Police in Seattle declared a riot in that city after peaceful protesters on Saturday were “provoked” by cops into setting fires and throwing explosives, rocks, and bottles that injured 21 officers and sent one policeman to the hospital who was hit in the knee by an explosive device.
A construction site on Capitol Hill was torched and another police precinct was broken into with “explosive damage” done to the walls. Another Starbucks was lit up, and numerous storefronts were vandalized. At least 45 people were arrested. In other words, just another typical, peaceful, tranquil day for the residents of Seattle.
Are there any businesses left in downtown Seattle? If there are, they may want to head for the hills.

The Seattle police chief informs business owners that they are on their own against rioters. The city council has tied her hands. The police do not have the tools to combat mob violence.

I don’t know if Seattle and Portland recover from this anytime soon.
They voted for it. Let them suffer from it.
NO SYMPATHY!
I’m sure that leftist, traitorous piece of trash would send cops to arrest anyone trying to defend themselves. Until that’s no longer the case, I have no effs to give.
SPD better decide whose side they’re on. They’re about to have no allies and enemies on every side, and they will have done that to themselves.
So, give them the necessary tools or step down in favor of someone who will.
They should sue the crap out of EVERYONE responsible
While leaving the area
And changing their politics, if need be
WAKE UP
Amendment XIV was written after post-Civil War riots in New Orleans and Memphis to ensure state law governments protected people and property.
“What do we pay our taxes for, again?”
“They voted for it. Let them suffer from it.“
...the penalty due for their error.
Democracy is the idea that people know what they want and deserve to get it, good and hard.
Yuhp, the people have nobody to blame for it but themselves.
“Ensuring them” they’ve done due diligence? I have no words SMH
Well, there we have it. Seattle is now at the mercy of the social workers that will insure peace and prosperity by calmning the rioters and pillagers.
Who in their right mind would invest or want to live in Seattle or Portland? This is the result when a majority of the population in these citie are depraved, ignorant neo pagans.
They’re not paying Taxes they’re getting Robbed
The police carry out the orders of the mayor. The mayor has decided that the rioters are allowed to destroy businesses, attack people, including cops, burn things, assault and rape, and steal.
The mayor’s action is done with full awareness of the consequences.
The mayor is therefore responsible for any and all actions of the rioters.
This is all intentional. They forbid cops to use pepper spray and anything that might work. This is with full knowledge that the riots will be out of control and destroy everything in their path.
The destruction is foreseen and therefore intended. The marxists dream of the entire country becoming smouldering embers. Then they will be able to swoop in and replace the current constitutional form of government that we have, and for the rest look to Russia March 8, 1917.
It’s the making of a turd world environment. Just watch the employers and service providers leave for Texas!
Who’s going to sell them asswipe?
The obamanites haven’t given ANY thought to employment and economic generators. More AOC logic.
o if you’re going to Seattle, make sure you fireproof your building or purchase extra insurance. Wouldn’t want any “peaceful protesters” costing you your business.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Insurance, in places like Seattle (or any other Leftist-run city/area subject to defunded/no police, riots, lawlessness, arson), will likely soon be unaffordable, if you can even get it.
If I am responsible for my safety, just come with a cart and the paperwork to haul off the dead perps.
But its Seattle...won’t happen there...
Liberal cities being destroyed by the children of their progressize citizens. What’s the problem?
