    There was 3 shootings inside and near the area. One of the shootings lead a man bleeding to death because Paramedics couldn't get through the borders nor police could just shows how a community who doesn't know anything how to run there own little community leads into ruins.

      Mikeykillsit_07 1 its crazy that you don’t know about that. The media was almost silent about it because well, they got the wrong people, shot them in a car (the two kids were going on a joy ride in the park), they said ‘what your not dead yet’ and fired more. Then theres the video of them removing evidence literally saying ‘no one is going to find out’. Most of them seem to be teenagers - apparently thats ‘chaz security’. But I guess you don’t hear about that because the media or black lives matter did not saying anything about it.

    They took back the zone in part of the 19 year old, but also in part by the 14 year old black boy that was killed, and a 16 hear old black boy that was left in critical condition. The "CHOP Security Force" tried to delete footage of the incident, and also threatened to pistol whip the boy that was still alive after they had riddled him with bullets.

      Ha! If you think that the media, City, and SPD didn’t wage a disinformation campaign about CHOP, you’d be mistaken. They repeatedly gaslighted the public and propagated lies that contributed to mistrust and violence on the ground. They then blamed protestors for their lack of a response to the shootings that took place. The whole CHOP seems to have been orchestrated by the police, and there are more psyops than meets the eye..

      It doesn’t. It seeks to trap them where they are. If you don’t do better in life and you stay on the handout, you stay voting for the ppl providing them handouts: democrats. Go read Lyndon Johnson’s quotes after he passed the great society.
      Anytime we lower test score thresholds for blacks: we do them a disservice. How racist is that? It’s pretty much saying you ppl aren’t smart enough to pass this test so we are gonna dumb it down for you. And they take it! That’s what’s crazy. The democrats do this stuff to them and they take it! Biden said on charlamane the gods podcast before the 2020 election. . . Not exact words but you can look it up….. he said something to the effect of : if you gotta figure who you are gonna vote for when it comes to me or Donald trump….. then you ain’t black” and charlamane took it lmao. That’s why I laugh when they’d talk that John Lewis civil rights hero bs ……
      This was a pathetic man who walked across that bridge and got his head smashed in ……. By democrats…… only to turn around and join the same party that split his wig open. Black ppl better wake up. You might not like my tone but my message ain’t wrong and you can research all this stuff. Wake up.

    Well Seattle, as the only city or town in the world with that name you are finally referred to without the identifier of being located in Washington State. Apparently being the original home of Boeing, Starbucks, Amazon, UPS, Microsoft, Grunge, surrounded to its East and West by two different mountain ranges, near the volcano that blew dust across America 40 years ago in modern times, and nearest state to Alaska it was never enough to inform most Americans just where you were. But now everyone knows. Thanks CHOP/CHAZ, your notoriety put Seattle on the map, not something praiseworthy but something despicable. Yep.

The last three years, he won’t take us there because he says it’s not safe and there are needles and syringes all over the ground and protests erupt constantly and he doesn’t want me or my kids hurt. It makes him so sad too because he’s always loved Seattle and WA State in general! It’s such a BEAUTIFUL state and it’s a shame what the government has allowed to happen there.

    Anyone who claims to be a citizen of the independent autonomous Chaz seems to get mad when they get arrested by undercover police and they are saying their constitutional rights are being violated. Technically they have no American Constitutional rights if they believe they are seperate from the U.S.A They should only be provided a lawyer if they repledge their allegiance to the flag just like the Confederates did after the civil war. If they don't they should put them on a chain gang and make them repair all the damage they did to the city. If they refuse to pledge their allegiance they should be deported to a country of their choice and I think we could even give them some money to be on their way as long as they never come back.

    It doesn't matter "unless they politicize" themselves. That city council lady nailed it. The actual power is in City Hall. As that one kid said, the budget, the money, where the resources go. That's what matters. The Occupy Movement failed (and it did) and "CHAZ" (or whatever it's called) failed (and it did) _because they wouldn't_ politicize.
    I remember here in Philadephia, reading quotes from the anarchist leadership of our Occupy chapter, they were essentially _proud_ of the fact they weren't going to sponsor candidates. And then what happened? Nothing. It still irritates me.
    They had the eyes of the world on them and the sympathy of the people, political capital if anything is, yet arrogantly chose to not take advantage of it. And so they became nothing.
    I have no love for conservative ideology, but conservatives at least understand the democratic process better than us leftists ever will. They understand that power lies in the ballot box (the Tea Party is a bunch of twats but within a few years in the mainstream they had their people in governor's mansions) not in a glorified camp ground outside of City Hall where dirty kids play hacky sack all day.
