Remember when Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan described the madness that happened in the BLM Seattle CHOP autonomous zone last year as a “summer of love?”
In addition to a lot of damage and other craziness, multiple people were also killed in the zone.
One of those people was 19-year-old Lorenzo Anderson. We reported on how President Donald Trump called and tried to comfort his father, and how insane it was that Durkan hadn’t shut down and cleared out the area.
But now, according to the NY Post, the estate of Lorenzo Anderson has filed suit against the Seattle Police Department, the Seattle Emergency Medical Services, Mayor Jenny Durkan, the Seattle City Council, and the state of Washington alleging that they were all negligent and “breached the duty of reasonable care” when he was shot in the zone in June of last year.
Mother of 19-Year-Old Fatally Shot in Seattle’s ‘No Cop Zone’ Sues City Over Handling of ‘CHOP’
The mother of a young man who was gunned down last summer in Seattle’s autonomous zone, also known as “CHOP” (Capitol Hill Organized Protest) has sued the city for its handling of the zone.
Donnitta Sinclair, the mother of the victim, 19-year-old Horace Lorenzo Anderson, said in a federal civil-rights lawsuit officials’ negligence in allowing law enforcement to abandon the Seattle Police Department’s (SPD) East Precinct and surrounding areas invited “lawlessness and … a foreseeable danger” that contributed to her son getting fatally shot, the Seattle Times reported.
