After characterizing the infamous CHOP area of downtown Seattle as a “summer of love,” Mayor Jenny Durkan was eventually forced to acknowledge that the failed communist experiment was responsible for a whopping 525 per cent spike in crime.
As we highlighted yesterday, following weeks of violence and chaos, CHOP was finally dismantled by Seattle police, but only after occupiers marched on Mayor Durkan’s 5,000 sqft., $7.6 million house.
For almost the entirety of June, the area was plagued with fights, bickering, robberies and rapes, with occupiers targeting both outsiders and each other.
It has now emerged that compared to the same period last year, from June 2 to June 30 there was a 525 per cent jump in crime.
This figure is even greater than the 300% number repeatedly cited by Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best.
Rather embarrassingly, after proclaiming a “summer of love” and telling President Trump, “Seattle is fine, don’t be so afraid of democracy,” Mayor Durkan was forced to acknowledge the numbers in her own emergency order.
The order states that there were, “22 additional incidents, in person-related crime in the area, to include two additional homicides, 6 additional robberies, and 16 additional aggravated assaults (to include 2 additional non-fatal shootings).”
So in other words, a commune that was built in the name of opposing violence and brutality led directly to a massive increase in violence and brutality.
So much for the tolerant left!

What were the CHOD cv19 rates per capita?
San Francisco’s Summer of Love in 1967 didn’t really end up all that well either.
Anyone know what happened to the ATMs, bank vaults and business safes that were in the CHOP zone? Suspect that the thugs left because the area had been picked clean.
The mayor and the governor OWN IT ALL.
525% Spike In Seattle Crime: Democrat leadership at it’s finest just think it will get it if they win the election.
FIFY. We aren't doing squat about voter fraud, intimidation, and white guilt.
You are right about that!
I thought that Mayor Dirtkan declared crime to be legal in Seattle.
Oops! This was not what was supposed to happen during “The Summer of Love!”
I guess the leftist nitwits (guv and mayor) made a serious booboo. People dead, lives wrecked, stores looted, Citizens terrorized. Ho hum. Oh, well. Their crappy “summer of love” turned out to be the “summer of liberal lunacy”. LOL. More popcorn! These two pathetic government “workers” should be tarred and feathered and run out of town. However, since the state is replete with “woke” LIB/DIM/leftist nitwits who voted them in...they will likely get awarded some sort of medals.
Why doesn’t the Mayor spend her nights there.
CHAZ/CHOP is the answer to the question,”What if Woodstock had lasted longer than 3 days?
So, President Trump, what happened to declaring Antifa a terrorist organization?
It kind of reminds me of “The Office” episode where Michael declares bankruptcy by shouting out “I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY!”, and someone has to tell him that’s NOT what “declaring” something means, legally.
Tweeting against antifa won’t do the job, Donald! It’s long past time these people are held accountable for their actions, including Soros if it can be shown that he’s financing them.
DO SOMETHING.
We aren’t doing squat about voter fraud;
Trump has been working on it over a year gets no help from congress (democrat club) and the senate is in idle mode.
Remember to purge the lazy at election time.
Only hope the people of the state see how foolish they were by electing who they did and wised up.

RE: CHAZ/CHOP is the answer to the question,”What if Woodstock had lasted longer than 3 days?
1. Were there any killings and shootings at Woodstock?
2. Who played music at the CHAZ/CHOP zones?
Does that “spike” in crime include all the individual crimes committed during the demonstrations/riots? No, I didn’t think so.
I was there. One could see it happening. Gangs moved in pretty openly and bodies started turning up here and there. Rape got to be a recognized sport. Most of never made national news at all.
