Chop Going Down

[Gregg]

Now three days, and still waiting.

Will be very surprised if the Democrats do anything.
Too bad that law suite by CHOP business owners and residents will get nowhere, Sovereign Immunity.

Funny, none of that kind of stuff going on here in Florida.
As to that Trap in Tampa a couple days ago, the Cops should have done mag dumps into the crowd where the bottles and rocks were coming from.
But unfortunately, that is exactly what the organizers want the Cops to do, so they can have bigger and more destructive demonstrations.
Unless this gets cut off soon, this will spiral out of control; then average citizens will be forced to defend their own businesses and homes.

...then average citizens will be forced to defend their own businesses and homes.

When that happens. When these criminals that the LEFT WING SOCIALIST EXTREMISTS are calling protestors. Start going into areas that people have a right to defend themselves. That is if some Mayor does not go over board and makeup some nonexistent law and suspends the right of the people to have guns even in their homes or businesses. Being SARCASTIC but hey you never know what a LEFT WING LIBERAL will try. Like that Mayor in WPB

Even if residential or business owner do defend themselves against these criminals that were to come on their property and attacked them, loot, tried to burn their homes/businesses did anything to stop these rioters, not protestors. It'd be these innocient AMERICANS that are demonized and maybe even arrested for doing so.

You could have 10 home invaders in your home that broke in laying dead and be asked did you have to shoot the PROTESTERS. They were just expressing their 1st Admendment right to protest in justice.

SERIOUSLY get out before I start expressing my injustice for even asking such a stupid question. Oh yeah CNN sucks ass. As they are leaving.

Then after an hour the police arrive. because local politicians told them not to respond to rioters. That is until they found out a few got smoked breaking into homes or businesses.

Oh yeah Florida has laws against breaking and entering and arson. I'm ready and tired of this.

One of the so called high up leaders of BLM said unless they get what they want. They will get it through violence on FOX NEWS. He also this nation was built on violence so will be the BLM movement. Bring it on bitch your far out numbered. These are nothing but an off shoot of Black Panthers

[Gregg]

Day four, still waiting.

[Clyde621]

They said please leave, they didn’t say “purity please” so we’re not leaving.

[playswithstyrene]

[P5 Guy]

Reno and Clinton wouldn't go anywhere near CHAZ/CHOP

[Gregg]

Day five, still waiting.

Beginning to think, this will not end until election day in November.

Still "cajoling"...

Protesters Block Seattle Workers From Dismantling Autonomous Zone
BY ZACHARY STIEBER June 27, 2020 Updated: June 27, 2020 Print


People occupying a so-called autonomous zone in Seattle blocked city workers from removing barriers, leading to a meeting on Friday with Mayor Jenny Durkan.

Employees from multiple departments arrived outside the zone early Friday morning “to continue the recovery of the Capitol Hill neighborhood, with the goal of removing some additional barriers blocking the roadways and cleaning up Cal Anderson Park,” a city spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an emailed statement.

“Once this work commenced to remove some of the barriers blocking roadways, City workers were met with significant resistance by protesters, who grew increasingly agitated and aggressive towards City workers.”

Protesters are refusing to leave until their demands are met. The demands include abolishing the Seattle Police Department, reparations for “victims of police brutality,” and a retrial of all minorities currently in prison for violent crimes.

Plans are being made on how to safely transition the area, known as the Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP), from the occupation to normal operations.

Durkan, a Democrat, announced Monday the city would dismantle the zone after a steady increase in violence, including a fatal shooting. She had previously expressed support for the occupation, claiming it could lead to a “summer of love.”

The zone includes an abandoned Seattle Police Department precinct. After police left the building on June 8, protesters streamed into the area, moving barricades across city streets and blocking traffic.

Response times to crimes soared, according to Police Chief Carmen Best. The lawlessness forced local businesses to close as occupiers intimidated residents, prospective customers, employees, and delivery drivers, a class action lawsuit filed against city officials said.

Officials were supposed to publicly outline plans to dismantle the zone by Saturday or lawyers representing the plaintiffs would file a court order, but the lawyers agreed not to file the order, the Seattle City Attorney’s office said.

The Seattle Police Department didn’t return to the East Precinct on Friday, the city spokesperson told The Epoch Times. A mayoral spokesperson told the Associated Press that there are no plans to return to the precinct this weekend.

The continued standoff led to Durkan meeting with CHOP organizers Friday evening. She did not speak to reporters afterward.

The mayor’s office said in a statement after the meeting that Durkan met with organizers “to discuss the restoration of the Capitol Hill area and long-term changes to transform policing.”

“The City’s goal remains to allow any individuals to exceed use their first amendment rights while also preserving the public safety of local residents and small businesses. The Mayor suggested a series of steps that she believes can be taken in the coming days, including the removal of the barriers to create more access. She also believes in the planning for some of the long term changes to Cal Anderson including art installations and the community garden,” it added.

City officials are working to help any occupiers who need assistance accessing shelter, healthcare, food, COVID-19 testing, or mental health services and representatives planned to return to the site on Saturday.
