Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan said Thursday that neither she nor city police Chief Carmen Best had any intention of resigning -- despite calls from protesters that they do so.

"The answer is no and no," Durkan told reporters a news conference, according to Seattle's KUOW Public Radio.

"We thought about a 'Thelma & Louise' moment," she added, referring to a 1991 movie about two women on the run from the law.

You can join the mob and egg them on as they loot, destroy and murder - - but eventually, the mob comes for you.

Hey suckah. It wasn't my idea to abandon the precinct. Blame that white girl.

She might end up as President and be the first President to abandon the White House so that people can vent their frustrations.

A form of self expression which infringes on everyone else’s rights?

Sorry Jenny, your thought process is whacko.

Maybe she is hoping for a so called 2nd surge of the virus so we can play that game again.

Are property owners in Chazistan still on the hook for property taxes paid to Seattle and King County...?

Inquiring minds want to know.

If Seattle wants to cede its authority to a declared free state, maybe we should let them. Then, the Conservative Eastern part of the state can declare its independence from the coast and put up barricades, too and stop any enforcers from the Democrats from entering.

Live stream from CHAZ last night:

I say leave 'em alone and let them have their fun. It isn't Lord of the Flies, and it isn't Downtown Mogadishu. It's a typical Summer Street Festival in a part of old Seattle that was already an artist enclave.

Why would anyone in CHAZ care or have a say of what goes on in America? I thought they were on their own.

Tucker Carlson had a clip of the Police Chief meeting with the “Warload” of CHAZ and laughing and joking around.

They are trying to play us and the administration.

There is no rebellion in Seattle—it is a con game.

_That_ is why the governor is just ignoring it.

It was intended as a provocation to get either the White House or some right wing vigilante or vigilantes of some sort to over-react.

Last night it transitioned into a creepy white folks festival with guards or much Antifa around...

It is now just an extension of weird Seattle...just freaks being freaks.

This woman lives in a fantasy world. The left has no adults in leadership.

Calls to resign?!?

What about calls for the mayor and police chief to be tried, convicted and sentenced to be publicly hanged for giving aid and comfort to domestic terrorist enemies?

This is a spot on statement. It is a trap to make Trump look like a dictator. Leave it for Washington State. Let them deal with the ideological mess they've made.
