===2020 Marxist riots===
For nearly a month, starting in June 2020, the City of Seattle permitted [[anarchist]]s and [[activist]]s to seize six square blocks of the city’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, naming their new enclave the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” (CHAZ) and then the “Capitol Hill Occupied Protest” (CHOP). [[Law enforcement]] and fire fighters were precluded from entering the territory. The Seattle Police Department was ordered to abandon their precinct within the CHOP. Person-related crime in the CHOP increased 525% from the same period of time in the same area the year before, including by Mayor [[Jenny Durkan]]’s own count “two additional homicides, 6 additional robberies, and 16 additional aggravated assaults (to include 2 additional non-fatal shootings).” The CHOP was allowed to stand for nearly a month, during which time two teenagers were shot and killed in the zone. The Seattle City Council, Mayor Jenny Durkan, and Washington Governor [[Jay Inslee]] publicly rejected [[federal]] involvement in law enforcement activities within the city of Seattle.<ref>https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/department-justice-identifies-new-york-city-portland-and-seattle-jurisdictions-permitting</ref>

The City of Seattle paid street artists to restore a Black Lives Matter mural near the former CHOP autonomous zone, in the process funding such messages as “[[ACAB]],” “[[abolish ICE]]”, “abolish capitalism,”“F**k 12” and “100% Antifa,” a line used in the Manifesto written by Michael Reinoehl, the Portland activist who allegedly stalked and murdered a [[Patriot Prayer]] demonstrator in August 2020 before later being killed by federal marshals who were attempting to arrest him.<ref>https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2020/10/09/vote-democrat-and-this-is-what-you-get-3/</ref>
