SEATTLE -- Following days of violent confrontations with protesters, police in Seattle have largely withdrawn from a neighborhood that protesters have transformed into a festival-like scene that has President Donald Trump fuming.
Trump taunted Gov. Jay Inslee and Mayor Jenny Durkan about the situation on Twitter and said the city had been taken over by anarchists."
Take back your city NOW. If you dont do it, I will, Trump tweeted.
The Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone sprung up after police on Monday removed barricades near the East Precinct and basically abandoned the structure after officers used tear gas, pepper spray and flash bangs over the weekend to disperse demonstrators they said were assaulting them with projectiles.
The president has sparred before with Inslee and Durkan both liberal Democrats. Inslee previously sought his party's presidential nomination.
Inslee tweeted Thursday that state officials will not allow threats of military violence from the White House.
The U.S. military serves to protect Americans, not the fragility of an insecure president, he tweeted.

Beyond extraordinary how dishonest the press in this country is and continues to be - anarchists taking over and occupying an area is reported as the President "fuming" about people having a festival.

Whatever happens, will be portrayed as Trump’s fault.

Woodstock was a “festive zone”. If it had gone on another few day’s there would have been nothing festive about it.
A person can go without food for a few days. Then it stops being fun.

So if armed Proud Boys cordon off a Seattle neighborhood and start charging business owners “taxes” will ABC news refer to that as ‘festive’? Will the mayor order police out of the neighborhood and Inslee feign ignorance of its even happening?
And what if someone tries to pull down Lenin’s statue? Will that be OK?

It is impossible to watch the news, even FNC! Cavuto is just as bad as MSM.

Trump should just stop it. Let this play out. It will not end well for the libs who run Seattle and Washington State. It will show the American people what a socialist hell-hole looks like.

" . . . a neighborhood that protesters have transformed into a festival-like scene that has President Donald Trump fuming. Trump taunted Gov. Jay Inslee and Mayor Jenny Durkan about the situation on Twitter and said the city had been taken over by 'anarchists.'"
I can't believe how they are spinning this. It doesn't look like a very "festival-like" scene. It's already beginning to resemble a homeless camp, with tents pitched in and around the streets, and even though the article puts the word "anarchists" in quotes, as if it's some Trumpian exaggeration or misrepresentation, that is what many of the "protesters" call THEMSELVES. And what DO you call a group of people who claim to have seceded from the country and set up their own little "autonomous" nation?
It is an illegal occupation of public and private property, not a "festival." There are already indications that the group is preparing for violence if/when the authorities properly throw them out. They are reportedly demanding protection money from businesses in the area, they are controlling who can come into the area, they are brandishing rifles, and are trying to obtain chemicals to use to make bombs in the event of a confrontation with police.
