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.

“Not if the mobs control who votes and who counts the votes.”
This is Seattle. There are few if any Trump voters in Seattle.
The BLM/Antifa could now take over the whole city, and Trump will not lose a single electoral vote, or anymore than he lost in the last election.
PERFECT EXAMPLE
She gave them everything they wanted and ...more, but they still HATE her.
Just as they will never, NEVER stop hating us. Because they have such strong self-loathing.
LOL!!
With no food maybe they’ll have a BBQ instead
I get that. But she was elected for a fixed term and if she gives in to the Antifa mob over defunding the police, who do you think is going to take over?
Why would hastening the downfall of a liberal enclave and the creation of a glowing example of what not to do be bad?
The mayor is an idiot and should resign either way. This will greatly advance the collapse and the people there will get what they voted for.
Next the RIOTERS will take over AMAZON,headquartered in Seattle, and demand Bezos resign.
> “Isn’t the mayor of Seattle a Commie?”
Durkan is a lesbian hardcore leftist. She ‘supports’ the ‘protesters’, the ones that lit Seattle PD patrol cars ablaze downtown and busted up various businesses.
Durkan’s first engagement was to travel to the Southern Border to protest the Wall. People in Seattle, at least what’s left of the practically minded ones, expressed a collective “Huh?”. Why the hell was she out of city at the friggin border? This gives a view of where her scrambled mind is at. She’s more interested in serving as a mouthpiece for leftist causes than managing a city as mayor.
Looking at the news of Seattle’s misguided low-IQ liberals storming City Hall is actually a sign of disorganization, uncoordinated messaging, weakness in execution.
These are amateurs loosely directed by hardened leftists who are not too smart.
Many in this City have complained about the misplaced imbalance of leftism seeping into the upper ranks of city offices. For a variety of reasons, the City has become corrupt in every quarter from state and federal courthouses, to its county offices to its city offices, every part of it and the question is how does such an amateurish group influence so much?
The Project Veritas undercover investigation of Antifa gives clues. In their video, the dark underbelly of Antifa is revealed. It is led by people that are cultish but dangerous, mafia-like but low IQ. About the most they know how to do is to remain unseen and out of view.
But in Seattle, Antifa organizers have come into view at least momentarily. It’s safe to say they are directing things behind the scenes but their followers are not smart, possess degraded communication and execution skills, but they are able to advance because the City council, the Mayor’s office and Municipal Courts step aside and out of the way.
How the City Council, Mayor’s Office, Courts have all been occupied by leftist commanders is still a mystery but the mafia-like nature of the middle level handlers provides a plausible answer that some real nasty outsiders have installed people in key posts.
So if the above is near the truth, elections don’t matter here because the process is rigged. It’s been that way for awhile but seems to have grown and hardened.
Seattle’s business community will need to figure out how to confront and fight the mafiosos that have taken over. That’s not easy and takes a counter organization in itself to get it done. Perhaps a learning point is that when inner city businesses let a leftist cult inhabit city, county and court offices, the infestation reaches a point where outside exterminators need to be called in. The White House, DOJ, DHS, FEMA are not going to provide extermination services unless there are first massive federal trials that lead to incarcerating the ringleaders and cutting off the funding to downstream mid-level groups.
I have some idea of where the troublemakers come from. SEIU, MS-13 are likely providing enforcement muscle. Other World Socialist linked persons are communicating with well-funded unknowns who are promulgating leftist ideological tasks and goals.
For Seattle’s practical minded business community, what’s left of them, they need information, intel, and a reliable information channel for them to stand and fight leftist anarchy. Many of these pragmatists are too accommodating of the left and they will need to change. They will not go openly conservative but they can be pulled to the middle. Trusting them with sources and methods is a no-go.
On top of this bleak outlook for the City is the fact that Bezos leads the City’s largest employee base and the police pension funds are corrupt to their core. Leftists are good at stealing, cheating, diverting, hence it’s not surprising the police union is a leftist organ.
Still I wouldn’t give up. It takes time to make friends, feed them a little at a time the values of conservatism and get them to think that leftist anarchy can be defeated by taking back powers that result in fair and free elections.
The problem in fighting the Devil is to avoid becoming the Devil in the process of fighting it. It’s hard for many reasons to keep the moral high ground while fighting demons that call you the Devil.
The Left controls the courts, the government offices, the police, the media, the money.
Try outlining a battle plan to take down the Left. Easier said than done.
“Look at Strelnikov in Doctor Zhivago, and his fate”.
No one there possesses Strelnikov’s brain. Nothing to blow out.
Someone who will undeniably be in insurrection against the United States and thereby be a target for full military force in a way that Democrats in the rest of the country can’t deny?
oh-oh...sounds like antee-fah are homophobic! And this being pride month and all...
Why protect Seattle? They got themselves into this shit. Let them get themselves out.
NOT yet - Bezos still backs the thugs. But if a Marxist future came to pass, commie's always kill their useful idiots first. Then it'll be bye bye Bezos.
Noooooo!!!
Let our enemies fight our enemies. Let our enemies burn down their own homes, cities, businesses.
Why on earth do you wanna stop them??
Probably nothing any better.
They have erected a “wall” of sorts around their autonomous zone...one has to ask permission to enter..
Abe Lincoln would have Soros & Sons, the Washington AG, the Seattle DA, Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, Mayor Jennie Durkan, Chief of Police Carmen Best (if she can be found) arrested and federal troops shooting the Antifa bastards by dawn tomorrow.
President Trump will probably wait until the Governor asks for help, and in the unlikely event that Inslee does, deputize a couple of hundred National Guard as U.S. Marshals and send them in to restore order.... Then turn it back over to the wimpy leftist politicians that let it happen in the first place. :-(
It ain’t just THEIR businesses...It’s ain’t just THEIR cities...It ain’t just THEIR country, you know.....
I wasn’t referring to just Seattle in my comment...This bullsh*t has got to stop all over the country...
A shuttered police precinct.
That’s a disgrace.
