And then the people started getting beat up and robbed and raped and shot. Not a good look...
That whole sordid chapter in how-not-to-run-a-city reminds me of the movie "Escape From New York." And it was soon followed, you might recall, by the sequel, "Escape From Los Angeles." It was the story of "Snake" Plotkin, played by famed actor Kurt Russell. He was an old west gunslinger-type writ into a dystopic future epic, where warlords had occupied major cities and were purging all opposing viewpoints with extreme prejudice.
And all of this would not have been possible without the feckless "leadership" of the mayors of Seattle and Portland. And New York City, of course. Let's not forget NYC. It's Mayor, Bill De Blasio (real name: Warren Wilhelm, Jr.), has (mis)managed to turn this once Safest Big City in America into a veritable wasteland. A mere shadow of its former greatness. A hollowed-out shell of the once-vibrant economic engine of our Great Country. Store after store looted and pillaged and often burned. Every other storefront is covered over with plywood, its owners no doubt trying to plan their own "escape" from New York.

See anything remotely familiar here, Pilgrim?
Anyway, Snake decides to fight his way out of first NYC and then L.A., just like so many of Seattle's soon-to-be-ex-residents are preparing to do. And Portland, too, me thinks. That's because ordinary tax-paying citizens just aren't hep to black-clad thugs setting their businesses on fire. Kind of rude, doncha' think? And beating their residents over the head. And blinding cops with lasers. And looting department stores for anything that can be carried in an effort to snag some of those "reparations."

Downtown NYC looks like a West Virginian's meth addict's mouth; every other business closed. I wonder why there's been no reporting on that by the so-called "MainStreamMedia?" No video at all. It's almost as if the MSM folks don't want you average Americans to know that anarchists have taken over a dozen of our oldest and biggest and "bluest" cities are are tearing them down one brick at a time.
So far more than 1,000 buildings have been trashed in Minneapolis. More than 500 in NYC. Portland has undergone nightly riots for 75 days now. Night falls, protesters protest, then Antifa vandals join in on the action, and start throwing rocks and chunks of concrete and frozen bottles of water at anyone who moves. They start blinding cops with lasers and setting fires and accosting and robbing and beating other protesters. I keep thinking about the folks who live and work there; how do they feel about all of this? How do they feel about having their lives and their economic futures turned upside down in an instant? I haven't seen any news reports about these folks, have you?
Anyway, I'm sure Kurt Russell is writing the screenplay right about now. "Escape: Part 3" is just around the corner, me thinks. Russell will play Snake, of course. And I'm thinking maybe Little Mikey Moore should play the evil, heartless War Lord who's taken over the Town. And since the Election will be over by then, how about Michigan Governor Whitmer for the female lead? We'll turn her into a cruel, whip-cracking, cat suit-clad dominatrix who falls for Snake. That shouldn't take too much acting, me thinks.
And maybe we cast San Fran Nan Pelosi as President. She's always wanted that job, and often pretends daily that she already has it, so it shouldn't be much of a stretch for good ol' Nan. She'll try in the film to negotiate, unsuccessfully, Snake's release from Evil Mikey's custody without having to first clean the poop up off the streets of San Francisco.
And to bring up the end, so to speak, we'll hire Sen. Chuck Schumer to play the part of Seattle's Police Commissioner. It will be his job to explain how Snake managed to escape his custody, before being then savaged and tortured and strung up by the mob.
Maybe "Escape: 3" will resonate with the Hollywood crowd. Maybe we'll soon see what it was like on the inside of this whole "CHOP/CHAD" phenomenon. Maybe we'll come to know how the leaders of a once-beautiful city decided to permit its destruction to play out *LIVE* on national television.
In the meantime, those who've yet to be negatively impacted by this whole Antifa/BLM movement are girding for battle. Or, they've decided to run for the hills before their lives are similarly negatively impacted. What's that sound we hear? It's the roll-up door on the back of U-Haul trucks as they slam shut in preparation for their trip East on the I-10. On their way to somewhere - anywhere - in an effort to escape anarchy...
