If I were in charge of local law enforcement in my city, Portland, I would have placed a very large police presence in the path of the domestic terrorists who were attacking public and private buildings and citizens, causing millions of dollars of damage, serious injury and death and bankrupting a lot of businesses, many minority owned. I would have invited federal law enforcement to protect federal facilities and personnel, not referred to them as occupiers and thugs like our state and city officials did. I would have had all violent offenders arrested (of course, to get them prosecuted, we would have had to get rid of our far left foolish DA as well).
My opinion of the severity of the capitol violence and Trump’s connection to it is definitely less extreme than yours, but I’m very concerned about what happened. I think if you really care about the big picture of our well-being, and I think you do, you should show significantly more concern than is expressed in your posts.

1. The amount of concern I write about specific to any particular subject is mine to choose …..and yours to judge if you wish. Mostly irrelevant to me.
2. The Capitol Insurrection attempt was a historical violent event that challenged the integrity of our democratic continuum .
So post all you want about urban violence. As stated, I don’t connect the two as excuse for either .
