[NYPOST] Seattle saw a staggering 525 percent spike in crime as a result of the violence that swept through the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest zone, according to Mayor Jenny Summer of Love Durkan

Durkan’s emergency order booting protesters from the six-block cop-free zone makes mention of the "narcotics use and violent crime, including rape, robbery, assault, and increased gang activity" within the CHOP since it first emerged in early June.

June 2 to June 30 saw the 525 percent jump in crime compared to the same period last year.

It includes "22 additional incidents, in person-related crime in the area, to include two additional homicides, 6 additional robberies, and 16 additional aggravated assaults (to include 2 additional non-fatal shootings)," Durkan’s order on Tuesday says.

The CHOP crime spree includes the deaths of two black teens, ages 19 and 16, who were fatally shot in separate incidents.

Durkan authorized police to take back the streets, saying conditions in the CHOP "have deteriorated to the point where public health, life, and safety are threatened by activities in and around this area."

#2 “An alarming recent rise in COVID-19 numbers across the region, coupled with a lack of social distancing in this area, and the daily attraction to this area of outside individuals place the neighborhood at opening businesses at increased risk for outbreaks,” Durkan’s order states.

#3 "have deteriorated to the point where public health, life, and safety are threatened by activities in and around this area."

Now only if people had a record of human behavior that could have forewarned them of this outcome, they might have avoided this. Nah, unicorns and rainbows for everyone. (so do I need to put a /sarc on that?)

#6 M'Lady and I needed to go from SEA-TAC airport toward Bellingham a couple of weeks ago. So, looking at Chop and a map of Seattle, we planned to leave SEA TAC airport and drive I405 around Seattle and avoid all the insanity. Worked out well, as some nutbags tried to stop traffic at an I5 section going through Seattle.
