SEATTLE MAYOR COMPARES ARMED OCCUPATION OF HER OWN CITY TO A ‘BLOCK PARTY:’
Police in Seattle returned to the East Precinct which was abandoned when Antifa-led protestors took over a six-block area of the city earlier this week. On Thursday afternoon, officers entered the precinct and tensions remain high at this hour.
During a joint press conference with Chief of Police Carmen Best and Mayor Jenny Durkan, Durkan blamed Trump and his narrative for everything that’s happening in downtown Seattle. She denied that there are armed militants, even though press has covered it.
Durkan compared the abandoning of the East Precinct and the the so-called Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone to a block party.
When asked about the occupation, she said, “We’ve had blocks of Seattle and Capitol Hill shut down every summer from everything from block parties to Pride and this is really not much of an operational challenge.”
Meanwhile, this is how AP describes the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone:”
Following days of violent confrontations with protesters, police in Seattle have largely withdrawn from a neighborhood where protesters have created a festival-like scene that has President Donald Trump fuming.
The kicker? That AP article is on the Snopes.com(!) Website. As Frank J. Fleming tweets, “You can only trust The Babylon Bee any more.”
I’d compare the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” to the Lord of the Flies, but as its author finally admitted, “The real Lord of the Flies is a tale of friendship and loyalty; one that illustrates how much stronger we are if we can lean on each other.”
