Best idea. They have already called for an ambulance and police due to injury,

I've travelled pretty extensively in europe and asia, and I don't think I've ever seen a country walled off. Berlin, sure, but that's done. Great wall of China? Yes, but not really. Customs and stuff yes absolutely. Had my passport scrutinized many times. I've never seen a wall.
I've seen one in Norwich, England. I understand there's one between Greece and Turkey. Turkey and Syria. Turkey and Bulgaria. I've seen a beautiful one around Vatican City. I understand there is the West Bank Wall built by Israel.
I think it is only Turkey & Syria. Greece and the Vatican city have walls that date back to early centuries. I don't think they count anymore. There is no customs to get into Vatican city.
No customs, but there is a wall. We're talking walls, not customs. And an entrance point you have to wait in line to get in. Walls matter, and walls count, whether you "think" they do or not. When your country borders a country like Mexico where people are permitted to pass through to get to your country, then you have standing to argue the importance of walls. Until then, you don't know crap about it.

Um, I'm not arguing the not-importance of walls. I'm simply saying that very few other countries do this, while CHAZ should. I don't think living in a country that borders mexico gives one the only power to talk about border walls. Put a wall around CHAZ. It's what they want. Problem solved.

No, the anarchists who invaded it should experience what they're asking for. If they're autonomous they have to figure out their own legal systems, first aid systems, governing body, food import/export, etc, etc, etc,. The people who own property and business are casualties here. Should we let them be held hostage for longer?
How many countries have border barriers?
There are a total of about 70 border barriers worldwide, Elisabeth Vallet, director of the Center for Geopolitical Studies at the University of Quebec-Montreal, told Journalist's Resource. Her research demonstrates how popular these structures have become — there were about 15 of them in 1990. Feb 5, 2019
who is going to apologize to me for the way the Irish and Scottish were treated for 1000 years?
Scottish and Irish aren't races....
The entire black race was not slaves either. Yes, some were selected to be and brought over here.
"selected" = kidnapped, beaten, raped, stolen, dragged, killed, etc.... And yes, black is a race. (there is an official term but good enough)/ You make it sound like they won a contest!
Actually, they likely lost a war. Africans sold losing tribes into slavery.

What Chaz is doing is no different than what the South attempted to do before the civil war. Declare themselves autonomous and not subject to government rule.
And the business owners are going to be casualties of that. I, for one, don't think we should let it happen, but this is a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation for Trump. The local leaders have to ask him for help. They are letting this continue. And those are the elected officials. The people need to be more careful about who they put in charge.

Absolutely. And if they are not going to do anything about it, it's time for the rest of the country to flat out abandon them. They want to be autonomous? Build your own power plants, grow your own food, and I'm sure there's some nurses and EMTs in there with them. Let them deal with their problems themselves. People get hungry - they will go home.

What she is saying is it wasn't the mean old white man going in and stealing Africans from their dirt floor huts. It was their fellow Africans. So why not put the blame where it belongs?
Africans are still stealing other Africans from schools, homes, streets, everywhere, to sell. It's still going on. Why isn't that being addressed?

Are you talking about human traffiking? That's a pretty race-neutral issue.

They still are but now selling to Middle Eastern countries.

I guess calling it "human trafficking" by them doesn't mean that those blacks sold blacks into slavery. They were just "human trafficking". But, the whites were selling slaves!
Yes, that's human trafficking. All races do that. And every country.
So, with that you are acknowledging that all races have suffered as well, not just African Americans?
I acknowledge that you are missing the point.
Then, please, make your point glaringly obvious!
Because what I see is your doing everything you can to make it two separate things, when it's just the same thing, only not as divisive as the liberals need it to be to keep their narrative going.

Today, I received emails from several of our biggest accounts and partners that they will be closed on Friday in observance if Juneteenth...
SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?!?
One, people need to quit groveling and secon, what is junetenth?
Right?
Juneteenth (a portmanteau of June and nineteenth),[2] also known as Freedom Day,[3]Jubilee Day,[4] and Cel-Liberation Day,[5] is an American holiday celebrated annually on June 19. It commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union general Gordon Granger read federal orders in Galveston, Texas, that all previously enslaved people in Texas were free.[6] Although the Emancipation Proclamation had formally freed them almost two and a half years earlier, and the American Civil War had largely ended with the defeat of the Confederate States in April, Texas was the most remote of the slave states, with a low presence of Union troops, so enforcement of the proclamation had been slow and inconsistent.[6]

We learned about Juneteenth in school. I agree, celebrate it. We go crazy over Cinco de mayo. So why not celebrate this?
But it isn't a national holiday, so that's fine.

Our governor has declared it a state holiday. Whatever. I don't care one way or another. They want to celebrate it? Fine with me.
I learned about it about 15 years ago. I was working for DOJ and they had trivia contests once a week during the various months. During Black History Month they had a trivia question on it. Basically whoever could google the answer the fastest and respond first would get a prize. I won a really nice African mask carved from wood. I have it on a display shelf in my office. Anyway, that's when and where I learned about Juneteenth. DH had never heard of it before until last week when I told him about it. It came up because Trump rescheduled one of his rallies which had been scheduled on the 19th and out of respect he changed it to the 20th. This was before the governor decided to try to one up him.

Don't think the war of 1812 counts as a win for Canada. It was a war with Britain, and ended in a stalemate. Canada didn't even become an independent country until 1867 (and that's debatable - some say it wasn't until 1931).
The U.S. has won a lot of wars and not sold anyone into slavery. But the point was that the Africans were a great factor in selling their own people into slavery - it's not just the white man at fault for slavery.

No. The military does not need to "take them out".
What needs to happen is to let it fail miserably. Become the poster child for all things liberal.
I will support the arrest and prosecution for anyone proven to have broken the established law.
Yes, it is showing America what liberal socialism will really be if allowed to thrive.
CHAZ is an example of neither socialism or liberalism.
Ya huh
Their idea of socialism and liberalism. If the mayor wasn’t enabling them and providing for them on the backs of taxpayer, they will come to understand real socialism
