    1. @The Assembly In The Wilderness window tint, noise and lift restrictions very on where you live. Only someone that’s never seen or lived in a 3th world country would try to compare the u.s. to one. We have seemingly endless supply of food water energy wifi gps. You can order almost anything and it will show up 1-2 days later these things are amazing.

    2. @William Hughes Thanks for the straw man….here, I’ll light it for you….

    1. @Alex Power Wow, did you type that all by yourself? You really out did yourself, you should apply for a job at the New York Times.

    2. @david forte not tonight because most of them are in jail now. That’s their new home.

    1. @D W 3miles where’d you hear that Iran is broke And Obama Akbar’s army ISIS no longer run’s wild beheading

    2. Just a couple Black kids so what.What matters us that those evil protesters intruded Mayor Jenny Durkans wealthy neighborhood endangering her family and community.Thats not what were about!!!The mayor deserves her white privilege.She is a Democrat and Anti-Trumper

    1. Same thing happened to Occupy. Homeless took over and ruined it.

      -former homeless person

    2. @Adolfo Enrique why because I didn’t know they were homeless? We provide our homeless people with food and shelter. I didn’t know that Seattle didn’t do the same. You know the news lies and exaggerates right.

    1. @Pam Deshane No Trump was totally wrong. By allowing the tempers to cool down before finally moved in help avoid unnecessary bloodbath.

    2. @Adele Lawal If the Blue Dem States did their job right away, there would not be Mob anarchy going on in those states right now!

    3. @logic rules They weren’t men Sunday night they were a couple of black kids aged 16 and 14. Killed by the CHOP security.

    1. Notice all the lady cops are in the second row. And they’re the ones who will get the future promotions. lmao

  1. They are squatters and someone already died there.. Kick those manchildren out

    1. Multiple people, that 6 block area has a higher crime rate than the entire city because of those “peaceful” occupiers

    1. Yall sure seem to ignore that chop “security” just killed an innocent black man. Guess its okay as long as police arent involved

    2. @True Blue even if that is true (which i highly doubt) thats ONE there have been more than 6 shootings in the one month they have been there. Not to mention the rapes, and property damage

    3. i am voting for trump 10 times so he kills more american soldiers! #trump2020 #traitortrump #sleepyjoeRetard #voterfraud

    1. why is it always about trump….
      just accept they this democrat failed at her job and should be fired alongside the city council

      Trump said on day one of chop that the mayor should do her job. It she had done that a 16 year old and 19 year old would still be alive.

      But yeah let’s not give trump too much ammo “rolls eyes”

    2. Stop adding trump. Just saying Democrat mayor failed and leading like many other Democrat city mayors who’ve failed there city.

    3. who needs ammo when democrats constantly shoot themselves in the foot? you make it about trump way too much.

  2. Will the Mayor be convicted of 3rd degree murder for allowing this to remain a secluded area? Could these killings have been prevented? Why is she even still in office?

  3. Why no mention of the 16 and 14 year old black teens who were shot by Chaz security? Did their lives not matter?

    1. Its doenst fit the Narrative.What matters is Council Member Kshama Sawant endangered our mayor Jenny Durkan in her beautiful gated community.The minute they came to her doorstep it was all over!Jenny Durkan deserves our upmost respect.She deserves her White Privilege

    2. Babu Frik right. Pretty scary. They are only for police if it is regulated by them and they make the rules

  4. He only talked about what the protesters wanted, msnbc couldn’t care less about the buisness owners and residents . Just like their mayor

    1. I love seeing Democrats self destruct.Just another reminder these democrats and radicals are fighting amongst themselves rather than uniting all together against Trump.

    2. Are you deaf Stevan? He said “because they FEEL it is their home.” Do the world a favor and get your ears cleaned.

  5. They keep referring to these people as protesters these are not protest.
    They are a bunch of out-of-control entitled, lazy rebellious children.

  6. ASK YOURSELF THIS: Where did all those barricades come from? In CHOP, these violent people collected and erected hundreds of barricades around and amid the CHOP / CHAR zone. How did they get there? How were these “protesters” able to collect them, move them in and line them up so perfectly amid the steep hills of this area. These concrete barricades weigh a ton and the circumference of the zone must be 2 or 3 miles. The city had to bring in backhoes, wheel loaders, huge flatbed trucks and a lot of other other heavy duty equipment to remove them. Where did the barricades come from? What do they cost apiece? I’m sure this many weren’t just lying around loose for the taking. Did the city bring them in? Was this pre-planned? And how about those plywood signs and barricades? Do you know what a sheet of 3/4″ plywood costs nowadays? About $30 and there were hundreds if not thousands of sheets of plywood in this mess. How could these poor disadvantaged people afford that??? Did the city supply that too? Or is there an outside source of dark money that is giving these rioters financial backing. We won’t even add in the cost of all the trimmings. i.e. spray paint $5 a can, other paint $30 gallon, brushes, tarps, ropes, tools, propane gas, firewood, chains, 2×4’s, metal tubing, extension cords, chairs, etc, etc, etc. Where did the money come from for all this and how was it accomplished???? Is this BLM or ANTIFA money and organization? If so, maybe they should be sued instead of the city – and held accountable for the mayhem? ASK THE QUESTIONS – DEMAND THE ANSWERS!

    1. @Tobias Rieper

      Common sense dictates that the coordination level would be a high bar to reach with just petty sealing to produce all the gains in such a small area. Doubt there was a Barriers ‘R’ Us in that section of downtown to pillage from.

    2. plus look in to it the city gave them a bunch it was all over MSM they were praising the city for doing it

  7. Funny how these “protesters” visited the mayor’s mansion to make their demands and a day later the police clear out CHOPS.
