically end this and bring peace to American streets?
With everything Antifa that’s happened, I keep thinking of that scene in “Cabaret” where the Michael York character asks the German officer:
“Still think you can control them?”
