Seattle cedes fire station to protesters to turn into community center

The city of Seattle announced that it would turn a fire station into a community center for black residents after weeks of protests.

The city announced on Thursday that it would be turning over ownership of the fire station to the community in line with a list of demands given to the city from Africatown and other black activist groups.

"We at the City of Seattle understand the urgency behind making bold investments in the Black community and increasing community ownership of land in the Central District," the city wrote.

Community Center = gang hangout. Law abiding black citizens won’t be allowed.

That’s going to work out really well when the next fire breaks out and gets out of control because there’s no nearby fire station to respond.

Or when someone needs 911 for a heart attack or car accident, or shooting and there are no response teams nearby.

What will the Left do when conservatives in rural areas simply thumb their noses at the state and declare themselves autonomous zones too?

LOL - good one.

That might have a nice impact on fire insurance premiums in the area.

Question for some of the more sophisticated participants here:

Why do Black protesters always seem to need white leaders to tell them what to do? Ever since the NAACP - Mary WHITE Ovington, William ENGLISH Walling, Henry MOSKOWitz, Lillian Wald, Oswald Villard....

A bingo hall where you will have to hand over all your winnings to the war lord, or you won’t get to go home.

I think this is a very good idea. Sure, the city now has one less fire station. But appeasement works. It will bring peace for our time.

...give away their spot in colleges...

Not theirs to give away. The latest push by the SJWs is to out people early as *racists* and *white supremacists* so they will not be able to get into college and “cannot go on to become racist professionals.”

Are Politicians Allowed to GIVE AWAY TAxpayer Property to Political Activist Groups??

This is where I keep going. And if a group of anarchists are breaking established city laws, is governor and mayor allowed to condone it? Isn't it their job to uphold the existing laws not bow to new fake laws that were never passed?

[usconservative]

So to the rest of Seattle, who paid for that station, - F you! You do not matter

I think you may have that a little bit incorrect.

When a building starts burning that would've been served by that station, it's going to be allowed to burn itself out.

Stupid actions have consequences.

Let it burn.

I don't know if this was an active station or a mothballed one. It seems absurd to replace an active fire station with a "community center" that will just be a rallying point for radical troublemakers.

If they now have delayed responses to fires in the area, it will be blamed on "institutional racism."

Yes, be sure to wave the appeasement papers proudly in front of the cameras. This should work lol!😊!

She tries to lock them down again and you can count on it.

Seattle cedes fire station to protesters to turn into community center,

—

You can bet Seattle is one of those cities which will have a boot up you ass if you built a garden shed without the proper permits.

But give away a firewomen station to a bunch of looters for a “community center”. No problem.

[joshua c]

Actually the CHAZ people colonized that area. They are Imperialists.

[smvoice]

=Beer Hall Putsch. Hitler would be so proud /S, if anyone thinks I’m serious

[teacherwoes]

I am just waiting for the rioters to demand the name of Seattle is changed. After all, Chief Seattle was a slave owner.

[Steve_Seattle]

"increasing community ownership of land in the area"

The fire station already IS "community owned," and the community is the City of Seattle. What rubbish is this? The "community" must refer to some activist group or collection of groups. If this isn't illegal, it should be.

I know how this is going to end:

"But give away a firewomen station to a bunch of looters for a “community center”. No problem."

I believe it's "womyn." /s

The left will do what they always do, and that's to ignore the glaring double standard.
