It’s no longer big news that Black Lives Matter, Antifa, anarchists, sex offenders, and criminal opportunists seized a six-block area in Seattle’s chi-chi Capitol Hill district. The same people who protested against Trump’s walls built walls around their Utopian paradise, the gun haters armed themselves, and the ones decrying identification at elections demand identification for anyone seeking to enter the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (or CHAZ). Most mayors would be horrified, but not Jenny Durkan. She likes it.

De Blasio gives tough competition in this 'race'.

The dims are like Pavlov’s dog - Trump says no, they go to the extreme opposite much to the detriment of their own constituency. If Trump had applauded the anarchists/terrorists, you can bet Durkan would be shutting it down fast.
Dims have no idea what they want to do until Trump says something, then they KNOW to do the opposite. He should tell Durkan NOT to jump in a lake.

CHAZ. Isn't that Cher's offspring? A guy with no 'Y' chromosome.

Somebody ask the Mayoress to whom the residents of CHAZ should make out their property tax checks. That should be interesting.

Trump says clean out that cesspool or I will. I believe the crazy governor and the crazier mayor WANT that to happen. Why? There would be violence, which those two would, of course, blame Trump and the military for, magnified a thousand times by the so-called ''media.''
They would only show the parts where the military is responding to the actions by the nut-jobs, not the part that caused the military reaction. They've done this for decades. That gives the Rats about 5 months to attack President Trump about ''his violent attack on peace loving American citizens with HIS brutal military.'' It's what they do.

I believe something is happening behind the scene. For Antifa and BLM to start extortion from the businesses is a sign that they do not have money. Knowing that Antifa and BLM are well financed, this leads me to believe that their financial resources have been cut off by the government. I could be wrong, I hope I'm on target. Let's wait and see.

I believe you're right #6. President Trump doesn't have to send in the troops. Cutting their funds is a very good tactic. They will not want to stay in a six-block area for the rest of their lives, especially when the residents have had enough and turn on them. The FBI can be waiting and arrest them as they come out.
Surround the area with FBI and stop the flow of alcohol and drugs. That will get them out.

You can't talk about the crazed Mayor until you talk about the crazed voters that put her in that position and sit back in a vegetated state while she let's Antifa destroy the town. They are all culpable.

Yes, yes we have. Plenty of us remember the mayors of Detroit, Dinkins of NYC, the mayors of Baltimore, San Francisco and then there is Tiny Dancer who pretty much destroyed Chicago. They all set the stage for Durkan. However having said that, I think that the relatives of the Gates H1B's visas he has hired for decades and who now run the city council of Seattle are even worse than Durkan. Especially the one who is working hand in glove right now with the Antifa terrorists, even letting them into city hall with her very own key.
If Trump lets this drag on too long, the disaster for LE is going to be huge, and unfortunately Trump will bear some of the responsibility for the damage.

There are a lot of Jenny's in Corporate America. Fortunately, I was able to retire just in time. They are being promoted daily through "diversity" not accomplishment and then they get drunk on their new found "power"!!! They have been raised in single children families and are all princesses...well some have become princes... And they have been made super stupid through higher education!

When the Antifa crowd starts missing momma's cooking, their Hot Pockets and video games in the basement and BLM misses their buckets of fried chicken they'll give up a come out. Then arrest them all and send them all to Gitmo but don't keep them on American soil. Make an example of these idiots for others with the same intent to see.

I am 76. Have lived in Seattle since 1958 (I was 14) I don't think I ever voted for a candidate for any office that managed to get elected.

We have that same problem in California.
But that creature mayor in Chicago takes the cake. Hideous.

Remember when the Branch Davidians rioted and seized downtown Waco ?
Me neither.
But tanks and choppers would disinfect this hive of scum and villainy.
Seems only fair.

This little experiment in Seattle is going to end very, very badly. At some point, men will come to evict them, and the only way this could end peacefully is if the protestors/looters/rioters/communists just leave. But if anybody thinks they'll go peacefully you're only fooling yourself.

When you vote into office someone who, because of their sex, race or sexual orientation not because they are competent, this is what happens. But by golly, you sure feel proud of yourself for being so, so, woke.

President Trump should allow Seattle to stew in its own juices until enough people residing there decide to elect a responsible Mayor. Anyone now residing in that “occupied” zone who wants to leave that area can voluntarily leave anytime they wish. When 87% of the Seattle voters voted against you in the last election, there is no way to reason with them, especially when they are being led by an extreme leftist Democrat Mayor who considers that occupied zone to be a big garden party. After President Trump offered federal assistance, the extreme leftist Democrat Governor of Washington and extreme leftist Democrat Mayor essentially responded by telling the President to go jump in the lake. Clearly the President should now wash his hands of the Seattle situation.

Not one penny of US taxpayer money for that city. Why do we always fund our enemies?

Trump should just let this play out and Seattle take the damage. The mayor said she doesn't want federal help...so be it. Once the area starts winding down, it will descend into a 'Lord of the Flies' situation and fun to watch.
They actually want the military to charge in so they can have a martyr or two and compare themselves to the Bunker Hill heroes. Just leave them be. The mayor could solve it by cutting off the phone and the internet. Without their phones, they will leave the next day.

If they cordon off the area, shut off the water, electricity and cell 'phone/Internet, it will speed things along nicely.

If I were Trump, I would slow walk it. Wait until the leftist fools start blaming him for not doing anything. In the meantime, let is slide.
