Predictions for Seattle? - Page 3 - Politics and Society -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Uh, are you sure the reason businesses are closed isn't that, you know, COVID-19 happened and King County is still in phase 1 of Washington's reopening guidelines? It's definitely the antifa terrorist protesters forcibly taking control?

To be fair, it's well established that pandemic restrictions are terrorism also.

Maybe the new government in the CHAZ zone will draft their own re-opening plan and allow the businesses to open sooner? Has to be a few massage parlors in that area. If they opened up it would definitely allow for some much needed tension relief.

kinda agree here. if you called me a liberal I would get more upset than if you called me racist.

There are some business owners that are being asked for "protection" money.
How can any clear-thinking person believe that this "occupation" is acceptable?
This will not end well and the occupiers are to blame.
I predict a raging gun battle (not with police) in a couple of days...

Someone needs to put out the bat signal for the Proud Boys. I predict someone gets stabbed in the heart with a trident.

It's not for real, Seattle PD claimed this but even a Sinclair-owned local news station could not find any evidence of it happening

He said it, therefore it's a fact, and not a lie from the police that he's uncritically parroting because it fits his narrative.

Owner of a business owner in the "autonomous zone" denies a fee has been collected. He did say a delivery guy was turned away at gunpoint.

If a business owner in this antifascistan publicly said they were being extorted they would burn the building down. So the only answer is we don't know. These business owners are in a precarious position. I'm sure these communist morons think they're doing the world a favor by occupying property they have no right to occupy. Total losers

Reminder that almost all Seattle businesses are closed for COVID-related reasons anyway

Business owners don't care if their business gets burned down when it's closed! I'm sure you own property and would be totally cool with this happening on your doorstep

Wait so you're imagining that business owners are like "oh my god what is this CHAZ thing" and walked over to their closed business and found antifa thugs waiting outside saying "time to PAY UP mr. business owner" and the business owner said "oh no, I don't want my building burned down, I'd better pay you" and we have to believe this is probably happening because there's really no way to know that it isn't?

LOL

If she wasn't a black person, the "usual suspects" around here would be calling her a racist.

Huh? Why?

What did she say that we would call racist if she wasn't black? I looked through an article about her comments (I assume you're talking about her saying it wasn't her call to abandon the East Precinct?) and have no idea what you're talking about.

She takes a very balanced approach between public safety and allowing people to protest.

I hope I'm wrong, but the protestors might start turning on each other. One guy almost got beat up because somebody thought he stole a cellphone.
