Seattle’s cowardly capitulation contrasts with 4 other cities putting down attempts to establish ’autonomous zones’

Seattle’s Mayor Jenny Durkan has muscled aside Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for the title of most cowardly and ineffective clueless wuss to lead a major American city. She ordered the cops to surrender a precinct to the mob and then permitted a literal insurrection, with a so-called autonomous zone openly defying the sovereignty of the city, state, and nation. Worse, she defends the insurrectionists as street fair participants.

In four other cities, some of them (Portland) as crazy left as the Emerald City, the authorities did their job and quickly showed what any sane person realizes, that civil order requires suppression of insurections.

Emily Zanotti reports for the Daily Wire:

In an effort to replicate the “Seattle Autonomous Zone” in cities nationwide, protesters took to the streets of Asheville, North Carolina, Portland, Oregon, Nashville, Tennessee, and Chicago, Illinois, over the weekend. Warned by what’s happening in the “CHAZ,” though, police departments were quick to shut down those efforts.In Nashville, the effort was over before it even began. (snip)

In Asheville, members of law enforcement were on hand as demonstrators built their temporary lodgings on Livingston street in the center of the city and dismantled the autonomous zone just hours after protesters declared themselves immune from the laws of the United States. (snip)

Asheville cops dismantle the "barricades"

Enough Already. She didn't "permit" anything, She is the Ring Leader, All of it was done Under Her Command and she should be Tried Accordingly for her Active Leadership Role in the Insurrection we are witnessing.

Without her Direct Leadership Role, NONE OF THIS COULD BE DONE!!

PROSECUTE HER

“Clueless”? That description is more appropriate to the author of this article.

The mayor of Seattle along with its city council are in on this. They support Antifa taking over their city, there’s nothing cowardly about it. The terms “evil” “sinister” and “cynical” are far better descriptors of what’s going on.

These monsters are going to get their big “Kent State” moment to use against Trump in the upcoming election no matter how much of their cities they have to destroy in the process.

I think it’s a great idea to let this CHAD fester till November, so Trump can continue to hammer Dementia Joe over it at his rallies till November. Day after the elections, Trump sends in the troops to clear off the trash. A five minute job.

Ashville needs completely cleaned out.

Which will work beautifully for Trump at his campaign rallies. I am willing to bet a lot of money that Seattle’s Mayor Jenny Durkan will feature prominently in Trump’s campaign rally on Sunday. And will be the subject of mockery and ridicule from Trollmeister Trump.
Chuckle.

Hopefully all the NYers will go go home if things get hairy. Asheville and Nashville need a good purge of NYers.add Charlotte too.

[Starboard]

Correct. At some point enabling becomes participation, if not leadership.

CHAD = CHAZ

Funny how so little of this gets media coverage...

[tennmountainman]

The Mayor of Seattle is afraid of RAZ, the CHAZ Warlord and his Tribal
Junta’s.

My brother read me a facebook entry from Seattle. Apparently a group of citizens have given the antifa occupiers until today to leave the occupied zone. If not they are prepared to march on the occupied zone and clear it out themselves.

Did anyone else see this? Sorry I do not have a link. In my mind this would be great! Exactly the way, I believe, all this should be handled. Turn the common American citizen loose, and this crap will be over in short order.

We could call it the democrat’s “dangling CHAD.”

The Antifa crowd will scream, "Where are the cops when we need them?"

My bet is that the Mayor will have the police interfere to quell the riot and "prevent civil disorder." Her sympathies will be made even clearer if this materializes.

[ClearCase_guy]

The government seems to think the CHAZ is outside their own authority. No law enforcement there. No Laws.

But just watch a group of citizens march on the occupied zone and clear it out themselves. Hoo Boy! I imagine the authorities will make making a lot of arrests!

“ I think it’s a great idea to let this CHAD fester till November, so Trump can continue to hammer Dementia Joe over it at his rallies till November. Day after the elections, Trump sends in the troops to clear off the trash. A five minute job.”

Exactly right timing. Pin the lawlessness on the Dims right up through election date and then lower the boom.

What’s kinda funny is that I have a 32 acre “autonomous zone”. But I did it the old fashioned way. I bought it. It’s my property in Kentucky.
