Seattle saw a staggering 525 percent spike in crime as a result of the violence that swept through the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest, according to Mayor Jenny Durkan.Durkan’s emergency order booting protesters from the six-block cop-free zone makes mention of the “narcotics use and violent crime, including rape, robbery, assault, and increased gang activity” within CHOP since it first emerged in early June.
June 2 to June 30 saw the 525 percent jump in crime compared to the same period last year.
It includes “22 additional incidents, in person-related crime in the area, to include two additional homicides, 6 additional robberies, and 16 additional aggravated assaults (to include 2 additional non-fatal shootings),”

It would be foolish to presume that the reporting of crime was proportional to other times and places in Seattle. How many people were in that 6 block zone? What was the reported crime per capita and how does that compare to the worst neighborhoods in Baltimore, Chicago, East St Louis?
This is where your democrat party is leading. In no time we'll be calling for "control" and that call will be answered swiftly with the control of everything.

And the two young Black children murdered by rioters in the Chop zone have been weighed and found wanting...they were not killed by White policeman. Their names are Horace Lorenzeo Anderson and anomanous

Well, since CHOP was/is an autonomous country of its own, there shouldn't be any Seattle crime in that independent state. So, what she's saying is that the rest of Seattle (the non-CHOP zone) was going to a warm place in a handbasket at the same time, huh?

Once the police are gone, the crime rate in major cities will decline drastically. Remember what Stalin said about voting - it's the vote counters who are important, not the voters. Same is true for crime statistics. The crime rate is determined by the crime counters.

More proof that Mayor Jenny's Summer Antifa-Communist Project didn't quite work out.

FTA .. It includes “22 additional incidents, in person-related crime in the area, to include two additional homicides, 6 additional robberies, and 16 additional aggravated assaults (to include 2 additional non-fatal shootings),” Durkan’s order on Tuesday says.
But mostly the sorry little Ninjas showed up at the mayor's house. That address was a closely guarded secret. Fiendishly clever these Ninjas.

So how long before Mayor Jenny registers as a Republican now? And buys an AR15?

The real stupidity will be if the Seattle electorate votes to give another term of office to this idiot Durkan - for that matter Wilhelm in NY, The Minn. cupcake Mayor, Cuomo, Wolf, Murphy, Siskolak, Grusome Newsome, Whitless in Mich. and on and on. What a group of anti-Amiercan losers!

Nature abhors a vacuum. It's that simple.
You kick the police out of an area, you leave a vacuum of order. That vacuum will quickly be filled by the people with the most strength -- which us usually the evil thug gangs with the guns and violent "enforcers".
Anyone with more than 6 working brain cells knew that is exactly what would happen in CHOP. Only it appears the mayor of Seattle has about 5 fewer working brain cells than that standard!!!! Because of that, I'm sure she actually thought it would be a "summer of love" there in CHOP, with everyone loving and respecting each other. The most dangerous people in the world are really stupid and delusional people with some power!!!
