    The mayor and city council will have to decide that this isn't good for business in the downtown area. So far I'm not seeing any real desire to change anything. The entire bunch will be sued soon enough. I'm seeing some resignations coming just like the exodus from the SPD.

    So - is the Governor of Washington just not planning to do anything?

    Can the Washington State Congress override the governor to deploy the National Guard? Or will it ultimately require an invocation of the Insurrection Act?

    Can vegans eat people? Technically we’re animals, but we’re not cute Disney animals and it is for the cause.

    I feel bad for the National Guardsmen that will ultimately have to retake the “Autonomous Zone”.
    If they could just increase the number of shootings and violent crime they could almost be as big a shithole as Chicago.

    We're considering a trip to Wisconsin and avoiding Chicago adds half an hour to the trip. Which is worth it, IMO, especially now. I'm specifically considering "where are the interstates more likely to be blocked by protesters and/or rioters" and driving my truck to increase the number of "outs" available if we do travel.
    Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.

    When I moved from CT to MN I dodged around Chicago by way of Iowa.

    Strongly recommend. Boring, but easy drive.

    Every city should aspire to be as shitty as Chicago, man. Only then can its residents know true greatness and true shitness.

    Seattle is in a beautiful place, and the city by itself is gorgeous, but it has clearly been utterly ruined by the dominant culture of the area. I don’t know if it’s even fair to call it San Francisco Lite at this point, Seattle seems like it’s telling San Fran to “hold my beer” with respect to this latest round of lunacy.

    Mountains, forests, ocean, islands, 4 seasons, everyone wears outdoor clothing all the time, great food everywhere, a million things to do within driving distance...it just sucks politically.

    He may run for president again.

    I don't think he's addressed the situation. I did hear him say there will be an independent investigation of a black man that was killed in Tacoma. Diversion.

    I think it is the governor and only the governor that can call up the WNG. The regular session of the legislature ended in March.
