I remember quite clearly that they did. It was a no-go zone for cops, and a hive of criminal activity.

The Times' only recourse is to object that "six square blocks" of Capitol Hill doesn't constitute a "major portion". It does if you happened to live there. Or nearby, because travel in the surrounding area was also affected. The real problem here is that the media are demanding a precision of accuracy in every word that they themselves blatantly fail to meet every single day.

i also remember someone driving a stolen car into CHAZ to avoid police

the CHAZ occupants shot him

no one was charged

CHOP is still one of the usual suspects for violent, lawless activities in Seattle. Others are 3rd and Pike, 12th and Jackson, University District, South Seattle, etc. So what Trump must have meant in saying “a big portion of the city,” was “many portions of the city” — at least too many for the Seattle Times reporters to look away and not see.

I live halfway between Portland and Seattle. If you were on I-5 you could at times see cars and buses full of Antifa rolling back and forth between the two hellholes.

Proud boys kept them at bay, and protected citizens, they have now been destroyed by the US government. Labeled as Right Wing Insurrectionists and criminals. We participated in a MAGA drag twice, and they kept us from trouble as we attempted to get onto the WA state Capitol grounds. Cops wouldn’t let us in, Antifa and BLM locked it down. The State troopers and Police gabe them a safe bubble to destroy.

Everytime I saw pics or video of these punks, I wished to be 25 years old a carrying a baseball bat, wearing a helmet.

What should have happened was like Chicago 1968 DNC, or Kent State. Nobody protected city property, private business or citizens.

I still love where they had to put out an appeal because after they invited all in, the homeless ate all of their food.
