    Seattle Gets Slapped With Lawsuit Over CHOP......

    Residents and businesses near the “autonomous zone” in Seattle sued the city Wednesday, arguing their rights were “overrun by the city of Seattle’s unprecedented decision to abandon and close off an entire city neighborhood.”


    Anarchists set up the area, known as the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, on June 8 and forbid law enforcement and first responders from entering. Police also completely abandoned their precinct in the location. Some areas were even .


    According to the lawsuit, city officials helped prop up the lawlessness by providing those within CHOP barriers, public restrooms and medical supplies. Meanwhile, residents and business owners face difficulties entering their properties, receiving deliveries, and carrying out business operations, according to The Seattle Times. For the elderly and disabled, the challenges presented by CHOP are even worse.


    “It is time for this City-endorsed occupation to cease,” Calfo Eakes, the law firm representing the group, said in a statement to The Seattle Times. “Our clients need their neighborhoods and lives back, and the City has been indifferent to our clients’ other calls for help. Our clients sincerely believe that peaceful protests and the message of those protests should continue, but in a way that does not attract violence and destroy our clients’ neighborhood or their livelihoods.”.....snip~

    We know that police have no duty to protect, but this case goes beyond that general proposition. It will be interesting to see how the courts handle it.

    Seattle Leaders Allow Rioting While Strictly Enforcing Parking And Tax Payments

    June 25, 2020 By Paul Guppy
    Seattle’s elected officials allow widespread law-breaking by some, while imposing full enforcement on the rest of us.


    Maybe the rest of Seattle's population can get something done.

    Well you had to figure it was coming. They do not have the right to annex a part of the city where you own property and pay taxes.

    This backfired on that dumb ass mayor and governor. But how could it have not? Do the right things your rarely have these problems. Don't do the right things and you get into these spin situations.

    Everyone knows what I am about to say but just choose to ignore it: give any kind of bully an inch and they will take a mile.

    They should have sent the cops in and cleaned these idiots out on day 2.

    I am tired of everyone fighting with each other. This is all by design.

    Is it true she asked the police to help and they laughed at her?

    I don't know. But I think she said they weren't going to take back the precinct by force.
