Nobody is protesting the fire departments, mainly because the fire department is going around assaulting people, shooting them, gassing them and then making friends with white power groups.

In a just world both Pike and Pine would become permanent pedestrian zones between Broadway and 12th. The protesters will eventually disperse. As long as it stays mellow I don't see an issue. Big cities in Europe have been handling pedestrian zones and managing deliveries and life safety issues for decades. Since cars were invented in fact. We can too.

The business of America is business, and business demands access for cars. It's nothing personal. It's just business.

Yeah it's like The Mob* always says
it ain't nuthin' Personal
it's Just Business.

*corporate america
the land of Monopolies (&
Shareholder Value) as GOD.

Oh, wait
perhaps a Country
might be about Caring for
its Citizenry? Or have the
Reptilicans finally put that
nail in the Citizenry's coffin?

But the bedsheets have to go to the laundry first, and then back on the bed.

So despite Mayor Durkan’s pandering, this is quite the opposite of “democracy”. The residents of the area actually want their lives and property back.

Rich Smith, your article state that Ron Amundson is representing the residents of the area in these meetings. Do you know how to contact him? Our building in the middle of CHAZ/CHOP is interested in a dialogue. Thank you

Will be funny if all the people identified with this 'CHAZ/CHOP' are sent a bill from the city for all the services they are consuming. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Of primary concern now: public safety--especially that no one gets killed. Organizers inside CHOP (assuming they are sufficiently empowered and can be identified) should recognize the need for an end game, reasonably negotiate, and withdraw. At this point, their protest is antagonizing many and persuading few.

16: Said the poster who would have written that post about every movement for social and economic change in human history.

If this was June, 1968, you'd be demanding that the police close Resurrection City. if this was 1989, you'd be cheering on Deng Xiaoping for staging a massacre in Beijing and "restoring authority".

You just hate the idea of anyone being able to show that life can be changed for the better. it doesn't even matter to you that no one has been harmed in all of this and nothing has been made worse.

In fact, you just hate LIFE, don't you?

@19: And no, the CHOP hasn't betrayed that antiracist/antioppression cause. Since the police, as an institution, have always been racist, it's a victory for the antiracist/antioppression cause to get the police out of the area. It's not as though the SPD had ever played a positive role on Capitol Hill, had ever done anything but create a greater climate of intimidation for people of color.

We're in an uproar over CHOP and the damage done to businesses. I don't remember the same uproar at those responsible for the great financial collapse that did trillions of dollars in damage. Racist? Only probably. (That's a cue for snowflakes to complain about the card being unfairly played.)

@21: Careful, Rickety...they'll denounce you for committing truth.

"I don't remember the same uproar at those responsible for the great financial collapse that did trillions of dollars in damage."

No one remembers, and that's 'cause it's just The Natural Order of Things and, as EVERY-one Knows, there's just Nothing that can* be DONE.

When we looters is White
its all all right.

I have been suffering from Herpes for the past 3 years and 8 months, and ever since then i have been taking series of treatment but there was no improvement until i came across testimonies of Robinson buckler on how he has been curing different people from different diseases all over the world, then i contacted him as well. After our conversation he sent me the medicine which i took according to his instructions. When i was done taking the herbal medicine i went for a medical checkup and to my greatest surprise i was cured from Herpes. My heart is so filled with joy. If you are suffering from Herpes or any other disease you can contact Robinson buckler today on this Email address:_Robinsonbuckler {@ yahoo}. com

Note to all: never date "Daniellah", "Meghan711", "Jackwangler", or "Linda Goosling". Trust me, it will NOT go well for you if you do.

Its a pleasure for me to write this testimony about how i was cured from Genital Herpes. i have been reading so many comments of some people who were cured from different various diseases by Dr .Abaka, but i never believed them. I was hurt and depressed so I was too curious and wanted to try Dr. Abaka, then i contacted him through his email when i contact him, he assured me 100% that he will heal me, i pleaded with him to help me out. My treatment was a great success, he healed me just as he promised. he sent me his medication and ask me to go for check up after three weeks of taking the medication. i agreed with him i took this medication and went for check up, to my greatest surprise my result was negative after the treatment, i am really happy that i am cured and healthy again. I have waited for 8 weeks to be very sure i was completely healed before writing this testimony. I did another blood test one week ago and it was still Herpes negative. so i guess its time i recommend anyone going through Herpes HSV-1 or HSV-2, HIV, HPV, Hepatitis B, Diabetes, cold sore reach him through Email drabakaspelltemple@gmail.com OR add on whats-app +2349063230051.
