The area infamously known as CHOP continues to be a violent epicenter where a 16-year old boy was killed and another teenage boy aged 14 was wounded on Monday.
CHOP Goes as Expected
Initially known as Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ), the area was renamed CHOP, which stands for Capitol Hill Organized Protest and is comprised of a district in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood where chaos runs rampant.
The surrounding area was taken over by radical protesters who banished law enforcement and have been “self-policing.” For about three weeks, thugs, rioters, and protesters have taken several blacks around the Police Department’s East Precinct and Cal Anderson Park hostage.
Protesters Continue Anarchy
Since the police have left the area, protesters are still up in arms over George Floyd’s death and what they call systemic racial injustice and police brutality.
The latest shooting leads to increased demands for law enforcement to enter back into CHOP and to stop the madness, but protesters decry they won’t leave until they get what they want.
Just a little over a week ago, another teenager was killed by a shooting in the contentious zone. Lorenzo Anderson, 19, was shot on June 20th, the Seattle Times reported.
How Will Chop Be Ultimately Handled?
The latest shooting has brought more attention to the anarchy raising in CHOP and has many Americans wondering how it will ultimately be handled.
Reports indicate that the 16-year-old was confirmed dead and the 14-year-old was in critical condition as of 5:40 a.m. Monday morning. As of Tuesday, the living patient’s status improved to serious condition but was still in intensive care.
“Two African American men are dead, at a place where they claim to be working for Black Lives Matter. But they’re gone, they’re dead now,” police Chief Carmen Best said on Monday.
“We need to be able to get back into the area,” Best continued to say during a news briefing on Capitol Hill. “This is dangerous and unacceptable.”
Footage Shows Shooting
In regards to the latest shooting, surveillance footage revealed the shooting incident that took place. The East Precinct building is shown with a bustling scene in action as gunshots are heard.
“Everyone who’s not armed out here, I need them on the ground,” a voice can be heard yelling.
Shortly after that, more gunshots can be heard and people began to run. A series of a couple more shots happen, and then a vehicle crashes into a barrier. The vehicle then backs up, and several more gunshots are fired. The vehicle then once again crashed and another approximate ten shots occur.
Protesters insist that their actions are not that of violence and that the incident did not involve them.
“The bloodshed you’re talking about has nothing to do with the movement,” Antwan Bolar, 43, who’s camping in a protest zone. “That’s people who would have been doing it in North Seattle or South Seattle anyways — it’s just concentrated here.”
Bolar recanted that he heard several of the gunfire and said: “would have thought it was fireworks if it wasn’t the back-to-back pop-pop-pop.”
When you banish police and use violence as your anthem, what is happening in CHOP is anything but shocking. It is just a matter of how much worse the bloodshed will get at this point.
Well Nancy Pelosi and the DemoRATS now have BLOOD on their hands. Hope your all proud of yourselves. We need to vote the democrat party out since they do no represent the American people they are unpaitriot POS.
Ain’t communism great? Don’t you want to live like that? That is what BLM and ANTIFA and the communist-democrat party are all about. Don’t you just want to run right out and vote for those corrupt idiots?
“Ain’t Communism great” oh yeah that’s why it’s taught in universities as a great ideology, it’s been proven many times over that it works, that this type of government keeps the citizenry productive and happy, take North Korea for instance. after “Dear Leader” finishes speaking he always gets a very hearty applause, while many are brought to crying. I used North Korea as an example because there is a South Korea which is a total opposite. America’s Communist party AKA the Democrat party is desperately trying to shred that old Constitution so they can make America like North Korea, they were making great strides but then president Trump came on the political stage and has hurt their plans, if Hillary Clinton had gotten elected as president America would be right up there with North Korea and China. All is not lost, there is still Biden and his “Useful Idiots”.
The communist dems have made their beds. Now they are finding it hard to sleep in them. Isn’t reality awesome?
Shooters must be Devils because all the protesters are ‘peaceful!’
The aftermath of 8 years of the obama administration! Yet, their mission was not accomplished and we are seeing the final assault on our Republic. They MUST bring America into the clutches of their utopian NWO. The USA will either win this fight for OUR freedoms or we will lose and be sucked into this totalitarian euphoria. I still have faith in my country and will stand and fight to my death, but I will take 1000’s with me to save my country from any kind of take over from a foreign entity! My OATH was taken so many years ago, but holds true to today.
I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed …
God will BLESS America!!!!
