#6  What does the "Democracy Dies in Darkness" crowd have to say about this?

Nothing?

#5  Must have been an eye opener when the enemies of the US realized they didn't have to treat journalists with kid gloves, they could outright abuse them and still get favorable treatment in the press.

#4  Not derelict. Deliberate.

By now it should be obvious that Antifa ate the shock troops of our Red Woke-sheviks. Deplorables are the equivalent of the Whites and other counter-revolutionaries.

This is civil war -- but only one side its fighting aggressively and kinetically.

#3  Any place like that where law enforcement is not welcome is exactly where law enforcement needs to be. Send the Marines if necessary but this occupation, this mob rule, this little Antifa insurrection, must be ended. This only differences between this and the January 6 Capitol Building breach are location and the fact that this is unopposed. Biden is derelict in his duty, to say the least, if he doesn't send federal troops to stop it.

#2  "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, "

"nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

An arbitrary and capricious decision by a local government executive is apparently sufficient to deprive residents of the US of fundamental civil rights by turning them into subjects of a despotic warlord regime.

The idea of a free and open society, protected by a republican form of government aka "The Free World" is dying with a whimper.

Nuts!
