President Trump took to Twitter on Wednesday night to say that he would take Seattle back from the “ugly anarchists” who have taken control of a six block section of Seattle if city and state leaders did not act.
“Radical Left Governor @JayInslee and the Mayor of Seattle are being taunted and played at a level that our great Country has never seen before. Take back your city NOW,” Trump posted. “If you don’t do it, I will. This is not a game. These ugly Anarchists must be stooped IMMEDIATELY. MOVE FAST!”

President Trump is right.
Anarchists have taken control of a portion of an American city and if local leaders do not fix the situation the President would be right to invoke the insurrection act and take control of the situation.
Jenny Durkin, the communist mayor of Seattle responded by mocking the President tweeting “Make us all safe. Go back to your bunker. #BlackLivesMatter”

This comes after the first recorded case of police brutality in the “Capitol Hill autonomous zone” as HotAir reports:
Earlier today Allahpundit wrote about the so-called Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) which was set up in Seattle after police retreated from a few square blocks. The denizens of this new experiment in police-free living were probably envisioning a utopia full of peace and community love. Instead they got a new self-appointed police force led by a rapper named Raz Simone.
Early this morning someone posted a video clip to Reddit which shows Simone and a group of people confronting a graffiti artist. Things escalate and eventually the tagger is assaulted by someone in the group and has his phone taken away. The video is about an hour long but here’s a summary created by someone in the Reddit thread:
tl;dw: Man was tagging over someone else’s art, Raz and group approach and separate him from crowd, chasing him for two blocks. He begins to film them with his phone, they take it from him. He tries to get it back and they attack him, kicking him in the head and breaking his glasses. At one point, Raz threatens to shoot the man. They then begin to gaslight him that it was all his fault. Audio only for most of the end, because woman in Raz’ crew filming puts the phone in her pocket while the stream continues.

If local authorities do not fix this situation immediately we support the President invoking the insurrection act and sending in troops to end the “occupation.”
