Seattle's mayor said that "autonomous zone" protesters are patriots, and not, as President Donald Trump called them, "domestic terrorists."
Since Monday, protesters have occupied a section of the city's Capitol Hill neighborhood after clashing with police during a Black Lives Matter demonstration.
"Demanding we do better as a society and provide true equity for communities of color is not terrorism it is patriotism," Mayor Jenny Durkan tweeted.
Trump on Thursday tweeted that the protesters were "ugly Anarchists" who "must be stopped IMMEDIATELY."
Seattle's mayor scolded President Donald Donald Trump for calling protesters occupying the city's autonomous zone "domestic terrorists," and instead labeled them patriots.

Oh they’re probably loving this, especially since it bugs Trump. This is edgy performance art to them, with an ideological slant they agree with.
American patriotism has only one essential requirement.
...........
The love and demand of freedom.
...........
Mayor Durkan are you free to safely walk down the sidewalks of Chaz?
...........
You allowed this loss of our Constitutional freedom. You swore an oath to uphold the Constitution.
...........
You abdicated and quit your responsibility, just resign and go away.
It has been especially wet this spring...(and that’s saying something!)
I posted this yesterday
Lol the Antifa people in the autonomous zone are taking up farming. They poured some top soil onto the grass, seem to have simply placed some of the plants onto the soil rather than digging holes, and are expecting to keep the plot sufficiently watered with a watering can.
Now Anarchists in the Seattle Autonomous Zone Have a Garden and Its as Funny as Youd Expect(Chaz farm is planting crops) RedState ^ | June 11, 2020 | Nick Arama
Dear Left:
Your social experiment has failed in stupendous fashion over the last 50 years. You have cost this country much in wealth, human capital, wasted lives, lost hope. It’s time for you to step aside, or it’s time that we pushed you aside if you won’t leave the stage.
Let us return to the traditional family. Let us reinforce in our homes the proper standards for living wisely and prosperously: A mother and father, living together and providing a safe and stable environment for their children. Let us have media which supports these ends, and let us not have media which seeks to destroy our society.
The Left is angry and bitter. This is because they have abandoned the God of the Bible. But they put the blame elsewhere, because they can’t admit that their problems result primarily from the one choice which they will not reconsider. That one choice is belief in, and submission to, God. So they blame racists, or they blame conservatives, or they blame Christians, or they blame the President. And all manner of injustice comes from the anger and bitterness wrongly placed. Many innocent people are hurt, livelihoods are destroyed. The future of many is made poor by the bad actions of emotional people who look like adults but act like spoiled children.
And the celebrities who have the opportunity to spread wisdom instead use their platform to spread idiocy and venom. We would be better off without them.
The insanity has to stop.
the reason that video you just posted shows what it shows is because President Trump made his comment. However, if you think there aren’t still crazies there, this was just today, as the police chief went in to inspect the precinct - and yes, they did use pepper spray to clear the way for the chief, who ended up going in the back way:

It would be misleading to not admit that the first videos coming out of the Empire of Chaz showed black-bloc anarchists that all seemed to be a foul mood. Including ordering journalists to ‘walk’ ‘leave’ ‘go’ and beating up a guy who was doing grafitti.

After Trump labeled them ‘terrorists’, poof, all of a sudden black-bloc went t-shirted and tennis-shoed, the guns went away and some people went away, and everyone started coloring on the sidewalks, blowing bubbles and sitting around having daily meetings like it’s Burning Man lite. But don’t let the flower-child videos released today fool you.
the mayor owes Trump a ‘thank you’ but if she thinks everyone is there for a ‘the summer of love’ she’s delusional.
“’It is patriotism’: Seattle’s mayor rebukes Trump for saying ‘autonomous zone’ protesters are terrorists”
This is EXACTLY the headline that Trump was trying to draw out (and the media was trying to avoid, by initially spike the story). Show the Democrat leaders supporting anarchy, while he calls for rule of law. And let the voters decide which path they prefer.
Trump ought to stay out of this. It is a local issue. Seattle should get what it deserves. And it might be awake up call to others.
He's not going to do anything.
It's just talk.
Look how much grief he got for clearing a security zone in front of the WH,
Dear President Trump:
Let Seattle and the mayor stew in their own juice.
This is Occupy Wall Street V 2.0

He provoked the governor into publicly praising the new Republic of Chaz.
Thank you both, I keep seeing it term and didn’t know. Thanks for clearing it up!
