I knew that Pantifa controlled Seattle

Much like they control Portland.  They pull the strings, and the politicians dance.  But now they've gone from being the power behind the throne to occupying the throne outright.

Just as the Islamic State (ISIS) claimed territory in Iraq and Syria, antifa militants have claimed territory in Seattle, Wash. According to reports on the ground from The Post Millennial’s Andy Ngo and Townhall’s Julio Rosas, protesters and antifa instigators have seized land in the Capitol Hill area around the Seattle Police East Precinct. Like ISIS, the rioters appear to have decided on setting up a government in their occupied territory, naming it “Free Capitol Hill.”

This is the same area that was represented by Baghdad Jim McDermott, just for a frame of reference.  Back when I lived in the Seattle area, Capitol Hill and First Hill were nicknamed "Pill Hill" for the prevalence of tweakers and various other drug users who populated the area.  This is the area who screamed and cried about cops arresting "peaceful" druggies in the parks.  They demanded that the cops stop arresting those poor addicts.  The cops did so, and then the people began screaming and yelling about the used needles in the parks, and why didn't the cops do anything about that?

If Capitol Hill were a person, it would be a crackhead with multiple personality disorder.

Pantifa owns it now.  Personally, I hope Pantifa keeps it.  Seattle deserves what is coming.  Build a wall around the city to keep any more Leftists from escaping it.

Peter Grant points out that Seattle has completely abandoned the rule of law.

In a properly administered state, the Governor and/or state authorities would have intervened long since to protect and uphold the rule of law, and ensure equality before the law for all citizens of the city.  That's unlikely to happen in Washington, where left-wing progressive politics dominate the state government.  The powers that be will adopt a snooty, high-toned, morally bankrupt perspective on the whole thing, and abdicate their responsibilities.

He has plenty of other thoughts which are worth reading.
