Seattle cedes fire station to protesters to turn into community center
Washington Examiner ^ | June 12, 2020 | Madison Dibble

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.

"You get the government you vote for."

Stupid politicians think their demands will end now that they've appeased them with this fire station. It's only the beginning, because they'll never be satisfied. They will continue to demand this and that, and before you know it, the whole city of Seattle will be in their back pocket. Appeasement only emboldens these thugs. Have fun Seattle!

It seems absurd...

The whole thing is absurd, the spineless elected politicians allow this to happen. Let's hope there aren't many more absurd events like this in our country.

You may recall when some banks in the Midwest urgently made some bold investments for the care and feeding of John Dillinger...

Part of Capitol Hill including a police precinct - now a fire station, soon the guilty while liberals ruing the place will give the entire city over to antifa thugs and BLM criminals. From there its on to SeaTac Airport, Tacoma, and finally Olympia before joining forces with their fellow antifa thugs that run Portland OR

When they're Democrats, concepts like "laws" and "rules" never apply. KEEP UP!

I count maybe two blacks in the top photo. I guess the rest will have to stay outside.

Seattle has plenty of community centers. Aren’t blacks welcome at each and every?? A community center for blacks alone violates the Constitution and the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

I did some searching, and I think there are two Fire Station 6’s in Seattle, an active one and a mothballed one. The one in your picture is the old one - I live in the Seattle area and recognize the style of a lot of the older stations. There’s another Fire Station 6 with a much more modern design.

Police and fireman in cities like Seattle must have a real sense of pride..esprit de corps if you will...of serving. Gotta be right up there with the Marines, SEALS, French Foreign Legion, SAS etc.

NOT!
