Time for The Militia

Oakland Battleground
Oakland California's mayor Jean Quan must be real proud of herself because because of her weak responses to the civil unrest. Now the demonstrations have turned-into riots. This is exactly what the anarchist leaders of the "Occupy" movement wanted.

Obama Was Wrong (again)
Our leader in the White House sympathesized with the protesters. Look where that's going. People in Oakland are now rioting. He can take some of the blame for encouraging and siding with them. He said that they are like the Tea Party. Not quite, because there were never ANY arrests with Tea Party demonstrators. They were lawful citizens, unlike like the hooligans and radicals in the "Occupy" demonstrations.

What's Next?
It should be obvious that the Oakland Police department cannot let this go any further. They have no choice. People are now rioting. The Police have to protect people and propery. The governor should call-out the National Guard and they should squelch the rioters using any means possible to restore law and order. They should put Oakland under Martial Law.

They should start with a curfew. Arrest anyone who violates it. Limit the sale of dangerous materials like gasoline, ammunition, or explosives. Sell gas only in small amounts for cars only. No gasoline containers allowed - just cars.

They should also avoid using rubber bullets. Rioting stops quickly when looters and vandals are shot. This was the strategy used in 1967 in Detroit, Michigan. It worked and rioters stopped rather quickly after they saw that the law meant to be serious.

This is not joke. We are under attack.

The Patriot Act
They should also impose the powers given in the Patriot Act on Oakland. These people are terrorists. They should be arrested and treated as such. Perhaps they should consider treating their leadership with something called "rendition" which is also legal under the Patriot Act. Fly the riot leadership to a foreign country and let the foreign government perform the questioning on the "Occupy" leadership. Demonstrations would become non-existent.

You can't coddle a rioter. You need to use force. If the demonstrations remain peaceful, then fine. But you can't let these demonstrations turn into life-threatening situations.Police have to protect the community.
