The police were completely kicked out of a six block area of downtown Seattle, and armed guards were posted at all the entrances to the “Capital Hill Autonomous Zone” in order to make sure that their “utopia” would not be interrupted.
At first, people were dancing and singing in the streets, free food was being passed out to everyone, gardens were being started, and free movies were being played at night under the stars. It was such a glorious beginning for “CHAZ”, but within hours major problems began to develop.
The protesters wanted to show everyone how compassionate they could be, and so they invited Seattle’s homeless population to share their free food. Well, it turns out that the homeless people grabbed more of the food than they should have, and that created quite a crisis…
Yes, she was being quite serious. If you live near CHAZ and you have extra “vegan meat substitutes, fruits, oats, soy products, etc.” laying around, there are some really hungry radicals that would really appreciate the help. But please don’t bring them anything that has been heavily processed because that will just make them angry, and if you try to give them anything that contains real meat that could potentially set off a riot.
In addition to a looming food shortage, residents of CHAZ are also dealing with a leadership crisis. Now that all the police are gone, it was just a matter of time before someone else took charge, and the person that has taken charge is a “heavily-armed” rapper named Raz Simone.
Seattle’s new “autonomous zone” – a six-block area established by protesters after the police and National Guard pulled out of city’s Capitol Hill neighborhood – now has a ‘heavily-armed’ warlord, and he’s already enforcing his streets.
Somehow Simone was able to get his hands on an AK-47, and even though we keep being told that these are “peaceful protests”, Simone has told those under his command that what they are facing “is war”…
Simone, a local black rapper with an AK-47 slung from his shoulder and a pistol attached to his hip, screamed, “This is war!” into a white-and-red megaphone and instructed armed paramilitaries to guard the barricades in shifts.
Before this stunt, hardly anyone had ever heard of Raz Simone, and I suppose that this is one way to make a name for yourself and sell a lot of records. Ian Miles Cheong tweeted: "A SoundCloud rapper becoming the warlord in an Antifa insurgency-controlled autonomous zone in Seattle is proof we live in a simulation."
At first, Washington Governor Jay Inslee insisted that he didn’t even know that activists had taken over a large section of downtown Seattle. Later on, he changed his tune, and now he is saying that he is hoping for a peaceful resolution. And hopefully that is precisely what we will see, but for now the protesters appear to be determined to dig in for the long haul.
Needless to say, President Trump is not amused by any of this. In fact, he is warning that if local officials do not shut down CHAZ, he will do it himself. President Trump issued a demand for Democratic controlled Seattle to be brought back under order immediately, as Antifa anarchists claimed control of a six-block zone and a police station.
“Radical Left Governor [of Washington, Jay Inslee] and the Mayor of Seattle are being taunted and played at a level that our great Country has never seen before,” Trump tweeted late on Wednesday. “Take back your city NOW. If you don’t do it, I will. This is not a game. These ugly Anarchists must be stooped [sic] IMMEDIATELY. MOVE FAST!’” he continued.
It is hard to believe that this is actually happening in America. Seattle Police Chief Carmen Greatest told reporters on Thursday the “rapes, robberies, all kinds of violent actions” are happening within the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ), the anarchist autonomous zone, in Seattle City. This was about exactly the same day Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan called the anarchist takeover of a six-block part of Seattle”patriotism.”
