Clarification: If I read the story you posted correctly, the mayor wasn’t actually at her house. The city councilwoman who was active in the march may not have known that. The mayor and her family had been moved to a secret site for their own safety.

Seattle mayor slams protesters for showing no 'regard for' her 'safety' as demonstrators circle her home.

A group of protesters marched to the home of Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan on Sunday afternoon, upset that she pledged to dismantle the police-free "Capitol Hill Organized Protest" zone, known as CHOP.

Demonstrators have controlled the six-block area since June 8, saying they will not leave until the city meets a list of demands.

Defunding the local police department by at least 50% is at the top of their list. Over the last several days, multiple instances of shootings, rape, and robbery have been reported inside or near CHOP, local police said.

I call this one "when the summer of love comes to your front yard"

That's what happens when you support lawlessness and not your own communities that put you in office.

Maybe the good citizens of Seattle should protest at the Mayors house and demand she do her job.

Oh no, not in my back yard.

Your right Karma is a bit... she deserves everything that is happening to her. Now the wonderful blues have to protect her. I would take my time getting to her mansion

Meanwhile, several multi million dollar lawsuits have been filed by residents and business in the zone for all the disruption. Guess who pays if city looses?

Mmmm . . . Maybe we should rescind their immunity from prosecution. Let’s hold the mayors and governors of these states responsible for egregious conduct.

Like all Socialists

What a country socialist mayor of Seattle
Complains when the hate mobs she supports
Comes to her $7 million dollar home!
Who says socialism doesn’t pay for the
Politicians in charge.

Isn't this the woman who said that she would not used the police or violence to resolve the issue with CHOP? She was going to negotiate with them to get them to leave.

What happened to that?

Such a shame. You sometimes get what you deserve.

It couldn’t happen to a nicer person.

Has to be one of the dumbest public officials of the first half of the year 2020. What could she have possibly have been thinking or which drug could she possible have been taking to allow the city of Seattle to suffer through such criminal indignity. The only consolation here is that the coffee sippers who elected her got exactly what they deserved.

.........."But!"
All those unwashed people came into our lovely neighborhood!

Hollywood couldn't have written a better script for this

The police chief and the silent majority (coffee sippers?) took far too long to respond.

Maybe there is a lesson for others to be learned.
When the order was finally given to the police to remove the protestors and their fake established encampment, it was done nearly over night......including taking back the abandoned police station......

An example of what should have been done day one.
