Sadly the idiots that caused this will not literal pay out of their own pockets it will come form the state and city coffers, the tax payers. The rat commie politicians will walk away
Judge allowed a lawsuit brought by 21 businesses against the city of Seattle.
The rioters need to be sued too.
This should set precedent....like strip-searching and cavity-searching teen girls for protesting abortion in maryland a few years ago....obvious precedent.
Yeah, there’s pics all over social media showing BLM/ANQUEEFA types openly carrying those nasty “ assault rifles”, and not one word from the Karens from Moms Demand Action or the little shyts from March for Our Lives. Hell, they support them.
Always wondered what happened to the safes in the retail stores, the ATMs and the bank vaults while “Chaz” was occupied .
“racial justice protestors”, this is missing the words “Alleged” or “Claimed”.
Without qualifiers some readers might be misled to believe the terrorist punks were actually attempting to achieve what they claimed rather than the orgy of targeted and random violence that actually occurred.
As to illegal firearm transfers, it seems those laws only apply to licensed dealers and conservatives.
Good news
Discovery ought to be very interesting.
Paging folks in NYS....
Paid for by taxpayers of course; and when they win, Seattle will raise taxes to pay for it.
In the past, many states, truly protected Americans’ freedom and property. They had laws that made cities responsible for damage caused by mobs and riots.
The logic is that through specific government policy, government decisions, and political policing (sound familiar?) the government was ultimately responsible for public disorder, and damage suffered by private owners was a form of government illegally taking private property. It was called negative condemnation under eminent domain laws
These laws were gradually removed and were gone by the 1960s, as leftists and social engineers took over city governments.
I can’t wait for the first state to bring these back.
Sue the chit out of the city of Seattle!
They are just suing themselves when they sue the city, because every dollar the city has comes from them..
They should be able to sue the mayor and city council personally, and they should be personally liable.
Biden: You don't deserve to know the answer to that./s
We've said for years-------- When all the guns are outlawed only the outlaws will have guns. Gun grabbers will make that happen unless they are stopped.
The suburban women who say they are voting against Trump will have one last line of home defense after gun ownership is taken away and the defunded police aren't there: A sign clearly stating This is a Gun Free Zone.
There’s no need to “allow.” They have the right to sue because the mayor allowed, supported and took part in the riots and did nothing to stop them.
“failed to protect the businesses from a danger of the city’s own making.”
that’s the one grounds they’re almost guaranteed to win ... government has no duty to protect, but it itself cannot actively collaborate and contribute resources to the criminals ...
These same business owners should also be starting recall petitions for the Mayor of Portland and the Oregon Attorney General that ensures the miscreants in CHOP go unpunished.
If they think that their little law suit is going to change the behavior of these Communist Revolutionaries in Oregon government they are sadly mistaken.
