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.

People should be infuriated if only because basic/essential city services that law-abiding people pay taxes for—such as police and fire department resources—are being ceded without a struggle or repurcussions to the outlaws.

Key to a liberal “village”...dark, grafitt-laden, BO-pungent and angry.

The Washington State taxpayer-funded utilities should be immediately cut off. Oh...and passports should be required for them to re-enter the USA.

These are not good optics. What will the Left do when conservatives in rural areas simply thumb their noses at the state and declare themselves autonomous zones too?

Excellent point. I say let's get started.

Except OUR "zones" would be exceedingly successful, and therefore need to be crushed.

Is this a working fire station? Doesn’t seem like a good idea...

Look at that filth. Spawned by fat, addicted ex hippies, no doubt. Forced to raise themselves, listening to mom and dad’s tales of rampant sex, free love and venereal disease.

Trump better be on his game in Tulsa next week. He needs and the nation needs the kind of moment that DeGaulle made on May 28 1968. I listened to that speech using my HS French. It made a lasting impression about how leaders handle difficult tribulations.

Do the dimwits that ceded the fire station actually think that's it?

It's just the beginning.

I haven't heard any talk of removing the statue of Stalin. I Wonder why

Good!I am waiting to see What City they take over next. President Trump, don’t get suckered into doing anything. Anything you do or don’t do you know will be wrong. They got their selves in to it. Let them get their selves out.These people wanted it to happen or it would not have happened. They made their beds . Let them sleep in them.

They’re going to find out real soon, they “didn’t build that”, or anything useful.

Massachusetts still has some vestigial Catholicism or other Christianity at least in the older generations. Washington turned atheist a few decades earlier. The whole country will be mandatorily atheistic Communist before this time next year unless we vote for Trump and a bunch of Republicans to forestall the insurgency and preserve a partial vestige of our ancient liberty for a few years in the remoter parts of the country.

if the city is really transferring title of that beautiful fire station to “community” agitators, it’ll be a total dump in less than a year ...

Do taxpayers get a refund for the taxes paid for a Fire Station?
