Democrats keep trying to negotiate with left-wing terrorist groups. To no one’s surprise, they have not had any luck. A lot of times, the left-wing’s ineptitude is hilarious. But this time, it’s not funny, because people are dying.

In Seattle:

A spokesperson for Mayor Jenny Durkan’s office said there’s no change in the city’s plans to remove what is known as “CHOP.”

They are still using black community leaders to negotiation a peaceful end to CHOP.

One of those leaders said he’s still trying to find all the CHOP leaders.

“City leadership have been on the ground daily having discussions with demonstrators, residents and businesses and trusted community-based, black-led organizations to determine a path forward that protects the right to peacefully protest and keeps people safe,” Durkan’s office said Wednesday.

This has been Durkan’s response since Moday after she asked protesters to, “go home.”

Durkan has relied on go-betweens to speak with protesters about an end of CHOP. People like police reform activist Andre Taylor. [KOMO News]

Those “negotiations” did not end well.

Second deadly shooting prompts louder calls to dismantle Seattle protest zone

A teenager is dead, a second injured and their jeep is riddled with bullets inside the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest zone, aka CHOP zone.

The latest shooting at the CHOP zone claimed the life of a 16-year-old male, and left a 14-year-old critically injured.

Tonight, the father of another teenager shot and killed there last week says the CHOP zone must go. [KIRO 7]

Seattle’s CHOP was finally dismantled by force.

After weeks of an occupation that has taken over the Capitol Hill area of Seattle, Seattle Police have moved in to clear the area. This comes after shootings, deaths, assaults on reporters, violence, and general mayhem. [The Post Millennial]

In Atlanta, failed Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms has been trying to “negotiate” with violent and lawless left-wing terrorists who are occupying a Wendy’s parking lot.

The uptick in shootings that have plagued Atlanta for the last month continues unabated. On Sunday night, it claimed the life of 8-year-old Secoriea Turner because she was in a car doing a U-turn to avoid the infamous Wendy’s that armed protestors declared as a shrine to Rayshard Brooks.

Atlanta’s CHOP

“Protestors” have alternately erected barricades around the charred fast-food restaurant in recent weeks, and the police have been clearing them. The protestors placed the barriers again Saturday night. Effectively, Atlanta has a mini-CHOP. And just like in Seattle, city leaders have been negotiating with these “protestors.” [PJ Media]

But now, a little girl is dead, and three more have been shot, all because Mayor Bottoms negotiated with terrorists rather than sending in the riot police.

But one hour after the press conference with the mayor and the parents, there was another shooting, this time a triple shooting, with one man dead and two others wounded feet from where the little girl was shot. [RedState]

This is just the tip of the iceberg, as far as the lawlessness, violence, and crime is concerned. The Daily Mail has more:

Two bullet-ridden bodies lay sprawled on bloodstained concrete steps. Alongside, relatives of the victims are wailing and collapse to the ground. In another part of the city, a gang of youths use spray paint to disable security cameras before robbing a corner store. Later, video footage captures police officers sitting helplessly in their patrol car as a baying crowd hurls glass bottles at them.

This is lawless New York – a city that was once America’s glittering crown jewel but which risks descending into mob rule.

Murder figures have skyrocketed and a combination of the coronavirus pandemic, Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests and weak political leadership is in danger of achieving what Osama Bin Laden never could: bringing the Big Apple to its knees. [Daily Mail]

America cannot afford any more “negotiations” and dithering. The time for action is now. To the extent that President Trump and Attorney General Barr can intervene in any of these scenarios, they need to do it with the full force of the law. Lawless mayors who refuse to protect American citizens should be arrested for dereliction of duty and criminal neglect, and they should also be sued in civil court.
