It seems the Mayor of Seattle finally decided to grow a pair and sent the police to clear the #CHAZ area. I am watching live as I type this
They cleared a lot of space, including the abandoned precinct that was the deer’s head on the wall for the “peaceful protesters.”
The kick? It took 30 minutes to clear the area.
Why the hell did the Seattle government allowed lawlessness for such a long time? My take? They bet on CHAZ/CHOP being the Socialist Utopia it promised to be, but after all the crime and deaths, it just turned into the standard Socialists reality and and embarrassment.
This is probably not over, some pushback may be coming. It should be entertaining.
There are still lawsuits happening from locals against the city gov’t, I believe. That might have something to do with this.
“Why the hell did the Seattle government allowed lawlessness for such a long time?”
Perhaps cuz Seattle is a DemonKKKrat shithole?
“It should be entertaining.”
Gotta switch to pretzels. Getting tired of too much popcorn. LOL!
Yep. And all that butter is bad for my figure…
I think the timing is more because the media’s gone elsewhere with their cameras. There’s other shiny things people are paying attention to now.
Watching the live feed from the link Miguel posted. As usual, these “utopian citizens” left quite the mess behind, similar to the mess in Portlandia a few years ago.
Any bets that libtard governor is going to ask for federal help to clean up the mess her commie CHAZ/CHOP children left her?
RE: federal help
Probably. And one proper response would be, “Because the City had the power and legal authority to declare the protest area known as CHOP or CHAZ an unlawful insurrection, and had the legal duty to suppress and stop such unlawful actions, but chose not to, the liability for the cost of re-asserting lawful authority, providing emergency services, and repairing the damage left by the protesters falls on the City’s leadership. Request denied.”
Or more colloquially, “No. F@#$ off.”
Thanks for the link. It’s so funny watching the whinny little bitches “confronting the police”. Got a couple police snipers up on a roof, armored Bearcat, cops with yard long batons. “Final order” being given, lets see if they have to wait for the mayor to approve.
“Follow the money”. This has hurt some of the Important People in the Party, who have probably had a Come-To-Jesus meeting with the mayor & council. The fact was clearly explained that not only were they about to become ex-politicians, they were about to become poor ex-politicians.
It’s not like the Chazzy CHOP Chavs were going to give them any re-election money, or enough to actually be useful.
Wonder if “warlord Raz” got arrested or will be arrested for his poor-man imitation of E. Holder’s fast-and-furious out the back of his car.
If he’s not, then the City and State have no business arresting or charging Joe Public in Spokane for selling an over-under to his neighbor of 20 years.
But I strongly suspect the City’s and State’s Attorneys won’t see it that way.
The real leaders and organizers of the insurgency are long gone.
All that is left in Seattle are their foolish followers. Some cognitively aware followers noticed the exodus and left soon after, but anyone with half a brain definitely exited after their “security” shot the two Black kids None of the remainder are smart enough or motivated enough to organize a resistance.
The odd crazy Kamikaze like resister is all that is a potential threat, and the huge police presence should deter most of that. .
Grew a pair, or finally realized it couldn’t be milked for more political gain?
More likely she didn’t mind at all when they mess up other people’s lives, but when they started to annoy her personally in her home she decided that was an entirely different matter and had to be stopped.
Wow. Hypocrisy & stupidity all in the same dense package. How efficient of her. RME
