I'm near Raleigh as well and have been following the speedway story. Even in my small town there was a BLM protest march last week that my wife and I witnessed gathering during our evening walk. Local police approached the group and offered to chaperone them down the street and block side streets as they marched to ensure safety. It was all peaceful and made possible through cooperation between the police and the public. However, there were at least 75-100 people in the group, which clearly violates NC phase 2 order of no gatherings larger than 25 people outdoors.

 

LOL. I am up in Wake Forest...

 

Like everyone else, I have no problem with peaceful protests all  day and night. However, you would think it sets a precedent allowing outdoor gatherings over 25 people.

 

Maybe one of our resident attorneys could weigh in...

Anarchy in Seattle

City Journal, by Christopher F. Rufo

 

Original Article

 

Seattle’s hard-Left secessionist movement has claimed its first territory: six blocks in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. For the past week, Black Lives Matter and Antifa-affiliated activists have engaged in a pitched battle with Seattle police officers and National Guard soldiers in the neighborhood, with the heaviest conflict occurring at the intersection of 11th and Pike, where law enforcement had constructed a barricade to defend the Seattle Police East Precinct building. Hoping to break through the barricade, protesters attacked officers with bricks, bottles, rocks, and improvised explosive devices, sending some officers to the hospital.

The night before the larger peaceful march a smaller subset of that group of 5-10 people roamed the streets of my subdivision. They were loudly chanting and banging mailboxes. This went on from 11 pm to well past 1 am. The police were also aware of this as well and followed them, but did not stop them. I was awake during the time and did not hear anything personally,  but I'm at the bottom of a cul-de-sac.  Needless to say neighbors who had this going on directly in front of their homes at 1:30 am were not happy that the police allowed it to continue.

As mob power grows, speak now or forever (be forced to) hold your peace.

Folks, what is going on in Seattle is just the start.

 

If they are allowed to be successful...............

 

Imagine if many cities blocks are closed off to these thugs in every other major city in the country?

 

We do not want a heavy military force on domestic soul for military operations, but at what point does Trump not have another choice but to do this?

We are fortunate, we live on 6 acres in the woods off a dead end road. To find us you literally have to be lost

The Autonomous Zone in Seattle is hilarious.

 

Three days in and they’re already starving, and are being brutalized by a self-ordained warlord.

 

Three.  Days.

This is a somewhat lengthy article, but I highly recommend it.  Jonathan Chait is a leftist and at times can be partisan.  But he has been speaking out about the "illberal left" for quite some time.  He had a really eye opening article that I remember reading back in 2015.

 

Excerpt from the tweeted article from below.

 

 

Quote

 

Politics is a matter of life and death. If you start with the premise that one side has a monopoly on truth, you inevitably land on the conclusion that questioning its ideas is dangerous.

The question isn’t whether the Times should apply any ideological standard to its columns; it always has. The question is whether the appropriate standard is one that lends itself so readily to abuse. The norm of suppressing a belief because somebody saying it makes them or others unsafe has left a trail of absurd or horrifying episodes in academia and elsewhere that many progressives insisted didn’t matter because It Wouldn’t Happen Here. And yet as this norm spreads, its central flaw has never been resolved: Any definition of “unsafe” that aims for a Tom Cotton will hit a David Shor or a Lee Fang.

I was looking at some pics today and can't stop laughing.  It reminds me of a mix of 18-20 years old getting kicked out of parents house because they are drug addicts and kids selling lemonade on the side of the road.

 

It's a glorified flee market.

Still waiting for your examples of how “Obama definitely fanned the flames and set race relations back to before the '60s. For a man that could have united, he definitely was the great divider-in-chief.”

@Buffalogal Still waiting GF!

So, you have to be lost to find your way back home? I see a new purpose for those with dementia. (side note: I'm experiencing that in my family)
