Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone

The likelihood is high that while some of the nearby neighbors were legitimately supportive, most were simply willing to act supportive so that nothing bad happened to their property (vandalized, looted or even burned down) or even themselves.

EGGzackly..... and if you irked them, they might expand the zone to include your block.

I think this is also why the media tends to coddle them ---- they know full well these idiots are not above vandalizing their news trucks, or assaulting them, or getting even somehow.

Even MSM reporters and not just those from Fox were often targeted by the Occupy hooligans back when they had their encampments

So is this how crime investigation will be handled by the people once they ban the police?

That's like the guy who showed up at the Pizzagate restaurant and fired a gun inside. At least that guy was willing to give himself up once he realized he was wrong.

Wow. Um......what? That's really a very powerful ... reaction. There MUST be a bad backstory to this.

That was one of the dumbest conspiracy theories I've ever heard of.

Or Floyd Corkins II who, thanks to the Southern Poverty Law Center who proclaimed that the Family Research Council (a mainstream conservative think tank founded by James Dobson) a "hate group" on par with Aryan Nations, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, Stormfront and the Westboro Baptist Church, walked into there Washington D.C. headquarters in 2012 and opened fire. Fortunately only one person was injured.

Corkins, a gay activist who volunteered at a LGBT community center, told the FBI agent interviewing him that he picked the FRC to attack because they were on the SPLC's list of anti-gay "hate groups."

The SPLC strenuously defended their actions because, get this, the FRC takes a political stance that they disagree with. That was enough to earn them being listed as a hate group. Meanwhile groups like Black Lives Matter chant things like "Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon!" and "What do we want? Dead cops!" at their protests but the SPLC sees nothing wrong with that and even say they are merely "activists for racial justice." This is one of the reasons why the SPLC has lost credibility even including among many liberals.



ETA: Sorry, kinda veered off track there.

The point is that in societies that have experienced such breakdowns the rise of vigilantes is almost inevitable.

Same story, different sources:

ABC: Businesses sue Seattle over 'occupied' protest zone

The Hill: Businesses, residents in protest zone sue Seattle

King TV 5 (local NBC affiliate): Capitol Hill businesses sue Seattle over handling of 'CHOP' zone

And then there's this: Billion-dollar investment firm to leave Seattle amid chaos with protesters. I think we'll be seeing much more of this.

More 'peace' broke out last night in CHOP.

Seattle CHOP zone armed 'security' killed black teen driver, 16, and wound 14-year-old passenger when they opened fire on their Jeep as it approached barricades at 3am - but protesters inside cop-free area claim they acted in self-defense

A 16-year-old boy died and a 14-year-old boy was wounded after being shot at Seattle's CHOP zone Monday
Police said they are investigating after witnesses reported seeing a white Jeep SUV near a makeshift barrier around the Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP) zone at about 3am on Monday just before the shooting
Witnesses told 911 dispatchers that they saw several unidentified people firing shots into the Jeep, police say
Both teenagers, who have not been publicly identified, were taken to the Harborview Medical Center in a private vehicle by people who identified themselves as 'CHOP medics'
The older boy died several hours later and police said the 14-year-old remains in a critical condition
Detectives searched the vehicle for evidence on Monday morning but said in a statement that it was clear the crime scene had been 'disturbed'
Demonstrators have occupied several blocks around the Seattle Police Department's East Precinct for about two weeks
Protesters have claimed the shooting unfolded only after the vehicle plowed into the CHOP zone and those inside the car started shooting
Those inside the zone say CHOP security, who are self-appointed and heavily armed, then returned fire

They just shot and killed a black teen. Where is the outrage? The protests? The demonstrators demanding "no justice, no peace" and demanding the removal of the CHOP zone and arrests? Where is the MSM? Why aren't they reporting this? The only people reporting this are smaller news sites and conservative sites. Nothing on CNN, CBS, NBC, etc.

Just show the utter and wicked hypocrisy of the left...

In today's news, the mayor of Seattle is calling for the investigation and expulsion of the City Council's longest serving member. https://www.capitolhillseattle.com/2...-expel-sawant/

I'm not always thrilled about the politics in my state but at least we haven't descended to the level of silliness that Seattle appears to have.
