OPINION
It finally happened. Seattle Mayor Jenny Derpkan has ordered police to clear out CHAZ/CHOP. All it took was for the protesters to show up at her house and inconvenience her life for action to be taken. Not so much the lives and inconvenience of the plebeians Mayor Derpkan lords over. Or, like, the multiple homicides. But I guess better late than never. The summer of love is no more.
Seattle police have retaken the East Precinct after clearing out the protest area known as the Capitol Hill Organized Protest, or CHOP, making more than a dozen arrests after Mayor Jenny Durkan declared the gathering an unlawful assembly.
Police issued the order to disperse around 5 a.m. local time Wednesday, telling protesters to leave within eight minutes. At least 13 protesters were arrested for failing to clear the area after multiple warnings, police said.
But now we can see what the summer of love has left us!
The video below shows us the first look at the CHOP zone since the Seattle PD removed the protesters.

The place now looks like LA or San Francisco.
We can clearly say that we gonna need to call in sanitations and much more as this place looks like a third world s*it country.
I’m struggling to understand what exactly they thought they were going to accomplish. Who taught this generation to pitch fits and create destruction to get what you want? I heard there were theft and rapes and we know there were murders committed. Who is being held responsible?!?
