The anarchists declared a “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” in the wake of police giving up the week-long blockade of the East Precinct.

“I guess whatever the fuck we’re doing is effective,” one organizer identified as Magik said over a megaphone early in the night as police were still clearing the area. “They are going to move up. They are going to get everybody out of here and we are free to move through these streets and protest and march.”
The surprise pullback of SPD riot police and National Guard troops came together quickly Monday afternoon after a day of hastily clearing out equipment, moving trucks, and reports of a “mobile shredding unit” at the building at 12th and Pine that is home to the East Precinct headquarters as well as department office facilities. “The decision has been made to allow demonstrators to march past the East Precinct later today,” an announcement sent to department staff about the decision to close the building read. “Additional measures are currently underway to enhance our ongoing efforts to insure the security of our East Precinct and provide for the safety of all our officers.” (Capitol Hill Seattle)

Seattle protesters march on city hall to demand Mayor Durkan’s resignation
Hundreds of protesters swarmed city hall in Seattle Tuesday night to demand Mayor Jenny Durkan’s resignation.
The crowd chanted “Hey, hey! Ho, ho! Jenny Durkan’s got to go!” during the roughly hour-long takeover, led by Councilwoman Kshama Sawant.
Some protesters carried “Black Lives Matter” and “Durkan must go” signs, according to the Seattle Times.
“When you talk about black rights, you can’t leave out the horrific gentrification in Seattle,” Sawant told the newspaper.
She placed the blame on Amazon, which is headquartered in Seattle.
“Taxing Amazon is absolutely a part of black rights … It’s about actually putting dollars on the table to address inequities affecting the black community,” Sawant said.
The councilwoman also addressed the crowd, which overtook city hall’s lobby and steps, saying the council would soon take up legislation “banning chemical weapons and chokeholds.” She also cheered Seattle’s $15 minimum wage and pushed for better political representation that “grabs power for ordinary people.”
The protesters left peacefully around 10 p.m., with some convening on Capitol Hill — in an area dubbed “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” or CHAZ — outside the Seattle Police Department’s East Precinct. A screen that was set up played the movie “13th,” the Seattle Times reported…….

Amazon should do the right thing and move OUT of cesspool Seattle.
Hell no! They are supporting BLM!
BLM and ANTIFA are a worldwide movement.
Amazon donates $10 million to organizations supporting justice and equity
(It will never be enough for these radical people.)
Donations to the NAACP, National Urban League, Thurgood Marshall College Fund, and UNCF, among others, seek to support education and justice for Black communities across the U.S.
By Amazon on June 03, 2020 (Updated: June 09, 2020)
ACLU Foundation
Black Lives Matter
Brennan Center for Justice
Equal Justice Initiative
Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law
NAACP
National Bar Association
National Museum of African American History and Culture
National Urban League
Thurgood Marshall College Fund
UNCF (United Negro College Fund)
Year Up
In addition, BEN will receive a grant to fund local organizations that support education and racial equality initiatives in communities across the country where our employees live and work.
“Amazon’s leadership and BEN have worked hand-in-hand to identify organizations in the Black community that make a difference and will contribute to them in a meaningful way. In addition to the organizations listed, we will work with our chapters to identify local groups to support,” said Angelina Howard, president of BEN. “We will continue these conversations about how Amazon can support employees and the entire Black community beyond these tragic recent events.”
Together, we stand in solidarity with the Black community—our employees, customers, and partners—in the fight against systemic racism and injustice.
Update, June 9: Since announcing our $10 million donation, we’ve heard many employees are making their own contributions—and we’ve decided to match their donations 100% up to $10,000 per employee to these 12 organizations until July 6, 2020.
Photo above: We raised the Pan-African flag on Amazon’s Seattle campus earlier this year in partnership with BEN to honor Black history and celebrate the meaning of the flag.
Amazon Pan- Africa flag hoisted at their Seattle complex. I’d bet these black protestors don’t even know what that is or could care less. It’s not about that. This is ridiculous!
