Let's fence Seattle off from the rest of America, install video cameras and watch in real-time how things turn out. Should be interesting--sort of a mash-up of the Truman Show meets Animal Farm. Sponsors anyone?

"Please, don't paint a lot of people with a wide brush." I offer no apology here. I call 'em as I see 'em and many TV commercials over the past couple of decades increasingly have gone out of the way to disparage white males. They are cast as fools, buffoons, and idiots that need to be set straight or taught a lesson. Just as an exercise, when you see a commercial disparaging a white male reverse the race/gender of the sage and white male and see if it would be allowed on the air.

Please, don't paint a lot of people with a wide brush. There is a certain demographic running both Hollywood and Madison Avenue; the owners of Wall Street, and this is no coincidence. Those control freaks have been running our government since 1913, when they bribed their way into the Congress and took over the Treasury with their "Federal" Reserve Bank. By owning and managing the media and entertainment industries, they tell you what to think and what to do. Your eyes were open the whole time. Now you are too scared to vote in person, so mail in your ballots like a good puppet, and they will only count the ones that continue their control scheme. You are hereby notified, your children's fate lies in your hands, and this year is the acid test of the Republic.

Rotting in a jail cell sounds good.

We don't have to try him in America. All we have to do is extradite him to one of the nations which wants him. He'd rot in jail in Great Britain.

I really dislike the notion of any crime having a special and subjective motivation attached which results in a further arbitrary punishment. We don't have the capability at the present time to accurately judge a person's motives in many cases with clarity or objectivity. We simply need to prosecute them for the crimes they have committed - including assault in many cases which is really just a threat rather than realized harm. Now if you want to create a category of crime which is basically assault on a large group of people and prosecute someone based on their nominalized threat with punishment being exponentially larger as the size of the threatened group enlarges, I could get behind that.

Of course the other thing I would do is to categorically deny that the death penalty for murder or rape is at all "cruel or unusual." I would clarify that cruel and unusual must be judged in relation to the alleged crime; you don't execute someone for petty theft (unusual) nor do you cut off someone's hand (cruel) for the same crime.

I would only HOPE that a public hanging after a trial in Guantanamo could be arranged.
I am not normally this hard core but.......

I am aware of a movie "Escape Fron New York". Kurt Russel as Snake Plitkin. I'll have to check out "Escape from LA".
I recently saw a T-shirt that says..."Make Orwell Fiction Again". Might have to re-run 1984.

I'm certain there are enough jurors here in the Gulch alone to objectively hear the evidence.
I agree that the choice of venue will be important to a rational verdict based on evidence.
A military tribunal in Guantanamo since Soros has caused loss of military lives with his treasonous manipulations?
I also agree that Soros is just one on the guilty parties. Wouldn't his execution be a good example to others considering treasonous activity?

They continue to riot because Sorehole Soros is paying them a salary.

A trial for Sorehole Soros??? Given the state of our population I am not sure we could get enough AMERICAN jurors to convict him. We should just "Bin Laden" him. But, from what I understand, his sons will continue what he has started. Sad.

I do appreciate the poetic sarcasm in your post. BLM and other commies make me wanna puke. Sorry my response is not so ....poetic.

Yes, all correct. Re Japan and S.Korea etc, it is ironic that they have interesting complex cultures of their own which are thriving. They can observe, learn, copy, develop, improve from elsewhere and strengthen their own worthwhile cultures. Japan sat at the feet of American QC expert Deming, years later Japanese companies set up auto plants in the US (and elsewhere) and taught the local workers what and how to get it right.
- Now if only Japan would progress from Keynesianism.
As you say, other cultures cannot see or learn. There is inevitable decline, delayed by stealing, or masked by sale of currently valuable resources.

Agreed. Every alternative, if any is offered, has failed in every single instance.

Is it time to start arresting people on charges of treason? Every one of the riots could be called a hate crime, although that tag is not needed since assault, grand theft, burglary, arson, and murder are crimes enough to put many rioters away. Some are guilty of domestic terrorism as well.
Speedy trials and reasonable jail terms based on previous infractions with most severe going to those who are leaders (including those in elected and appointed government positions.) Soros should be brought to trial for treason and executed when found guilty. Many in congress should be tried and given punishment that any citizen would have received for such a crime.

These people are criminals trying to destroy America.

That's the problem with elitists. They don't mind the packs of rabid wolves tearing apart other people because they don't believe it could happen to them. Then when it does they suddenly claim injustice. It's actually the most just thing possible - they just think they are immune to natural cause and effect because of hubris.

Madison Ave is just as guilty as Hollywood. Look at all the stupid white people, especially stupid white male, commercials are being broadcast 24/7.

That's proof that the inculcation of the New Jim Crow is working. Isn't Seattle the city school district where 8 year old white males were made to stand in front of the class and apologize for being born white male? I recall that being discussed here in the Gulch not long ago. Brainwashed self-loathing white people.

Based on my associations with many individuals in Seattle (hiking, climbing and trekking friends), these folks can afford their Socialist / Equality for All beliefs. Many of them can literally afford it by being employed in the Tech Sector where they earn large sums and can afford nice town houses and lofty apartments while dining on the best that Seattle has to offer. Most of the fire and smoke have not yet reached their neighborhoods, and until it does, the riots are really just a bunch of "very passionate people expressing their views." What is happening in Seattle and the other major cities, in terms of the vandalism and riots, is similar to the storyline in the book "The Camp of the Saints" -- where the Lefties really are not seeing the danger that they place themselves in with their Open Borders to All in Body and Mind ... until the very end of the book, when one of the Lefties cries out "I never thought they would actually take MY home!"

When commies take over they always start killing the useful idiots. That's why they're doing things like attacking mayors, etc...

I'd say Moronic.
Most Hollywood execs are white men, too, and look at who nearly all the villains are on TV and in modern movies. Look at the gender and race of most moronic characters on TV. Have you noticed how many white male lead characters have female and/or black bosses? How many white male lead characters have long suffering female partners who are always proving to be more intelligent than the white males?
imo, the Hollywood execs are the morons.

Given that the vast majority of the rioters in Seattle are white, that would be rather ironic.

I think they plan to just use the existing system to get rid of white males. This is just a hunch...

I spent many years living in Seattle and vicinity, back when the left began importing support for its idiocy. I watched as, one by one, the reasons I loved the place were destroyed by liberal "fixes". Homeless were told they no longer had to take the meds that kept them functional and so the streets became crowded with unwanted, uncared for human debris. Each election brought in more bodies who believed they knew more about what was best for everyone. The environment was given more protection than the citizenry. Living on our 30' sailboat for 12 years, we saw the creeping rot that was destroying in the name of saving us from ourselves. We couldn't stop it. After a long while, we left the place to its own cannibalism. That was 15 years ago, and even we who saw it coming are having a hard time with just how fast and far it has gone. RIP you once great city.

The other fundamentally problematic assertion is that the non-white world has a better alternative. Let's see. We've got Chinese communism. That works well at promoting freedom. NOT. Most of the rest of the non-white world is Islamic. Great bastion of liberty and freedom there. NOT. Japan? Their entire culture since WW II was re-written to mimic that of America and they've been enormously successful as a result. Same with South Korea.

21st Century Feudalism by Soros and company.
(I have been calling it that since the early 90's.)
