So tax payers will give themselves a mere pittance while the real culprits have no accountability.

After lawyers are paid, taxes are paid, this will leave practically ZERO after dividing among recipients!!

Re: Peanuts

Many more lawsuits to come.

But, I agree, the first set of plaintiffs settled for too little.

The Capitol Hill neighborhood votes 90% Democrat and is majority white.

I will speculate that most Capitol Hill residents do not want public trials that attack Democrat politicians or Democrat issues like George Floyd, BLM, and white racism.

You’re probably right about more lawsuits.

That said, I have no sympathy for those DemonRat voters.

I think it would speak volumes if the people bought a full
page add and say, —— you Seattle. Take your money and
shove it.

This is pathetic.

How many millions did the protesters cost the city, and
they didn’t bat an eye lash.

Waste of their own tax dollars. Watch taxes get raised and the weirdos are free to do it all over again.

It’s pretty amazing that the liberal Seattle morons aren’t paying the warlord $3.4M for inconveniencing him.

Any and all settlements like this should be paid out of the police and city employees pension funds.

So the city steals money from its residents and then commits additional crimes forcing it to pay that money back out.

Government is just organized crime.

Who could ever have imagined that “anti-capitalism” activism could cost so much capital?

Given that Marx, Lenin, Hitler and so many more were anti-captalists, one wonders how the capitalists of media and American politics can be so blind to "anti-capitalism."

Not near enough! Every business that was affected by the city’s inaction should get a million each, at least!

Seattlites will still vote for the same officials who let this happen.

Because hating Trump is the Democrats #1 priority.