They are going to push this in to a terrible outcome!
The Deaths of Antifa, Antifa supporters, BLM and BLM supporters is not a terrible outcome. It is justice.
BLM, ANIFA and others are trying to stage a coup d’etat. They see others don’t have the courage to confront them and it is less bloody. If I am wrong, who is stopping them?. This is why they are targeting the police. Always pay attention to whose side the police and military are on. That is either a defense for you or for them.

Il stand with they guy holding the Bible.
These two bit punks think they have won. ……LOL…..
how long before electricity & water is turned off.
Those “inequities” are caused by low Intelligence Quotients and laziness.
This was a disgrace. This is why they don’t want the Police around. The President most likely won’t win Commiefornia ,Horegon or Washington State, so let them become whatever toilets they want to be. He won’t bail them out or send them money, and they can secede when he wins.
Hello, Michael Goldman. I’ve been very disappointed in many of this president’s actions. I DO intend to vote for him again. However, this time I won’t donate time and money, as I did in 2016. Just his “criminal justice reform” and lack of deportations that SHOULD have been done, under EXISTING law … and you can probably understand my disappointment.
Dollars ‘ll gitcha doughnuts, the left wingnut cities and states will be bailed out, with our federal tax dollars.
No they will NOT be bailed out, because that is the one thing that would make people stay home and not vote for him. I am also unhappy that the Illegals are not gone, and I am unhappy nothing was done about Sanctuary Cities and states. You do not bail out any of these states, especially since you won’t win any of them in the election. We’ll see what happens, but I do not believe he is stupid enough to sign anything that will do that.
When federal funds, solely for police, to the sanctuary states was threatened to be cut off …. Didn’t happen.
Threats and promises are one thing. Positive actions are another.
We’re going to find out how long the President is going to let this stupidity in Seattle go on. He should have ended it already. If it goes on for a week, we absolutely have a real problem with the President. The WSJ had an article today about the President firing Esper( and Esper almost resigning.) We have a real problem there. Was Esper that stupid to realize that he had a mayor in DC that was telling people the White House should be burnt down? If that had happened, Esper would have beaten Hitlery and obozo up the gallows pole, and it won’t be the President or any politician that does it. it would have been the people. He wouldn’t have been safe anywhere.
When the irish riots, in NYNY, were ongoing, the local authorities couldn’t deal with them. As long as the irish stayed in irish areas, all was well. However, the irish moved their riots into better non-irish neighborhoods and the financial district … the thefts and broad daylight rapes were too much to take.
So, Lincoln called in the military. The irish looters and rapists were confronted in the streets. The troops were in four rows. Present – Fire. Kneel – Present – Fire.
This went on until the only thing left on the streets were dead bodies.
The irish riots ended in less than an hour, with military action.
Why can’t we deal with these riots, that self-same way?
You’re preaching to the choir, and that choir might be even bigger on RSW. I’m sure it is big here also.
I guess who would get the blame? 3–2–1.
All that I know is that I have many (as in MANY) gun hating acquaintances, that since February, have been calling to see if I had any firearms that I could lend, or sell. As earlier, many stores were sold out,
I tried not to “rub it in” and, in most instances I didn’t, but on some … I simply couldn’t help it.
Told you you would be needed again to fight your country’s corner ????????????????????
I sure hope *I* won’t be!! The Army is ROUGH on women. But I was glad to do my duty.
This won’t end soon and will no doubt escalate so have your gun loaded and ready.
I’v got my catapult????
I carry concealed, so I’m always ready. I just pray I’ll never have to use it.
Bless your 1st amendment!
Keep safe and stay kicking????
2nd Amendment, but I agree 🙂
Of course the 2nd????
It was near 2 in the morning and I was getting tired.
I love that 2nd amendment and wish there was one here but I love the 1st amendment too and we need we need one to protect the other.
God bless.
even China didnt do that at Tenemen Square .Get real. Even Pakistan or Iran wouldnt do that.
