Seattle protesters storm City Hall, demand mayor resign after driving police out of area, declaring autonomous zone

Hundreds of protesters, aided by a sympathetic City Council member, stormed Seattle's City Hall Tuesday night to demand the mayor's resignation, just days after seizing a six-block downtown zone that includes a shuttered police precinct.

SEATTLE PROTESTERS DECLARE 'COP FREE ZONE' AFTER POLICE LEAVE PRECINCT

Demonstrators remained peaceful, without reports of violence or injuries, but are pushing Mayor Jenny Durkan to step down if she refuses to defund the city's police department.

The protesters continued to camp out in a self-declared “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” (CHAZ)-- a region spanning six blocks and encompassing the precinct-- which has effectively been abandoned by law enforcement after the Seattle Police Department closed the East Precinct on Monday.

I used to live in Seattle, now in Tacoma.

Anyone that has decided to stay in Seattle since that place went nuts in 1998 or so, can only blame themselves for staying in a place that has adobpted the lifestyles of Soddom & Gomorrah. As it still stands, a person can leave there and sell their house for an astronomically overpriced amount. That latter part may not last if the city starts to resemble Detroit.

But it’s happening in Biden states. They are just eating their own. Do you think all this insanity is going to make red states vote blue? Or win purple states to the commie side?

“We’re not winning Washington state regardless but will pick up votes in the sane states.”

We’re not winning Seattle proper but along with eastern WA that always goes law and order much of western WA might figure it out as well.

The autonomous district is pleading for a food delivery—allegedly the homeless population has taken all the food from the “Occupy Seattle” group.

Not likely.

Or win purple states to the commie side?

Good possibility of some flipping.

They need to expand the district to Pike Place Market. Food there. Only a mile. And a Target on the way. And the original starbucks. When it runs out they can eat the fish in the aquarium. After that, they’ll have to learn to fish.

These far-left appeasers will never learn. No matter how much you try to appeal to or placate the mob, it will never be enough.

Once you kneel to the mob, it will become the expectation. If you don't kneel enough; you are ousted.

When will we stop using the term, “Democratic” when it should be “Democrat?”
Go to the back of the class.

This is rediculous. Will Washington State do anything to protect itself?
