End of CHAZ

The Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) has been reclaimed by the city of Seattle.  Mayor Durkan declined to reclaim the area at the time it was occupied in early June.  After a series of shootings, the mayor still did not reclaim the area.  However, on June 28, the protest came to her house and Councilmember Kshama Sawant was among them.  Well, that changes things.  First, Sawant needs to be rebuked for this breech!  Now that it has impacted the mayor herself rather than merely her subjects... um... the citizens of Capitol Hill, it is time to clean up the area.  And with no help from the state or federal government, the CHAZ is gone.  She could have done this at any time but chose not to.  Across the country, the rioting and looting is happening with the tacit approval of the local governments.  Look where the worst of it is and then check the party affiliation of the mayor.
