Something tells me that is not how it is going to play out.
Letting these slimeballs overrun a neighborhood, barricade themselves in, and use armed guards to keep people out, and others in, while also conducting an extortion racket, is nothing different than having a bunch of convicts take over a prison block, and hold people hostage. Only the moron Mayor Jenny “Furkin’ Her Gherkin” Durkan, would find that acceptable behavior, and label it a “Summer of Love,” which by the way happened in 1967. This person does not have the best interest of the people of Seattle in mind, and is an extreme embarrassment. You know the libs in Hollywierd will be making a movie of this. Let’s see, who will play Jenny “Furkin’ Her Gherkin” Durkan on the big screen?
Jodie Foster? Jussie Smollett? Any other suggestions?
This is how you fix the autonomous zone without firing a shot, no tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets and no violence.
Surround the area with National Guard, block all streets from ingress and egress. Turn off all of the utilities including sewer. Turn off the lights and water. No food can be brought in. Scramble all cell phone service, cable and TV. Blast in Slim Whitman music 24 hours a day. I promise you, after about 10 days, these thugs will be begging to let them out. As they file out arrest all of them. Take kids to social services. Separate the able bodied men and make them clean up the mess they made and then arrest them.
Repeat as necessary. Your welcome Seattle, no charge for this solution.