Political correctness has emasculates the western world.
As a female I wholeheartedly agree. It’s getting really pathetic.
Looks very much like all those guns that are kept stocked in American homes are going to come in useful.
Better safe than dead.
Keep vigilant!
Even you might be surprised how many peaceful, kind, wonderful people who would never initiate harm of any kind understand the importance of the 2nd Amendment to protect all other freedoms, and have been staying ready for decades. It’s sort of passed on from generation to generation. Antifa morons wouldn’t stand a chance for 5 seconds against most of the people I know.
It’s a great pity that it wasn’t passed on to them. ( the antifa scum)
George Soros has taken every opportunity to weaken this country in every possible way. This entire mess is on him. The virus hoax was on Fauci, who is still a free man, instead of a locked-up felon.
Nobody seems to know why he hasn’t been arrested for sedition and treason. He’s certainly guilty of those crimes.
the farce must be played out for everyone to see before the hammer falls.I know its gunna be good.
Write, or better yet, CALL your representatives instead of whining, you’ll get a lot further in life. Whining just makes you appear to be a 2-year old.
My Representatives? In my state, my representatives are all liberal scum, because I live in a liberal scum blue state, and i’m not ashamed to call it that. It is what it is.
SO WHAT if they are! Does THAT keep you from telling them the TRUTH? If so, you’re as bad as they are! My reps are liberal too, but I FREQUENLY give them an earful! They KNOW that conservatives will vote them out if we can, that’s why they are using voter fraud! Your SILENCE means your COMPLIANCE with their evil!
What an optimist you are. You give them an earful? 5 seconds after they read the start of your letter, it goes in the shredder. Just like most the letters that people send to their bosses on how to make their companies better.
I’m a Patriot and an Army vet. You BET I give them an earfull!! I let them know that there are MANY of us who disapprove of their concept of leadership and that they are not RULERS.
And no, I don’t write letters, I use the old fashioned method – the TELEPHONE! Ever hear of that!?
I guess you enjoy being ruled over., God bless ya!
My nephew has a business in Apple Valley, making gates for home owner security fences. He has so much business, he can’t keep up and has a 6 or 8 man crew helping. That’s how much crime is in that area. He had his wife and my brother, who lives with them, are all planning to leave California. It has become a 3rd world country, thanks to liberal lunatics.
And while my nephew makes a LOT of money with his business, he can’t sell it because people with enough money to BUY it are leaving the state. And that’s understandable.
Thanks for writing. You have my sympathy. Newscum constantly refers to California as if it isn’t part of the United States anymore. Ballot harvesting cost the Republicans 7-8 seats in 2018. The President won’t be bailing California out. It is a sanctuary state. We’ll see what happens in November. Even if the Republicans come out and vote in droves, the democrats will have bags of fake ballots ready to pull out of their trunks.
I sure hope not! But with Nazipelosi at the helm of Congress, one never knows . . .
I live in Oregon and yes, he will definitely win this state. NO doubt about it. And the state is called OREGON, not “horegon,” you feckless moron.
How nice that you want to defend your state. Did the President win it in 2016? I’m pretty sure he didn’t. I really hope he does win it. I pray the rest of the state isn’t like Portland. In the meantime, the governor of Oregon, like Commiefornia and Washington State( I need to come up with another name for it) consistently refer to Oregon like it was NOT part of the United States. I guess you keep missing that.
I’m fairly confident that he did. Yup. Portland is only 1 city and it doesn’t speak for all Oregonians.
Actually, I haven’t missed a single word of your display.
Seattle (and Portland) are the epicenter of White Elite Leftist America. The black population of Seattle is aprox 7.5% and dropping. Uber-White Seattle residents make up over 70% of the city. They are hypocrites and the most vile racists in America. Their godless self-righteous culture is morally bankrupt. They support Marxist BLM yet the vast majority of them do not live near or work with black people.
