SEATTLE -- Following days of violent confrontations with protesters, police in Seattle have largely withdrawn from a neighborhood that protesters have transformed into a festival-like scene that has President Donald Trump fuming.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 don’t 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.

I hate that SOB. HIs voice makes me cringe. He’s the worst right now at FOX by far.
Woodstock was with permission on someone’s private land, and had permits on top of that.
This is a siege of public and private property, but no one will call it that.
They won’t last long. You ought to see the veggie “garden” they planted. I’ve been LMAO!!!!
There, fixed it!

Regards,
the affirmative action police chief in Seattle just threw the mayor under the bus by stating that the decision to abandon this area was ‘not her decision’ (and covering her ass)
Wait until the morons continue to expand their “zone”.
I hope there is something between “slaughtering them” and just fuming on Twitter.
1. Let it fester for a few days. Be patient.
2. Then surround the place with seriously overwhelming military force. I’m talking thousands...
3. At the same time, shut off all water, electricity, cell towers, incoming foot or vehicle traffic. Nobody goes in or out period. Yes a few civilians might be uncomfortable.
Wait them out.
No food, no water, no utilities, no matter how many armed thugs they have at their fence, 3 of 4 days going hungry and they won’t have much fight left.
Then arrest every damn one of them.
I'm kind of enjoying it as an example of leftist stupidity.
Our military takes the same oath as all politicians “To protect our country from all enemy’s, foreign or domestic”.
What part of domestic don’t you morons understand.
The liberals deserve everything they get. They created the monster. They fed it. They fostered it. They encouraged it. They allowed it to fester. They aided and abetted it, and are now wondering why it is biting the hand that fed it. And they have no clue how to deal with it, or how to cover it up. Clueless in Seattle. You reap what you sow libs.
I think Trump should just sit back and enjoy Seatle destroying itself. I’d love to see the protesters march on Bill Gates’ house.
The only people who are claiming Seattleites are suffering are right wingers. I have yet to hear from a true Seattle resident.
Invasion, insurrection, sedition, and terrorism.
You surely don't actually believe the guard would do anything? Recall the guard members kneeling in front of the mobs??
That kind of action would require leadership at the state and local level.
Ain't gonna happen.
“festival-like” scene? These people are insane.
But sadly many take them at their word.
Couldn’t Trump send in the FBI? This group has declared itself an independent “autonomous” area, which is sedition, a federal crime.
You know, you have some good ideas.
Now all you need is a billionaire that will back you to build a conservative army that will occupy Seattle.
