When Governments Fail: Olympia Edition

"Take your hood off. Set a spell. Y'all come back now, hear?"

This is amazing. 

Some excellent local journalism from The Olympian : Olympia mayor’s home, downtown vandalized during Friday night protest (video included)

The Wokety-Woke Mayor of Olympia had her house vandalized by ANTIFA. After days of rioting, the howling mob in the street sent a punk to graffiti her porch, despite flying a rainbow flag and having a large BLM-sign in her front window. It was her version of “We’re on your side, we’re on your side!”.

Mayor Cheryl Selby: “I’m really trying to process this. It’s like domestic terrorism. It’s unfair. It hurts when you’re giving so much to your community.”

It’s not “like” domestic terrorism, lady–it IS domestic terrorism! And YOU are in charge of stopping it!

Is it only domestic terrorism when it happens to you? Evidently. She had ordered the police to simply follow the group from a distance as they vandalized, smashed windows and beat people with impunity. She thinks her job is to solve the “crisis” of “400 years of oppression”. A four-century “crisis”?

“People have so little grace for each other right now. We need to have more grace,” Selby said.

That's not grace. It's cowardice. Her real job is to protect her community, but she abdicated her real job.

There was a group of counter-protestors cleaning up after the Locusts and helping the wounded. Good. Somebody's gotta do it, since the mayor is vacationing in Stockholm Syndrome. Compare this to the much larger large Plandemic Protests in Olympia recently, where no one was beaten and no one rioted.

These governors and mayors think their citizens won’t leave. They think their businesses won’t close or relocate. They think trucks will keep delivering and tourists will keep visiting with no reliable civic order. They seem to think letting looters run wild will win them elections. They think the cops will keep doing their jobs as politicians throw them under the bus.

And they think they can turn the rioters on and off like a light switch. Then they're shocked, shocked when the Mob Comes After Them.

Read some History, lady. They Always Do.
