Lefty Seattle mayor moves to shut down CHOP, blames everyone but herself

[American Thinker] So much for the "block party atmosphere." So much for the "summer of love."

Summer hadn't even started on the calendar when Seattle's Mayor Jenny Durkan was forced to shut down the whole dumpster fire of lawlessness in the heart of her city down.

She praised it and praised it — and somehow never guessed that a police-free zone might just be an attractive place for criminals.

After turning six blocks of prime downtown land to armed warlords who chased out an entire police station and then set up their own "autonomous zone," they did the predictable, turning the area into a hellhole, and the bodies piled up.

Durkan now is attempting to wipe the egg off her face after bona fide killings in the abdicated area, known as "CHOP," got to be too much.

She made a windy speech recorded by Q13Fox News, calling it an "update" rather than a boob's desperate U-turn.

#5 She may say she will shut it down but we have yet to see what will happen when push comes to shove. Will she have the guts to do what needs to be done or will she let the problem continue to fester?

#6 She probably told the cops "Go and shut it down - but don't hurt anyone.". And the cops said "No can do, mizz!"

#8 And when these cities want taxpayers in the heartland to bail them out while they elect marxists and their cultural and opinion leaders not only belittle but outright attack said same people? Yeah, that's gonna play well...
