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] ▶ this 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): ▶ this 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] ▶ this video
You are probably referring to a separate shooting death in CHOP, that of Lorenzo Anderson. I am referring to the murder of Antonio Mays Jr. by antifa security. This murder was filmed from multiple angles and recordings are widely available. Short clips from several of the vantage points (skip to roughly 1:40 - warning, disturbing): ▶ this video
