A leader of Seattle’s so-called Capitol Hill Organized Protest area says peaceful protest is not one of her priorities.
Documentary filmmaker Ami Horowitz shared with Fox News a short clip of his interactions with protesters, including CHOP leader Jaiden Grayson.
“Every single day that I show up here, I’m not here to peacefully protest,” Grayson said. “I’m here to disrupt until my demands are met.
“You cannot rebuild until you break it all the way down.”
CHOP initially took over six city blocks. Although the city of Seattle had an agreement to reduce that footprint and open some blocked roads to traffic, the agreement fell apart Tuesday. Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan, a Democrat, has largely supported the protest as an exercise in First Amendment rights.
There have been numerous violent incidents in CHOP since police vacated a precinct in the area now controlled by protesters, and Grayson, using the words of slain civil rights leader Malcolm X, said she will support whatever tactics achieve her goal.
“Respond to the demands of the people or prepare to be met with any means necessary,” she said. “By any means necessary. …
“It’s not a slogan. It’s not even a warning. I’m letting people know what comes next.”
Grayson said that she lives by her own definition of violence.
“A response to violence is not violence itself,” she said.
Grayson made it clear she is not seeking modest reforms but to wipe the slate clean.
“If the Seattle Police Department turns in their badges, we’ll have made a move forward,” she said, adding she wants to “abolish the police state.”
She also called for the abolition of the criminal justice system but said it is too soon to know what will spring up in its place.
“The unraveling that happens to that system is also exactly what will fuel the black minds and the black bodies that will recreate a new world,” Grayson said.
“I don’t understand why more journalists are not asking those questions. We run to black people the minute that they’re killed, and we have been seeing them be killed for so long that the PTSD from that is unbelievable. You have people still b—-ing about 9/11. Unbelievable. One act of terror,” she said.
When asked if she considered herself an American, Grayson said she was “an African brought to America.”
Grayson’s comments did not play well on Twitter.
I remember during the 1990’s standing in front of Starbucks in Pike’s Market while a group played Commie work songs.
Woman behind Seattle’s CHAZ Kshama Sawant, who is refusing to let cops into the six-block zone lives in an $800,000 home
June 14, 2020 by IWB
Kshama Sawant, 46, has been described as a leader in the creation of Seattle’s Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone
The city councilwoman has urged fellow activists not to allow cops back into the six-block zone set up in the center of the city
Indian-born Sawant worked as a software engineer before migrating to the US, where she was ‘radicalized by the inequality and poverty’ that she saw
Sawant became the first socialist to be elected to Seattle’s City Council in 2013; she recently endorsed Bernie Sanders for President
However, she has come under fire for railing against gentrification while being married to a Microsoft engineer; she is also reported to live in a $800K home
One Seattle Times columnist has compared her to the Queen in Alice In Wonderland, because of her ‘off with their heads’ political style
A software engineer turned firebrand socialist has been named as the leader of a movement which has pushed police out of six-block area of central Seattle, known as the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ).
Indian-born Kshama Sawant, 46, who now serves on the Seattle City Council, is encouraging activists in the CHAZ ‘to hold out on giving back the precinct to cops or allowing officers inside the barricaded region’, according to Fox News.
The CHAZ was established on June 8, after protesters took over Capitol Hill’s East Precinct building, sending members of the Seattle Police Department fleeing.
Sawant tweeted Friday: ‘Our movement needs to urgently ensure East Precinct is not handed back to police, but is turned over permanently into community control. My office is bringing legislation to convert East Precinct into a community center for restorative justice.’
She further stated: ‘The movement has been undaunted in the face of horrific violence from Mayor Durkan’s police. Congratulations, solidarity!’

Ask her if “the Jews did it”
Somebody needs some help.

I hope it turns out like Jonestown.
They planned riots to surround the WHite House so they could cry, "Halp! HALP! The White House is in danger!" but Trump prevented that from happening by displaying troops (remember the snipers (conspicuously) walking to the white house grounds?
Now the U.N. is meeting on an urgent basis to discuss racial injustice and police brutality in the U.S. and "other regions". Note that London, England is under similar riot attacks.
SO the stage is set, all that is needed is Trump to react in a manner the Deep State and the MSM (but I repeat myself) can spin into a collapse of law and order (portray Trump as operating a police state) to beg the U.N. to intervene.
I believe Nancy Pelosi and others started the strategy long ago, and then made it official in fall of last year via confidential meetings between her "delegation" and the U.N..
Don’t forget the Brown Berets. My brother joined back in the early 70’s them until our mother convinced him to leave the group. She was not aware of the group but my brother showed her the beret. She held the beret and felt a presence of not good (evil). She told him to leave the group and he did.
Shut off any internet access and cell service this week.
Next week shut off electricity and natural gas.
Then shut off food shipments.
Ah heck, shut them all off right now!
So the residents that own and rent in that neighborhood, you say to hell with them then?
The article is about these terrorists terrorizing the community that lives there. They are breaking down doors, beating people up, demanding money from them and raping the women.
Or didn’t you read that portion of the article?
Turning off the internet, stopping food shipments, turning off the water and gas is not going to stop the residents from being terrorized by this group of miscreants. At this point, the residents should be treated like hostages in a situation that right now has no ending.
It’s okay to say you will do this or that without thinking of the residents that live there but when this group of miscreants starts killing the hostages it is too late to do anything other than wiping them out and that is what they are there for. As bait to lure Trump into using the military since the mayor refuses to do anything.

And then again.. we might possibly get an ending like those poor bastards in "Waco" experienced at the hands of Janet Reno and the Clintons.
In the end.. I doubt, whatever happens, that it will be pretty.
Not an Oprah fan but I have learned a valuable thing from her: when someone shows you who they are, believe them.
There will be no food delivery.
There will be no fuel delivery.
There will be no electricity.
There will be no ATM's that work.
There will be no way to reload or use benefit cards.
These urban types have no idea where their food or energy comes from. When it breaks all the way down the cities will become huge outdoor morgues.
Meanwhile in Portland, Oregon, violent rioting by Antifa blacks has continued unbated for 23 consecutive days.
If black is the key ingredient for the new utopia, we can look to Africa to see what forms it may take. There's been enough warfare and destruction in Africa to fuel the recreation of many new worlds. And, they pretty much suck.
