CHOP Seattle to be retaken -- well, maybe not

Seattle Mayor Jenny Durken Vows to Restore Law and Order to CHOP.  This comes after the shooting death of a 19-year-old male in the area. She says the Police will be back and will retake control of their abandoned precinct office. Let’s see how it goes. This comes after she romanticized the moment: “We could have a summer of love!” ( Examiner ).

Business owners have bemoaned the lawlessness, but there are other victims as well: Besides shootings, the police chief said there have also been reports of rape, assault, burglary, arson and property destruction. “I have the police reports right here,” [Police Chief] Best said, holding up papers. “We cannot walk away from the truth of what is happening there” (ABCNews).

Jonah Goldberg: Seattle’s political leaders have blood on their hands.  Suppose some right wing militia had taken over a similar “zone” with encouragement from GOP officials, this would be obvious to MSM. (Twitter).

Now that they’re told the experiment is over I’m sure all the CHOPpers will just gather their toys and head on back home ….
