Seattle PAYS $30 MILLION for CHOP — Jury BLASTS City Over Teen’s Death

from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds

Seattle's 'Summer of Love' just cost taxpayers $30 million. Remember when the city abandoned a police precinct, created a no-cop zone, and Mayor Jenny Durkan thought CHOP would be a beautiful experiment in progressive utopia? Well, 16-year-old Antonio Mays Jr. paid for that genius with his life. The jury agreed: the city was negligent, barricades blocked emergency services, and it took FIVE HOURS for police to reach an active shooting scene because leadership decided cops were the problem. Two teenagers dead, multiple assaults, and a completely contaminated crime scene later—has anyone in city leadership apologized or faced consequences? Of course not. They'll just pass the bill to Seattle taxpayers who voted for this insanity in the first place. This is what happens when woke ideology meets reality: preventable tragedy and zero accountability from the officials who championed it. Should cities be held liable when their policies directly lead to deaths? What happens when virtue signaling costs lives? Drop your thoughts below, and if you're tired of watching cities repeat the same disasters, subscribe and hit that notification bell.
