Business owners and residents in Seattle’s so-called “Capitol Hill Occupied Protest” zone, or CHOP, are growing increasingly concerned about safety inside the area, according to local reports.
Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best declared this week that there’s no “cop-free zone” in the city, but stakeholders in the neighborhood around the abandoned East Precinct police station say otherwise.
And response times to 911 calls in the surrounding area have tripled since police vacated the building, according to authorities. “We are just sitting ducks all day,” Matthew Ploszaj told Seattle-based KIRO 7. “Now every criminal in the city knows they can come into this area,

And what are you doing to protect yourself and your interests? Where is your rifle? Spare mags? Just screaming "government help me" doesn't seem to be working, does it?
I bet I know who he voted for.

I suggest the residents in CHOP call their council people, the mayor or governor to come help them. This is what they voted for, now live with it.

You get what you pay for Seattle. You allowed the Communists to take over your government that is allowing this. Now you can live with it or get off your arse and do something about it.

Matthew will now be in the crosshairs of Raz and his gang for daring to speak up. Good luck with that.
Note to Matthew - as your messiah once said, “Elections have consequences”.

It's time for tanks and flame throwers to move and clean out the Democrats that occupy this area.

Democrats like the Mayor and City Council in Seattle are not just tolerant of criminals, they're actually supportive of their life styles and give them free rein to steal, take drugs openly, and beat up other people...in their designated free-for-all space, Mainly because these officials aren't personally subjected to such behavior in their own safe neighborhoods and with their own police protection. It would be interesting to see how they like it if the CHAZites decided to set up CHAZ2, CHAZ3, etc. right in these officials own neighborhoods. I would remind the CHAZites that there are much better bikes and other goodies to "share" out where Mayor Durkan lives, not to mention Bill Gates as well. Enjoy!

OK Chumley, so what if somebody does indeed use a weapon to protect himself or his business. Who do you think will go to jail? The 2nd amendment has been gutted to the point of being null and void. Especially in Seattle.

The one way this can be fixed is for the mayor and the governor to publicly declare CHAZ a disaster and call Trump personally for help. Trump will have them both with him before the lights and cameras, with pens in their hands, to sign on the dotted lines an unconditional agreement that the POTUS can and will anything he sees fit to clean out the human trash in Seattle.

Trouble in paradise. Gee, that didn't take long. If not for the free food via outside deliveries these people would have been starved out already. Let it play out to its inevitable disastrous end. Good suggestion, #10. These people must feel cheated having to exist on apples and bananas while all of those celebrities living in the better areas are feasting on steaks and fine wine. I would guess they have walls around their estates though.

Soros has his band-of-brothers he can deploy at a moment's notice if the call is accompanied by cash. Check out www.libertydaily.com for an apt photo of George Soros. Rational people do not imagine that the occupying army of thugs riots for a ''principle.'' Cash and free food and transportation is what they receive.

Miserable people sharing their misery...and Trump should do something? He is...ignoring this local issue. Washington state had a governor; Seattle a mayor. This is theirs to have and to hold. As for Matthew, call the governor or the mayor!

Who did you vote for?
I took a niece down to purchase a gun cleaning kit and some powder solvent and oil......two huge outdoors stores......NO .38/9mm cleaning kits, and NO .38 Special ammunition. The entire handgun ammunition aisle, about 20 ft long and head high had 5 boxes of ammo. Reasonable supplies of rifle ammo, plenty of small shot shotgun hunting ammo.....essentially NO handgun ammo, and no .38/9mm pistol cleaning kits.
THAT is interesting an the new 2nd Lt in USAF got an interesting lesson and is even more pleased with her new .38. I will provide some ammo from my stocks.

Living in a blue state or blue city doesn't mean that you are a communist, voted for communists, or that you've renounced your US citizenship. What is happening to normal citizens in the "occupied" section of Seattle isn't a reason for others to turn their backs on them. It can happen anywhere, including my staunchly conservative, largely rural county in East Texas, just as it happened to the formerly red counties of Northern Virginia, much of it due to the failure of the federal government to halt illegal immigration and overloading on legal immigration.

Suggestion to Citizens stuck in the CHOP zone:
If you need the Police right away, call 'em.
If they tell you that they can't come,
just wait 5 minutes, call 'em back and tell 'em that you just SHOT a LOOTER.
I GUARANTEE they will be there ASAP!
If they then say "You LIED when you said you shot a looter."
You can then say "YOU lied when you said you could not come when I called."

#30 heard a joke along those very lines years ago.
They say that 'shots fired' will summon them ??
'K - If it were me, I would be able to honestly tell them that shots were fired.
