Demonstrators remained peaceful, without reports of violence or injuries, but are pushing Mayor Jenny Durkan to step down if she refuses to defund the city's police department.

The protesters continued to camp out in a self-declared “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” (CHAZ)-- a region spanning six blocks and encompassing the precinct-- which has effectively been abandoned by law enforcement after the Seattle Police Department closed the East Precinct on Monday.

Should we tell these ANTIFA losers they're not "autonomous" if they're leaving to buy food, using city water and electricity? lol.
It's the little kids in a tree house in mommy and daddy's backyard with the "no adults" sign. They go in to pee and when they're hungry, and they run their electric cord from their parents house.

Who is backing them?
They've been begging for food already 24 hours in! Vegan please! LMMFAO

This is the participation trophy generation, who's parents have spoiled them and who never had to strive toward anything. Grades or otherwise. They actually believe that this is living independently - sucking off of other's resources and stealing. They have NO clue what independence actually is like. We're now reaping the rewards of an entire generation of uselessness, created by their parents.

From the lack of action, it would appear that the mayor and the governor both back them, at least in ideology. I am sure that someone is financially backing them to some degree, possibly not as much as they need right now. And I'm also sure that will change before long. The longer this goes on without the utilities being shut down, they will continue to stay in their fort they made downtown.

It’s possible to disagree with an article and not respond with a personal attack you know.

We were laughing about this at work. I told them the right way to do this was to pick an area that had a 5 star hotel, a grocery, a liquor store, and a canibis dispensary. Right now those idiots are sleeping on the sidewalk in a tent and begging for food.
