| Seattle will move to dismantle protest zone, mayor says |
| 2020-06-23 |
| [AP] Faced with growing pressure to crack down on an "occupied" protest zone following two weekend shootings, Seattle’s mayor said Monday that officials will move to wind down the blocks-long span of city streets taken over two weeks ago that President Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... asserted is run by "anarchists." Ending the Slumber of Love? Mayor Jenny Durkan said at a news conference that the violence was distracting from changes sought by thousands of peaceful protesters seeking to address racial inequity and police brutality. She said the city is working with the community to bring the "Capitol Hill Occupied Protest" zone to an end. |

| #13 I'd swear it was almost as if Antifa and the politicians were working together. Everyone wants to stop Hitler. And if you end up ruling the world, all the better. |

| #11 Trying to minimize the political, economic, social and cultural cost of an attempt to get Trump to take the bait and crack down on someone? If I didn't know better, I'd swear it was almost as if Antifa and the politicians were working together. |

| #9 Let them set up their little autonomous zone in a field somewhere out in the boondocks. They can use concertina wire for their "border". |

| #7 She said the city is working with the community to bring the "Capitol Hill Occupied Protest" zone to an end. I.e., not any time soon; she's spineless like Gov. Inslee, which is why it's all talk right now. I hope this goes on until at least Labor Day. |

| #5 I'm gonna pop a bag of popcorn when they actually try. The incompetence has been so complete I wouldn't be surprised if they sent in a clown brigade complete with honk horns. |

| #4 while volunteers handed out food, water and toiletries. That's sooo nice. Did they buy them from local stores with their own money? Very altruistic. Or liberate the stuff from local stores? How Marxist. |

| #2 Leave it be for a few more months. Right now, money is pouring into CHOP from useful idiots and Marxist m/billionaires from all over the country. They will soon get bored supporting useless mouths to feed. Let it get really get ripe over the summer and turn into a full fledged socialist dictatorship, death squads and all. Capitol hill is Seattle's gay and socialist voter headquarters. They are the ones who voted for the socialist/Marxist city officials that allowed this to happen. They haven't yet gotten enough of it good and hard yet and haven't learned a damn thing. |
