So is it any mystery why these types can't have nice things, like happy wholesome lives filled with riches? They refuse to earn for themselves, instead choosing to confiscate from others. And when they do manage to confiscate from others, they destroy that in which they acquire in short order. Are lefties learning anything from this experiment in insanity???

I disagree- In America we all expect protection from the law and the ability to conduct legal commerce without interference from criminals.

ANTIFA and BLM would prefer to have the nation descend into anarchy and establish rule by feudal warlords.

ANTIFA and BLM are direct threats to the rule of law and western civilization.

You shouldn't expect those things in cities run by the far left like Seattle and Portland.

The video says Minneapolis. Not Seattle. So it can't be Chaz. Still a result of leftists run amok.

That is damage done to the midtown Sheraton in Minneapolis, not CHAZ.

It is a privately owned franchise hotel, the owner's name is Jay Patel. The hotel is located very close to the main riot/arson zone in Minneapolis. Local leftist activist groups pressured the owner to allow local homeless to stay there (for their safety) during the riots, since they were displaced from the streets. The owner stated that the leftist group told him allowing the homeless to stay there would "protect" his hotel from arson, and that the activists would stay to help "manage" things.

The owner felt he was being extorted (I would also) but agreed to allow it to become a temporary homeless shelter.

The leftist activists did not stay on to manage things, and the hotel quickly became overcrowded and dangerous. He allowed it to operate as a homeless shelter for about 15 days before he evicted everybody. The owner was also promised payment, but was not paid.

Mr. Patel had to hire people to forcefully evict everybody on 10 June, after yet another lethal overdose had occurred on his property, and the damage had become too great to overlook (people had started fires in the rooms). He was forced to balance his own liabilities with mass eviction. 200+ people were evicted.

The damage to the hallway in the video was not the limit.

There are photos out there of the lounge and lobby also that were trashed.

Mother Jones wrote this up in their typical utopian left wing way also.

No mention or photos of the hotel damage or the fires that were started in the hotel of course.

Seattle is a nice town I spent a summer there- is it something in the water that caused this change?

He should have just let them burn it down.


I hope he sues the city and the mayor.
