The
"Occupied Zone" in the Capital Hill district of Seattle is still alive
and semi-well and semi-functional despite the Mayor's assertion several
days ago that it would be disassembled.
The
city did attempt to move in some heavy equipment a couple of days back
to remove the barricades. Denizens of The Zone merely laid down on the
ground in front of the equipment to keep them from moving in. The cops
were nowhere to be seen.
As
far as anybody can tell the Mayor is waiting for all the "members" of
CHOP to die of COVID, dysentery or VD so that The Zone will fall back
into city control by default. Seems to me like the Mayor is attempting
to have her cake and eat it too.
In
the meantime many of the effected residents and property owners are
pursing their lawsuit for damages against the city which was filed on
Friday. In addition these folks are seeking a writ to compel the city
to restore control to The Zone.
