Sure, but it's not like ancoms and BLM protesters invaded a random part of Seattle. From what I gather Capitol Hill is known as a beacon of counterculture in the city... meaning most residents don't have the mindset you might.

Also, if my place is getting burglarized (and here's where the far-left meets the far-right) that's what a firearm is for. What am I calling the police for? For them to show up 30 minutes late and shoot my dog?

I wonder whether the people in seattle think that they're still americans, and still a part of our country? Pretty sure they do. They were let in by a city official, who had the keys, and called for the ouster of a mayor that doesn't seem to think that they're foreign invaders setting up their own state with territorial claims. More like..IDK....

When is the last time you let someone barricade your neighborhood and check everyone going in?

I already live in a country where a road can be barricaded and a man can ask for my papers.  Call me back when they're refusing to let people out.  

Your complaint was disingenuous. People can call the cops, and the cops could march in and bust the whole thing apart. It would be a disastrous move and there's no reason to do it - but I guess it might satisfy the kinds of people who declare any american that doesn't agree with them or their policies a terrorist.

I wonder how much soul searching you'd have had to do if you were around when americans really did take a chunk of another country's sovereign territory and form a state?

I await the stories of cop elections.  

Other than sheriffs in some areas this is news to me.
