Seattle Mayor Wants to Dismantle CHOP Zone Without Resorting to Police
Newsweek ^ | June 23, 2020 | Khaleda Rahman

Posted on 06/23/2020 10:12:47 AM PDT by libstripper

Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan said city officials will work with Black-led community organizations to dismantle the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest (CHOP) zone.

Durkan on Monday announced the city will move to end protesters' occupation of several blocks in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, but officials have yet to outline exactly when or how it will be done.

However, Durkan noted that efforts to clear the area, originally named the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ), of protesters would be led by community organizers, rather than law enforcement.

I posted yesterday that police should not be forced into the no-win situation. Media and Pelosi types will say they forced violence by their militaristic posture-—even if they do not fire one shot all day.

Send in social workers and humanistic holistic counselors to do the job. They may have to duck gunfire and knives along with rocks and bricks like the police. A shame./s

Do you think someone this stupid, KNOWS they are this stupid and in over their head? Will they admit defeat?

You must be kidding. Never, never happen.

My question is: is she calling higher-ups in the Democrat party and asking for help?

If so, I wonder what kind of offers of assistance she's getting? Or are they treating her like a leper, writing her off as hopelessly damaged. I don't think they did that with Stephanie Rawlings-Blake after she gave the mob "room to destroy" in Baltimore, but Stephanie had something going for her that Jenny Durkan lacks.

What happens when they rob the community organizers? This moron is up for reelection in November. Let’s see how stupid the residents of Seattle are if they reelect her?

That part jumped right out! There's the law, and then there's the lawless, with their own rabbler-rousing "Community Organizer in Chief - Barack Obama".

I remember the pics where he was speaking with hand signals.

I know of a retired community organizer who’d be perfect for this job.

When she learns they are not susceptible to "reason", she will attempt to "negotiate".

Then she will learn the goalposts in any negotiation will continually move.

Then she will learn there is no way she can hold up her end of the bargain.

She will then be forced to use the police or resign.

She is too stupid to move directly to step 4.

I bet she tries paying the leaders off with taxpayer money. Might work, might not.

Cartoon of armed punk....

Really great cartoon.

They actually demand ID of the people but would sue if a state said they needed it to vote.

And their easygoing life in the “Summer of Love” works if all meals, supplies, hygienic and sanitary needs are fully met by other people donating it all to them. Nice life.

Maybe I want to plant a big garden in Gretchen Whitmer’s backyard in Lansing, MI, sleep in her mansion with meals served by maids, and drive around in her limos. Why not? I feel like doing it and I may not recognize her property rights (taxpayer supplied), her viewpoints or her supervisory power over my life. Like CHOP.

I bet Madam Mayor is planning to run for higher office.
And I bet her constituents will vote for her.

Funny one. First play the Muslim Call To Prayer to attract him to drift inside , almost in a trance. Then people will mob him tearfully and excitedly touch his garments and praise him. Beg him to run for a third term with a quickly passed emergency national constitutional amendment. With anti-Trump military chiefs backing him up.

Sadly, it could happen.

Private security firm hired by residents to patrol CHOP: ‘There’s a lot of chaos going on’!

As good cops retire or just resign, more private security firms will be hiring these former cops and trained military.

That is more like it. They will funnel money to these thugs and anarchists. Perhaps just once they will cooperate, because they know the mayor is on their side.

“I have conferred with the superintendent of police this morning and I gave him the following instructions, which I thought were instructions on the night of the fifth that were not carried out. I said to him very emphatically and very definitely that [he should issue an order] immediately and under his signature to shoot to kill any arsonist or anyone with a Molotov cocktail in his hand in Chicago because they’re potential murderers, and to issue a police order to shoot to maim or cripple any arsonists and looters—arsonists to kill and looters to maim and detain.”
Mayor Daley April 1968

Ah, how we miss him.

Not just stupid, but inexcusably ignorant. If she just looked at the history of occupations like this, except far less serious, there isn’t a one that hasn’t had to be ended by force, either passive or active. Passive force would be closing off the area and active would be entering it and physically removing the occupiers. The big difference between this and its predecessors is the terrorists have actually formed a rudimentary soviet and are governing a group of people who’ve had no say in the takeover. That’s very headdy stuff for the terrorists, not something they’ll voluntarily surrender, especially when they’re the ones with the guns.

So is she caving in to the ridiculous list of demands?
