This Is What Mobocracy Looks Like
“This what democracy looks like! Whose streets? Our Streets! This what democracy looks like!”
You’ve no doubt witnessed some of the televised “protests” and heard these chants emanating from Seattle’s own “people’s republic,” which has dubbed itself the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, or CHAZ, (although some residents of the barricaded six-block area prefer to call their “liberated” zone CHOP, for Capitol Hill Occupied Protest, or PRCH, for People’s Republic of Capitol Hill).
Following days of protest and rioting, BlackLivesMatter/Antifa militants took over the area around the Seattle Police Department’s East Precinct and demanded the police leave their new “Cop-Free Zone.” Seattle’s socialist mayor Jenny Durkan (a militant lesbian and former Obama DOJ appointee), who had encouraged the mayhem that was devastating the city by having police stand down, once again capitulated to the mob: The Seattle PD was ordered to abandon their precinct HQ — and the area’s citizens — to the rioters. Mayor Durkan described the mob takeover as a festive “block party” and positively compared it to San Francisco’s 1967 “Summer of Love,” when tens of thousands of hippies and “peace” activists descended upon that city. Of course, the Fake News media were quick to take up the same theme, describing the CHAZ/CHOP/PRCH seizure as “peaceful” and “festive” — a benign mini-Woodstock!
