I think the protestors will get bored of no food or some sort of bs. and they will all leave soon. They have nobody to fight against right now.
their own BS will get in the way, and they will have to leave

Man I bought a giant bag of popcorn, I believe this shit is going to entertain me for a while.

Those dudes are not going to leave on their own account. The only way is wait till they've all died from overdoses cuz I don't see your authorities stepping in to restore law and order. Do you?

Yes i do think they will eventually step in and control this.. This is a short term idiot parade.
Exactly how it will end is unknown.. it will have to be corrected as pressure mounts.
It should not of been allowed to happen in the first place

I hope not. The longer this goes on, the more memes we will get out of this. :D

I was going to joke that CHAZ's occupants/sovereign citizen will probably leave once the local shelter-in-place/quarantine orders start to expire, but who am I kidding? These people don't have jobs.

I'm guessing that most of the "citizens" of CHAZ are not actually living there, but are rather just extending the local protests into the area during the daytime. I have seen some tents there, and I'm guessing the area has been or will be flooded by the houseless, who will undoubtedly take advantage of the free food and resources upon its intermittent availability.

Thus, I see CHAZ as a non-issue, not requiring the military or police intervention that Trump has suggested. Certainly, there is violence and causes for concern that the Seattle police chief has raised (rape, theft, etc), but I think this 'block party' will die out organically as the music (and more importantly the food supply) stops.

I love how right wing news outlets are describing this versus how people in Seattle are describing this.

Anyway it always surprises me that people will continually turn on Fox news have their intelligence insulted.

all these guys crying CNN should be blasting FOX right now.. their version and what the actual shit show is like completely different.

The southern part of the area looks like 1000 other college areas. Bars, cafes, little eating places, and a big park.
I'm kind of surprised People's Park in Berkley, CA hasn't done this as well. I bet they're pissed off they didn't think of it first.

It looks like the autonomous zone setup in seattle that is free of law and order now has a problem with gangs that are assaulting people

How do our resident anarchists propose the stateless people of chaz deal with this new threat 🤔

https://spectator.us/defense-chaz-capitol-hill-autonomous-zone-seattle/

It is easy to laugh at the young people who have built the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) in Seattle. A group of anarchists and leftists collected in Capitol Hill, known for its hipster and LGBT scenes, they have barricaded themselves into a small area and established an anarchic intentional community, modeled, perhaps, on the work of Hakim Bey — known for his endorsement of ‘temporary autonomous zones’. Bey is also known because of unfortunate links to the pederast group the North American Man/Boy Love Association, but let’s leave that aside for now.

Seattle’s aspiring revolutionaries had only just announced the creation of CHAZ, as a place in which progressives can live free of corporate consumerism and police violence, when a local rapper-cum-warlord named Raz Simone began stalking the place with an armed militia. ‘Raz needs to go seriously,’ announces the opening post on a thread of the Capital Hill Autonomous Zone subreddit, instantly raising the difficult question of how communities which spurn the concept of policing can deal with troublesome members.
...

One reporter reached out to Raz for comments whereupon Raz proclaimed himself a peaceful man moments before assaulting the journalist

Well who saw that coming also let them roast.

The people of Seattle would run those people the fuck out of they were or become a problem. They're a small group. There are just way more normal people out there. And normal Americans are armed thank sweet baby jesus.

I'm gonna go out and roto till my flower beds in my own autonomous zone. Will be a nice disconnect from the hospital.

Nobody is in the hospital at this point, its so weird.

Haight Ashbury all over.

This all looks a lot like the late 60s. Have a Nixon like president, massive leftish street protests legitly challenging authority, young people vs geriatric people with many smaller insignificant generations between...
