Seattle Mayor Compares ‘Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone’ To A ‘Block Party’

I wonder of this Idiot really know how STUPID she looks.  It is an Illegal Occupation. Can't wait to see these maggots removed for the people of the City since the currant City Government are total PUSSIES to take back their town. democrats are known to be like that

Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan compared the takeover by protesters of a six-block area they named the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” to a “block party,” according to The Daily Wire.

“We’ve had blocks of Seattle and Capitol Hill shut down every summer for everything from block party to Pride; this is really not that much of an operational challenge.”

Durkin made the remark despite the fact that some protesters were armed and were extorting local residents.

Darkin also said, “It is unconstitutional and illegal to send military to Seattle. If you don’t believe me, you can take the word of a line of highly decorated generals who have said so and have rebuked him. I have spoken to Governor Inslee, and together we will assure the people t this will not be happening; many people actually are afraid that it would happen because the President of the United States said it.”

“Peoples’ voices have been drowned out during this time, and for several hundred years we have allowed a system to build and promote racism to continue to benefit us.”

Asked what the plan was regarding the Capitol Hill area, Durkan answered, “It has been described by the president and others as what it is not; it is not a armed Antifa militia no-go zone. It is a number of people there, we’ve had ongoing communications with them, with the business, with the residents, and we will make sure we find some way for people to continue to protest peacefully while also getting ingress and egress. We’ve had blocks of Seattle and Capitol Hill shut down every summer for everything from block party to Pride; this is really not that much of an operational challenge.”

“But we want to make sure that the businesses and residents feel safe. And we’ll continue to move that forward.”

“We’ve talked about SPD moving in; they did the assessment today, and whether there’s going to be an ongoing assessment about when it would be safe and appropriate for them to move in there, including response times and the like.”

Asked about reports that the people who had taken over the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” had arms and were extorting residents, Durkan answered, “My understanding is there have been some occasions of some property damage, vandalism, a fight but there’s not been any serious incidents that have been documented.”

On Thursday, in an address to police officers, Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best acknowledged:

This week there have been demonstrations and what I understand were threats against a news reporter on Capitol Hill. There was vandalism to our city streets and to our building, but today the precinct remains standing. No officers were hurt, no forces used. We have heard that there are armed people “patrolling” the streets near 12th and Pine. Of course this is very concerning, especially because we don’t know who these people are.

We’ve also heard reports that these armed people may be demanding payment from business owners in exchange for some of that protection. We’ve also heard that they may be demanding to see identification from people who live in the area.
