Open Carry | Washington Gun Law

You don’t need a permit to open carry in Washington state. Police left on their own and the station is still staffed. Enough to be upset about without exaggerating.

Did the police leave on their own..just one day decided to abandon the station? Right...Open Carry | Washington Gun Law

She blamed “the city” for giving in to “severe public pressure” for the decision to pull out of the East Precinct building.

Sounds to me like the city did.
Is the city the protesters?
You do not need a permit to open carry. You have no idea if the people carrying are carrying their own guns or not. But you don’t need to own a gun to be in possession of one. You just can’t have a felony. Were the criminal records of everyone seen holding a gun posted somewhere?
the police were not forcibly escorted. That was a decision made by the police or by the city. as I said there is enough to be upset about without exaggerating.

The police chief says she didn’t want to go but that wasn’t her choice..so the city made that choice..and let the protesters take it over..and the city around it and hold it..so I would say that the police chief wanted to keep holding down the fort and deal with the protesters.
Is the City the protesters?
Are rocks worse then tear gas, pepper spray and rubber bullets? Where did we get these credible threats of arson? From the fbi? The same fbi I’ve seen conservatives previously accuse of being agents of the deep state/liberal agenda? How can you trust reports of threats from an agent of the deep state in one instance but dismiss reports of white supremacist infiltration in the protests and Russian interference in the election from the same FBI elsewhere because they are “deep state”? Can you guys just make up your minds because the process being used to accept and reject information is so illogical it’s impossible to keep up.
as I said earlier... they should and will be dealt with. But you don’t need to exaggerate what’s actually going on.
how do you know they were random people? How do you know they don’t have gun permits or haven’t had a background check? Where is your proof of this?
I don't see how it matters either way. Do I really need a permit for a .22 to hunt rabbits? Fuck state-ism.
Last I checked no one has ever asked a single second amendment protester (including the stay hoMe protesters All over the country recently) to show their firearms paperwork or permits. So I agree

-.- ... not unless, you have damned good reason, that is-> hunting, fishing, target practice, etc., or while you are traveling to those activities. You can also open carry if you're just hanging out at home. Odd, considering there are no other restrictions and the stand your ground law. Concealed carry is also an option though it does require a permit.
BUT it is permitted almost everywhere else, in case anyone didn't know this... excellent point, Jess.
As for the rest-- the Seattle government enabled this takeover-- at least that is my understanding. And what an interesting state of affairs-- Libs with guns! No wonder there isn't much coverage.
Soo... why is this really being permitted to continue? How does this madness benefit the government?
De-escalation?

Move along..nothing to see here..your government at work.
Man is killed and a 14-year-old boy is wounded after gunmen fired into their Jeep at Seattle's CHOP zone - as protesters claim those inside the vehicle opened fire first and police say the crime scene has been 'disturbed'
The city of Seattle and Mayor Jenny Durkan made efforts to dismantle the CHOP last week.
Officials were forced to back away from the plans when a protester laid down in the street to block Seattle Department of Transportation crews and heavy machinery from removing barricades around the occupied zone.
Since then, negotiations between city leadership and organizers have broken down and hundreds of protesters have said they will refuse to leave the area until their demands have been met.
The encampment has become more difficult to manage, drawing violence and a large homeless population since the onset of the occupation three weeks ago.

Police had abandoned the precinct following clashes with protesters. But by Tuesday morning crews were working to pull down the barriers.

And a council member led them to her house..haha!Seattle Mayor defends CHOP until they show up at her house.
Seattle Mayor Defended Activists In ‘CHOP’ Zone As Having ‘Summer Of Love’; Then They Came To Her House
Seattle Democratic Mayor Jenny Durkan previously defended the left-wing activists who camped out in a so-called “autonomous zone” for a couple of weeks, saying that they were having a “summer of love.” Durkan’s rhetoric about the activists, including a councilwoman who’s helping lead them...www.dailywire.com
“Seattle can and should peacefully demonstrate but should not put families and children at risk,” Mayor Durkan said Sunday night in a statement reacting to the protesters’ visit to her home, adding that Councilmember Sawant led the group to her home “without regard for the safety of the Mayor and her family”
“Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant joined a large group of protesters outside the CHOP zone who marched to Durkan’s house on Sunday afternoon,” local NBC affiliate KING-TV reports.
Three people have died since Mayor Durkan declared the CHOP occupation a “summer of love” – but, now that the protest has come to her home, Durkan believes the movement has gone too far, PJ Media writes in reaction to the mayor’s comments:
“So it’s fine with Mayor Durkan if you are subjected to threats and have your free speech and other constitutional rights violated for days and weeks on end. She has allowed this condition to fester for thousands of Seattle residents.
“But show up to protest on her doorstep? That’s going too far.”
SOOOO TYPICAL. Citizens have been living under domestic terrorism (CHOP) for weeks and weeks and the Democrat Mayor laughs it off. Until they come for her, of course, and now is CHOP being dismantled as a result.
Hypocrisy.
But when it happens to people in a six block area it’s the summer of love?
Seems serious! From the Article:
Using her official position to lead a march to my home, despite the fact that it was publicly known I was not there, and she and organizers knew that my address was protected under the state confidentiality program because of threats against me due largely to my work as U.S. Attorney. All of us have joined hundreds of demonstrations across the City, but Councilmember Sawant and her followers chose to do so with reckless disregard of the safety of my family and children. In addition, during or after Councilmember Sawant’s speech at that rally, her followers vandalized my home by spray-painting obscenities
