It took less then 2 days to shutdown chaz/chop once it became politically feasible to do so. As soon as those 2 kids were shot (1 killed) in the jeep by chop's security and the whole thing was caught on surveillance footage [1] it was over. It's hard to watch that footage and come away with "yeah lets keep this exactly the way it is". [1] [VIDEO] - 12th and Pine in Seattle if you want to lookup the area on google maps.

>It's not even in downtown, lmao. "killing and assaulting people". What a joke. Anti-fascist activists murdered an unarmed black kid in the CHOP. They shot him to death with assault rifles. Then they shot and pistol-whipped his critically wounded companion, an unarmed 14-year-old black boy (warning, video is disturbing): [VIDEO] This was one of at least four shootings in the CHOP. Bullets entered the homes of neighborhood residents, a group of whom are now suing the city for neglecting to provide law and order.

Please don't use the passive voice [0] to intentionally obscure a crime's perpetrator. Antonio Mays Jr. was not killed near a protest by a random passerby. He was murdered by armed "anti-fascist" protestors. They shot him in the face with a rifle. It's on camera. The killers audibly confessed to the murder. See this link [1] for the clips, if you must. The footage is disturbing. [0] [LINK] [1] [VIDEO]
