There was another shooting last night. This one was wounded, and they managed to get him out in a timely fashion. Mayor says she wants it cleared out, but has not given a time frame. She says she wants to allow protests during the day but a nighttime curfew. CHOP responded with call for her to resign and a statement that hey won't do anything she says.
This has the potential to really hurt the protestors as the rest of Seattle may wonder when the shit show is coming to their neighborhood.
A billion dollar investment company is pulling out of Seattle - Smead indicated they no longer want to be 'sleepless in Seattle' and are heading for Arizona which will offer a better cost of living and lifestyle. They are unsure what the business community will return to. Goodness - all the people that have beautiful homes in the high-rises need businesses. I heard business owners in Santa Monica, Calif. saying the same thing.
I saw a businessman in Seattle few nights ago with a moving van - he said businesses/owners can't deal with it and are moving out. How can the mayor allow this to happen. Are the residents so liberal they don't care! My friend seldom drives but walks or takes bus to the ferry to go over to Bainbridge - so picturesque. I love downtown Seattle - looked at a condo to buy about 3 blocks from where all this is going on - I'll wait and see what my friend does but her adult children live in Seattle area so doubt she'll pick up and give up her summer place although she's staying grounded here now. Heard thugs were telling the "rich" people above the 5th floors to jump out of their buildings -- how darn scary. Thought my beloved Cali was crazy enough.

In a word, yes.
They should go with “Soyviet Union” ...
Liberals don't care about your business, because businesses have no part in socialism and communism. The entire notion of private business is bad to them, so burning them is good.
I'm not sure who can still defend the Democratic party and Biden through this. Biden admitted he is willing to withhold federal aid to police departments and condition it on fulfillment of an impossible standard.
He won't say he is defunding the police, that is still political suicide, but effectively he would do that unless the police falls in compliance with the far-left, which means they don't exist.
In Seattle, as long as they don't mess with Pike Place Market and the guys throwing the salmon, I am good.
Note: They do have that warning sign to watch out for flying fish.
Ah, yes - under socialism/communism the left MOB will own everything and everyone else will be limited to have more or less same rations but that's the utopia the left lock steppers desire. Unreal.
