Actually, not wanting to rehash bad memories, but I specifically remember that LewDan accused CW of being racist because CW allowed my so-called "racist" comments..

Yes, that IS the same thing as name-calling and cursing him out...

I remember it specifically because I knew at that moment that I had won and LewDan had lost..

you're the resident expert researcher - am i wrong about this?

Seattle CHOP zone prompts lawsuit from businesses, residents: reports

Numerous Seattle businesses – including an auto repair shop, a tattoo parlor and a property management company – sued the city Wednesday, alleging city officials were complicit in allowing an “occupied protest” that has made them feel unsafe in their neighborhood, according to reports.

Workers and residents also joined the lawsuit over CHOP, the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest, which drew scorn from President Trump and other critics who accused Mayor Jenny Durkan, the city’s police chief and other city leaders of turning the area over to “anarchists.”

Organizers of CHOP -- part of the widespread rioting and demonstrations that followed the May 25 death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis -- said they sought to establish a “police-free” area in Seattle’s Capitol Hill district.