More Fun Facts about Evil Racist America
Barack Obama, the lord and savior of Marxist BLM, LBGTQ and White Elite Leftists now lives on Martha’s Vineyard. As of 2016, the island’s permanent residency was 88.1% White, 3.7% Black, 0% Asian, 1.7% Hispanic. A handful of affluent Blacks vacation on MV and have for many years but don’t believe the hype, the Island is overwhelmingly white and always has been.
Isn’t it telling that the most famous black person as well as the most famous Leftist in the world can live anywhere. money no object, yet he choose to live on a New England resort Island that is almost 90% white. Actions, as they always do, scream louder than any Marxist propaganda.
Obama is continuing the great hypocritical Leftist tradition of moving to an almost all-white segregated town after their Presidency. The Clintons moved to Chappaqua, NY, just north of NYC. Predictably, the town is 92% White, and UNDER 1% Black !!!!. There are so few black people in Chappaqua, NY, every white knows all the blacks. The joke is you can fit all of Chappaqua’s black residents in one diner booth. That way we can keep an eye on them.
Where ex-Presidents “choose” to live is calculated. It’s no accident that that they select towns with little or no black folks. Like most of White America, they are averse to crime and the heightened crime risks of living among blacks. It don’t get more racist than that.
Washington State has now joined them. I’m sure that you have noticed.
The left eating their own, lol. The libtards get what they deserve.
The left eating their own, lol. The libtards get what they deserve.
Napalm was made for such celebrations,… Soon,…very soon.
ANTIFA and their Commiecrat allies are daring the President to send in federal troops to eject them from their armed fortress thus setting off a new crisis
Good ! He’s progressive and deserves what he gets.
GO IN TRUMP AND CLEAN THESE ANIMALS OUT THEY ARE BAD FOR OUR COUNTRY AND THEY ARE NOT AMERICANS THEY ARE ANARCHIST SEND THEM TO CHINA IN A BOAT AND LET THE CHINESE TAKE CARE OF THESE NUTS
Your caps lock is stuck! Fix it so you won’t appear to be SCREAMING!! People don’t enjoy reading posts that are all in caps!
CNUTS!
I believe a paycheck fortifies the “effort” of the rioters. Who would pay to destroy a city or a state’s economy? Is paying people to protest legal? Who pays for the damages? At the beginning of a recent town hall, the leader asked the crowd if anybody there was a paid protester. One man got up, smiled, then looked around sheepishly when he saw he was standing alone. The man who asked seemed incredulous. “You mean,” he gulped, “somebody paid you to protest”? The man admitted it. He said there was no reason not to, as he believed in what he was doing, so why not get paid for it? The moderator pressed on and asked, “Who is paying for this, and how did you find out?” The man replied, “I went to George Soros dot com, and left my email address for them to contact me. They did, and now I get a paycheck from them.” The moderator asked if George Soros signed it, and the man indicated he did. Then the moderator asked if it was “signed in blood?”
We know the name George Soros, and Wikipedia lists him as a “philanthropist.” The way he “earned” his money is not clearly indicated as illegal, but in the aftermath, a major bank was bankrupted, and currency manipulation laws were changed. Arrest warrants are pending for him in more than one country, but the American Left has their hero. I would not stand up for him. He clearly has a not so well hidden agenda, but he is old, and well connected to the Clinton Crime Corp. (Guess who Chelsea is related to)?
Russia has asked the U.S. Government to extradite Soros to Russia for a trial THERE, but the U.S. Government is protecting Soros from Russia, for some unknown reason. And yes, it is a known fact that Soros is paying rioters and looters $200 each, plus bussing them to cities that he wants they to hit. What I don’t understand is why our government hasn’t arrested Soros!!
Wow????. Is that true?
I’d love to see that scumbag squirm at the feet of the Russians where he would live his last days in the gulag archipelago????
He has not broken American laws. He is covered under the First Amendment. To extradite, a person has to brreak the law only if it is in effect in both countries.
During Vietnam, draft dodgers went to Canada which had no draft, so what was illegal here wasn’t there, and they would not extradite them.
