Minimalist.

He hasn't logged in for a year and a half, so I think we can safely classify him as 'not here'.

Well, lek just mentioned that all of the cops in seattle suck, for not cracking heads.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Ok. I'll condem it. It's time to go in and clear them out. The rights and safety of the residents are being ignored. What kind of people are running that city? The police actually ran away?

What exactly is happening TO these residents that you feel they must be rescued?

I'm really scratching my head looking for reasons to be against this thing. I thought conservatives, libertarians, anti government folks would be supportive of this. Guess their chosen media outlets told them to be outraged so they listened.

I’ll be happy to correct my earlier statement if you can point to a single active AF member posting that all cops are murderous racists (or ‘racist murderers’, I won’t quibble).

Fair point. There certainly doesn’t seem to be a hue and cry from Seattle residents begging for military intervention.

I guess it's ok if you don't mind someone putting barricades around and declaring that you're no longer a part of your country. If I'm burglarized or something I'd like to have the police come without having to negotiate with someone I haven't elected before they can see me. They have no right to baracade my neighborhood.

Sure, but it's not like ancoms and BLM protesters invaded a random part of Seattle. From what I gather Capitol Hill is known as a beacon of counterculture in the city... meaning most residents don't have the mindset you might.
