Why are the DEMOCRATS in Seattle putting up with this nonsense instead of putting an end to it?
because the cowards are afraid of riots
Because the “Democrats” are actually Marxists. Every time this type of effort has any success, it helps with Antifa’s (actually Marxist) recruitment, which is the result the politicians want. If a different result is desired, then Antifa should never be allowed to win. There should be no delay in the response. The perpetrators should be treated as criminals and taken off the streets.
Remember the attempt to recall the Seattle mayor? She was being recalled because tear gas was “indiscriminately” used against the demonstrators/rioters, not because little was done to protect private property. If an attempt was made to recall the mayor for that reason, Antifa would have targeted the property of those leading that recall without having to be concerned about anyone resisting them. This is the ideal situation for the Marxist to grow their power.
This problem has been brewing in the Seattle area for decades, with the incessant promotion of victimization and hatred of those who have achieved success. Things will get much worse before there is any chance of it improving.
Well, DUH!!!!!
Because they are of the same ilk and they agree with it. They enable it like enabling a drug addict.
That's how these blighted democRATic controlled states and cities become shit holes. Because the leaders allow this crap and let it happen. They are not real leaders. They're afraid to make the right decisions to stop it for fear offending the homeless and criminal elements. So they do nothing. Until eventually the rot consumes the whole area.
Why even democRATic taxpayers would continue to throw their money down a rat hole is beyond me but the mentally ill are not rational.
