    Where are you getting this nonsense? No barricades have been removed, people are bing check in and out and the police are still not allowed to enter the area. The people in that area are arguing among themselves as to what to do. As for the Mayor, the woman is a dimwit, a total leftist wacko and she has helped destroy Seattle by allowing rampant drug usage and homelessness. The last time I was there was about 15 years ago and that is what I saw - people using drugs and sleeping on the streets. The place is a cesspool thanks to Democrat "leadership".


    Listen to what she really said friend, the Chief talked very clearly about the situation in that area, especially concerning the long time for response to 911 calls. She said: “If that is your mother, your sister, your cousin, your neighbor’s kid that is being raped, robbed assaulted (or) otherwise victimized, you’re not going to want to have to report that it took the police three times longer to get there to provide services to them,”. “It was never an option to have residents of the precinct, many of whom are members of our most marginalized communities by the way, waiting for an extra length of time for an officer to arrive to a violent crime in progress,”.

    She said this yesterday to her officers about protecting the precinct: “I asked you to stand on that line. Day in and day out. To be pelted with projectiles. To be screamed at. Threatened, and in some cases hurt. Then to have a change of course nearly two weeks in. It seems like an insult to you and our community,” “ultimately, the city had other plans for the building”. Then the Mayor caved to the pressure of the mob.

    You have got to stop getting your information from CNN - they either lie or don't report what actually happened.

    Read the quote from Carmen Best in the Seattle Times article. That video was her initial press release. She has since walked back the rumour about id checks and businesses being extorted and stated that the protesters have been mostly peaceful.

    Here is a video

    I didn't address that stuff, I addressed the other things she said. The place is not a "peaceful nirvana" like the Mayor and others like CNN contend.

    Timing is important. When the police were there escalating tensions, yes it wasn't a Nirvana.
    Since the police have pulled back, it has been peaceful.

    No, it has not been peaceful. There is infighting going as to who is going to control things. In interviews with area residents I have heard on the radio these people say they are terrified because of what is happening. People are banging on their doors and gates at night and gunshots are going off. A CNN reporter was about to be attacked by a "protestor" as he was doing a live roll. Yeah, a nice and peaceful place for sure.

    But anyway, keep your internet tuned to Nashville, Tennessee where some people are going to try the same crap. Gov. Bill Lee says he is not going to put up with the same nonsense that the political leaders in Washington State are doing. "The laws will be enforced", Gov. Lee said.

    I don’t know why I give you the benefit of the doubt after all the fake news I read here, but until you show some evidence, all this is under the category of rumour. Even if true, it sounds pretty consistent with what Best described.

    How is it peaceful if your neighborhood has been taken over by communist thugs and your government has betrayed you. That is like saying that Poland was peaceful after the Germans took over.

    ABC (AUS) Seattle has formed an 'autonomous zone' amid the US protests. This is what it's like inside

    It is illegal to cordon off people's homes like that.

    The violence will result when the communists resist arrest by the locals trying to restore order.

    All illegal takeovers by definition are violent attacks. Antifa will fight when they are asked to leave. That is why the city and state want the feds to do their job and remove these veterans of Occupy Wall Street from the Seattle neighborhood. Antifa is communist and terrorist. No one wants them around.

    Seattle quote originator is a concern troll - other cities may follow CHAZ. Preferably ones with GOP governors up for re-election this year . . . but Nashville didn't bite.


    Journalistic misconduct, simply propaganda. Even worse, they're doing the enemy's dirty work - the Seattle mayor really, really wants Trump to fall into this trap. She is on their side, not Trump's. .

    Those middle aged women giving away vegetables might be hiding stashes of automatic weapons under those tables. Better send in the SEALs.
