Special to The Seattle Times Two weeks ago I wrote about the extinction-level event facing Seattle small businesses, not just because of the pandemic but because of City Hall's tolerance of crime. It produced the largest response of any column I've ever written, 99.9% in agreement. It was a nerve that needed to be touched. But I was surprised by the number of readers who took the leap to predict that Seattle would become "another Detroit." A few others predicted our fate was to be Cleveland or Buffalo. This destiny is not within the misguided and injurious powers of today's city political elite, however. Backlashes and elections happen. Detroit faced an unusual set of calamities to become synonymous with urban decline. Even Seattle's missteps won't compare. For a start, consider the current differences: Detroit suffered 275 murders last year amid the highest level of violent crime in the nation. By contrast, Seattle hit 28 murders, although the number is rising higher this year. #ALBUMSSTILLMATTER

Authorities say the officer was looking for a suspect reportedly carrying a burning piece of wood in the South Lake Union neighborhood. When the officer confronted him, the suspect allegedly threw the burning wood into the police car while the officer was still inside and fled on foot. Other officers chased him into a parking garage, where they tased him and took him into custody, police said. "He lunged in, he ran, and the driver's seat was already in flames. I thought the officer was still in the car, the driver's seat was on fire and then within minutes the car was engulfed in flames," a witness said told CNN affiliate KIRO. As officers were arresting the suspect, the flames from the burning wood engulfed the patrol vehicle, police said. Seattle police say one officer was taken to the hospital. Assistant Chief Deanna Nollette told KIRO his injuries were minor, "some minor burn wounds." Neither the suspect nor the injured officer have been identified. Aerial video from KIRO shows the police car gutted by the fire, with scorched paint and some external plastic components melted on the roof. The partially burned piece of wood is also visible hanging from the front driver's side door. One of the officers is believed to have discharged a firearm during the incident, but the suspect was not hit. #ALBUMSSTILLMATTER

Business in former CHOP says 4 months later, area still not back to normalThe Richmark Label building during the days of the CHOP. (Nicole Jennings/KIRO Radio)
Nearly four months after the occupation known as the CHOP, a Capitol Hill business owner says his neighborhood has calmed down — but things still aren’t back to normal. Richmark Label owner Bill Donner, whose business has stood on Pine Street across from Cal Anderson Park since the 1970s, said protests and violence have quieted down … but so has business. “All in all, it has been calmer, no disruption for us, doors are open, but not much activity on the Hill still,” he said. “Most places are boarded up, some have opened a little bit … it’s got sort of a ghost town feel up here now.”...

A Victory over Antifa in Portland? Mayor Claims Win Over Far-Left Rival . Mayor Ted Wheeler declared victory Tuesday night in Portland's mayoral race over his far-left challenger Sarah Iannarone, a political newcomer who declared "I am Antifa" during her campaign to unseat the embattled mayor
"I want to thank the voters of Portland for the opportunity to continue serving as their mayor," Wheeler said during a press call Tuesday evening as he maintained a healthy lead of about 20,000 votes over the course of the evening, which ended with 90 percent of the vote counted. Load Error The 58-year-old Democratic mayor commended Iannarone and her supporters, who he said have "passionately pushed forward important ideas." The Associated Press has not yet officially called the race for either candidate. If Wheeler holds onto his lead in the mayoral race until it is called, he will become the first incumbent candidate to win a second term as mayor of Portland in two decades. "We're going to need to come together as never before to address short-term issues and the long-term changes and investments needed to rebuild our economy, rebuild confidence in law enforcement and restore hope for our future," he said. Iannarone, 47, gained support among progressives who were galvanized against Portland Police's response to months of protests downtown, which have devolved into violence almost every night since late May when George Floyd died at the hands of Minneapolis police. She previously allied herself with Antifa, the anti-fascist far-left group whose members have been a mainstay of the riots in Portland since the spring. "To those who say Antifa are violent thugs: I am not a violent thug and I am Antifa," Iannarone said on Twitter in January of last year. She added that "I am Antifa" because the "Red Hats," presumably a reference to Trump supporters, are "coming after brown & black people" and want to "exterminate" Jewish people, transgender people, and women's rights. Progressive protesters along with members of Antifa clashed often with police, and in late August, police declared a riot after about 200 demonstrators marched on the mayor's residence to demand that he resign. Rioters broke windows and attempted to set a store on the ground floor of the Democratic mayor's condominium building on fire. The next month, Wheeler announced that he planned to move out of his apartment building due to repeated protests outside his home. Demonstrators who remained on the streets after dark engaged in property destruction, throwing rocks at police, marking buildings with graffiti, and briefly set a courthouse on fire over the summer. Earlier in August, a pro-Trump demonstrator was shot and killed during clashes between Black Lives Matter protesters and a caravan of Trump supporters who drove trucks through the downtown streets. The suspect declared his allegiance to Antifa on social media before the incident.

Oregon Activates National Guard After Election-Related Violence in Portland . Oregon Gov. Kate Brown has activated the state National Guard to support local police officers after protests in Portland apparently linked to the recent presidential election became violent, local authorities say. The Guard forces returned to standby status as of Thursday morning, though the state's Democratic governor extended an executive order keeping the Guard on standby through Friday, Guard spokesman Maj. Stephen Bomar says in an email. Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell said in a video statement early Thursday that a group of protesters assembled downtown and began engaging in "widespread violent behavior, such as destruction of property, smashing of ATMs and shattering of windows to many businesses and intimidating behavior." "This prompted an unlawful assembly and later a riot declaration as their criminal behavior escalated," Lovell said... #ALBUMSSTILLMATTER
