SEATTLE -- Following days of violent confrontations with protesters, police in Seattle have largely withdrawn from a neighborhood that protesters have transformed into a festival-like scene that has President Donald Trump fuming.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.

I’m with you 100%...sit back and let nature take its course.
And bring on the popcorn.
You’re right. I hope there’s something WORSE than slaughtering them.
But that’s just me :)
Violent takeover of a part of the USA.
That’s war. They RIGHT NOW CONTROL a part of the USA.
What would we do if it was an insurgent army from central America that took a little piece of American land like this?
Yeh, protection money - how festive. Captives to use for ransom, how festive. I keep thinking of the Angelenos who flocked to Seattle in the 90s - hope they are enjoying that feces-hole of a dump.
Perfect.
if these were white nationalists, they'd be dead by now...
This should solve a lot of problems and nobody gets hurt.
Trump has the constitutional obligation to put down insurrection.
the neighborhoods where the super-elites live like Magnolia, Queen Anne, Laurelhurst, etc are untouched, life as usual...
they think this is a joke

This man (Raz) is the new police chief in in that part of #Seattle taken over by #Antifa (which by the way doesnt exist according to media & if it did, hasnt taken part in BLM riots). He has been assaulting ppl for 3 days. Real police nowhere to by seen
Did the choose a king of the zone yet?
Well, that was a short lived anarchy
Oh it’s festive alright, they are already beating people up and shaking down stores, and then there’s the pointing guns at people thing as well, but it’s for sure festive.Kind of like a Roman Saturnalia. Maybe they’ll burn a few people at the stake tonight. That’ll be festive, though I suppose ‘necklacing’ is more popular these days.

I wish Trump had and listened to an adviser who would tell him to stop the idle threats. Each one costs him votes and makes him look weak.
He just guaranteed that the ‘festival’ isn't going anywhere. Actually look for more 'festivals' to start popping up elsewhere.
There is no crime of "sedition" in the United States. There is "seditious conspiracy" available, but requires an intent to overthrow the government of the United States. The State of Washington has a sedition code, but it's for them to apply.
#26) In conclusion, the NFL, the NBA, the City of Seattle, the City of New York, the City of Chicago, et al. are all on borrowed time. There will be twelve more demands.

Sadly you are correct. Ugh.
I would say send in the FBI, but I don’t trust them either.
