I know a lot of people who are having trouble handling the way things are going. The left has engaged in sustained, random, low-intensity violence on a national level. People feel they need to prepare, but they can't retaliate, and that constant edgy readiness is already wearing people down while the left continues to randomly burn and loot with impunity.
Do people have some ideas on how to handle that constant background noise without getting worn down and losing before the fight even begins? I've been able to compartmentalize and just wait to do the job that's in front of me, but not everyone can do that.
Move.
No, seriously, move.
As I see it, there is fundamentally no difference between the riots and looting you see today, and life as usual in a top 25 major metro area. You're seeing all the same shit, it's just condensed. Instead of a year of shoplifting, a couple nights of looting. Instead of years of capital flight and urban blight, a few nights of arson.
The only thing that's changed is the speed at which its occurring.
Leave.
Let them ruin the major metros.
We're moving. Out of Seattle. To another state.
This place will not be coming back to normal America in the foreseeable future, look at the people they keep electing over and over again.
This leadership has seen transgendered strippers at official gatherings, taught required racist policies to its employees, hired a $150,000 a year convicted pimp to keep the streets safe, let homeless overtake the sidewalks and the parks, and put much of downtown just right down the shitter out of business. Oh, not to mention the catastrophe that is Seattle's shrinking police force. I was down there today, oy.
They are turning this city into a dumping place of lowlifes looking for a handout. It's pathetic. I tell you the next 10 years are not going to be kind to Seattle. This is a great time to leave.
I dunno that you need to leave Washington.
Washington state is, on the whole, not terrible. Having no personal income tax sounds pretty good.
I mean, just looking around on google maps, Quincy looks nice, not that far from Wenatchee.
Out here in Iowa if you're within 40 miles of a Wal-Mart that's considered cosmopolitan (and you get used to the fact that, in a sense, it really is).
You might want to re-assess your definitions of "property rights" and "civil liberties" in the state of Washington. Because you don't have any.
Elaborate. My understanding is Washington caselaw is stand your ground.
I think you've just spent too much time in Snohomish and King counties.
