The nation of CHAZ/CHOP has finally been retaken by Seattle police, after left-wing protesters going to the house of Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan spurred the city into action.
Reporter Andy Ngo noted that police were able to retake the land in only minutes, and the anarchists did not put up much if any resistance. This raises questions of why police did not retake the zone weeks ago.

Tons of trash and junk remain on the streets of CHAZ. Despite promises to hold the territory by any means necessary, protesters didn’t put up much resistance this morning. CHAZ was retaken by police in a matter of minutes.

Durkan issued an executive order on Tuesday regarding the “reported life safety, public health and property issues” that has resulted from the constant mayhem within the CHAZ/CHOP. At least 13 people were arrested while police were retaking the area.
“Due to ongoing violence and public safety issues in the East Precinct/Cal Anderson Park area, Mayor Jenny Durkan has issued an executive order to vacate the area. Seattle police will be in the area this morning enforcing the Mayor’s order,” the Seattle Police Department wrote in a tweet.
“Commanders have issued a dispersal order in accordance with the Mayor’s emergency order. All protesters are being asked to leave the immediate area within eight minutes. Safe exit is to the South and West,” law enforcement said.
“This order, and our police response, comes after weeks of violence in and around the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest zone, including four shootings, resulting in multiple injuries and the deaths of two teenagers,” Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best said in a statement.
Before the left-wing mob came to her door, Durkan had no problem with allowing CHAZ/CHOP to fester. The death and destruction happened on her watch, and she had no problem allowing it to happen until it personally affected her safety.
Big League Politics has reported on Durkan’s campaign against socialist City Councilwoman Kshama Sawant for agitating against the Mayor:
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan is demanding that socialist City Councilwoman Kshama Sawant be punished for her leftist agitation that has put Durkan’s personal safety at risk.
“Policy disagreements do not justify a Councilmember who potentially uses their position in violation of law or who recklessly undermines the safety of others, all for political theatre,” Durkan wrote in her letter to city council…
Durkan changed her tune only after Sawant took the mob to her doorstep on Sunday afternoon. Durkan did not seem to care when the little people were being targeted, but certainly cares now that she realizes she is not immune to the leftist terror rampage.
“We came down to Jenny Durkan’s mansion to bring the demands of the movement and of the families who have been impacted by police violence to her doorstep as she seems to not be able to hear our demands any other way,” a demonstrator said at Durkan’s home.
The liberal paradise of Seattle is going up in flames, and Democrat leadership is responsible.
