" . . . 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.

Invasion, insurrection, sedition, and terrorism.

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.

They have kidnapped the locals and held them hostage in their “festival”.

I want to hear the WA governor and Seattle Mayor try to spin it that way as well.

You can’t make up this stuff!

It is time to send in the Apache gunships and incinerate the place.

If the cities that allow this are incinerated, the rest of them might get the message that the party is over and the adults are taking charge.

It is way past time.
