Antifa is reportedly seeking armed volunteers to take turns manning barricades and holding ground that protesters have seized within Seattle city limits.The Gateway Pundit reports Antifa set up an “autonomous zone” that includes six square blocks they seized in Seattle. They are reportedly “advocating for ‘folks with firearms’ to take shifts defending the barricades” around the six blocks. (Tweet/Video) Medium reports the alleged seizure of the city blocks was followed by a list of 30 demands for the City Council and Seattle Mayor.The first two center on abolishing the Seattle Police Deparment.Demand one states:

Washington and Seattle Democrats have shown that they are incapable of maintaining order and civility in Washington State.
Trump is showing leadership by providing fair warning that they must act to suppress the anarchy they have tolerated so far.
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee and Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan must be reminded that we are an nation of laws. Either do your jobs or get out of the way!!

I find it humorous- as in gallows humor- that Antifa- against fascism- is not extorting money from business, asking for armed guards to volunteer protect border, and the homeless are their food-
I applaud President Trump reminding that it is state and local issue- and the elected officials need to act.. I am a tad worried this plays into the optics Saul Alinsky would say is opportunity to use to further agenda- destroy America- take down Trump.

President Trump warned them they need to act fast, but Durkan and Inslee only try to one-up the president instead of taking care of the problem. Now the anarchists are trying to become armed, and this could all end up very ugly.

Geez. Who ‘da thunk the Antifa dudes think along the same lines as we do concerning guns for defense? Such irony! It gives the lie to these libs that constantly tell us we don’t need guns and shouldn’t have them!

President Trump has to avoid this madness since it is a local & state problem. Keep federal officers / marshals away from this armed insurrection unless residents trapped inside are left at the mercy of the Antifa and BLM goons. Let the goon loving governor and mayor solve the problem.

And look what they are throwing into the pot of grievances:
The list of demands are followed by a statement: “Although we have liberated Free Capitol Hill in the name of the people of Seattle, we must not forget that we stand on land already once stolen from the Duwamish People, the first people of Seattle, and whose brother, John T. Williams of the Nuu-chah-nulth tribe up north was murdered by the Seattle Police Department 10 years ago.”

First arrest Inslee and Durkan for malfeasance in office for failing to uphold the responsibilities of their office. Use National Guard.
Second put those two in front of the National guard as they surround the area controlled by these trash. When they are inevitably shot, yse that as the excuse to take the Capitol back by force and with severe prejudice. Take no prisoners

President Trump is in a no-win situation on this, and that is exactly why George Soros ordered it!!!
If President Trump doesn't take action soon, the Demon-Rats (and their minions in the MSM) will declare how weak he is and how he doesn't lead when it's needed.
If he sends in the National Guard or military to break this up, he will be accused of being a fascist dictator who is emulating Hitler!!!!
Fortunately, President Trump could really care less about what the Demon-Rats think about him, and he will do what is needed to stop this insanity.
God bless our country, President Trump, and police officers everywhere!!!! We need it now more than ever!!!!

Earlier than anticipated, the clueless dweebs who began this siezure of property are falling apart in both planning and logistics. They are being led, of all things, by a rap "musician." They are already begging for food. They are asking for armed volunteers to take the first volley when somebody decides to take it back. Inslee is in a bad spot for refusing help from the NG and Donald Trump is in the catbird seat. All he has to do is wait this out. People are going to die and it will not be the President's fault, nobody can blame him since he already offered help and it was refused. Thugs are robbing the hostages and will soon begin killing them. BIG black eye for Inslee, the protestors and Antifa. Donald Trump once again shows wise leadership and the opposition are making themselves look like fools.

Asking folks to put their lives on the line in armed conflict is a heavy thing. To what do these brave "soldiers" pledge their lives? For what do they offer to die? Mere anarchy?

I'd like to see an ad:
photos of burning cities, homeless people, drug paraphernalia, radical mobsters running amok, ARMED...
And through it all, the Mayor twiddling her thumbs (or knitting?), Inslee laughing.
The Jim Jones cult just came to mind.

All revolutions lead to civil war, when the victors fight it out for control. The US Civil War wasnt, it was a war of secession.
ANTIFA declared themselves a separate nation.....with no plan. No resources, an infrastructure dependent on the enemy and a captive population.
The right thing to do is to send in the troops and put it down. The amusing thing to do would be to barricade them in and wait them out. .....After cutting off the utilities and preventing thru traffic.

I knew that they would start forcing people in their control, without police protection any more, to pay them off. They are thugs, thugs want money and power. Totally predictable.
The question is now, how far does Trump let these Antifa-Democrats Inslee and Durkan destroy the city, and infringe on people's civil rights before it is necessary to send in Federal troops to restore order?
Seems like Trump needs to directly meet with the Governor and Mayor, and video the meeting. Tell them that they are responsible for the lives and rights of the people who have been effectively kidnapped, and give them some period of time to solve this, or he will solve it for them. Of course, it is likely that they are happy to let this run essentially forever.
Seems like a early AM surgical strike by spec ops with night vision has the best chance of the fewest casualties, innocent and guilty, both. At this point, I see no chance of a fully peaceful resolution, and there will almost certainly be some blood shed to resolve this. That is unfortunate, but these thugs have made their choice to be violent.
Depending on how this goes, it could help or hurt the President in the election. Of course, whatever he does, the Enemedia will scream that it was "too much force" or "he was too weak".....there will be no possibility that the media will say anything good about anything Trump does, as usual.

This is easy.
Use several well equipped, armed ex-SEALs to volunteer, one by one to endear themselves to the leadership, disable them and open up the area.
It may take a week or so, but learn WHO is leading this raggedy-@&&ed militia and STOP IT!!!

The U.S. military has some awesome snipers, that can take these twits out, one by one, from a couple of thousand yards away. If snipers were OK at Ruby Ridge, they are more than OK here!

Where's the A-Team when you need them?
Antifa wants armed volunteers to be the human targets.
Antifa wants the homeless to be the human shields.

Sounds like an armed insurrection to me.
If you want to go easy on them, start by blockading the area, letting no one in. Then cut off their utilities. Jam their internet and cell phone usage. See how long these tough guys can live that way.

Their new little “society” sounds like the mafia. The shakedown of businesses, wanting armed volunteers, etc.
And I thought liberals didn’t like guns, so what’s up with that?
Bunch of hypocrites!

Maybe they can find a retired Democrat supporting military General Officer who will come to Seattle and run their defense force. But that would be risky, as none of those anti-Trump Democrat Generals have ever won a war, they just talk, and collect big pensions and salaries.

How about armed volunteers come to sit on the edge of their space and shoot anyone seen with a gun?
This kind of lawless violence can go both ways, fools.

Like in any war when dealing with an armed encampment you must infiltrate and quietly take out the leadership one by one!

The brazen hypocrisy of the radical Left is coming into stark relief in light of this little insurrection. All of a sudden they've decided they need border barriers and bearing arms? If the MSM were honest they would shine the spotlight on that and discredit this cancerous movement, instead of building up support by romanticizing the central lie of Socialism's equality and justice.

Things to do that don't require full scale military intervention:
- set up facial recognition cameras outside their perimeter; establish identities of armed perps
- determine weapons trail; come on ATF, you can do it
- establish linkages with co-conspirators and friends on the outside; start squeezing financially or otherwise
- respond to requests for more arms and ammo; sabotage both. Be careful, spread out the bad stuff among several lots; watch heads explode - literally
- subpoena Inslee's, the mayor's and the Chief of Police bank accounts
The day is young; I can probably think up a few more.
