The new state of CHAZ has evolved. Over the past week, following Seattle mayor Jenny Durkan’s decision to abandon the Seattle Police Department’s East Precinct Building, left-wing protesters have transformed the surrounding neighborhood into the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ), hoping to create a new political authority based on social-justice principles. On its first night, the new micro-state was led by the armed paramilitaries of Antifa and the John Brown Gun Club, but after preventing the return of police and securing defined borders, the CHAZ has sought to implement civilian rule.
Almost immediately, activists established a social structure based on a “reverse hierarchy of oppression”:

Chaz, a sovereign nation of Morons and Idiots. Bring out the Gatlin Gun and spray them all for terrorizing the legitimate taxpaying residents.

I hope all of you basement dwelling and daddy's credit card liberals are paying attention. This is a brief preview of what you'll get if these people ever get real power. You all think that you're standing shoulder to shoulder and helping them fight in some great cause and that, by doing so, you are somehow immune to the ramifications. Well, you're not. Get your heads out of your collective behinds and work towards something productive and conservative, because this freak show is anything but.

I truly believe the both the Mayor and Governor does not know what and how to end this. It reminds me of Occupy Wall Street on steroids. I have a feeling that someone is going to get killed and it is not going to end well.

Given how the author describes their social hierarchy, it lays bare the real agenda of the social justice mob: it's not about equality, it's about retribution and punishment. It's about making Whitey pay. This is no different than former British colonies in Africa reverting to local rule, which then descends into death and theft for whites and ascends to kleptocracy and third world banana republic status.

This is what happens when people who have both idolized Karl Marx and been free of responsibility have their way. They are stupid and irresponsible and create a freak show. Murder, rape and torture are soon to visit the people of any area built on greed and envy..

This freak show will only survive for as long as outsiders are willing to donate their own labor and income to feed their faces because it’s obvious none of them have ever had to feed themselves. If any of them ever had actual jobs they don’t have them anymore. Their idea of eliminating capitalism is to live off the backs of others. That strategy has a shelf life that will hit when the media finds a new shiny thing to focus on and moves on.

The first thing I noticed was that the AntiFa enforcer was carrying a dreaded 'assault' style weapon. In a Democrat/liberal utopia that is Seattle, that's a no-no. Extorting money from privileged whites (translation: people who work) by force will only last until there's no more money to take. Their little 'country' has nothing to sell or export, so basic necessities will soon be unobtainable. Will they then be like the Somali pirates, venturing out to rob and pillage?

Send a message to them. Just take an M1-A1 through the barricades at one end right through the center of chaz and out through the barricades on the other. Don't do anything other than the drive through. The clear message is you can not win this battle with your little armed groups.

Jenny Durkan told us it will be 'the summer of love'. Sure Jenny right up until there are some deaths by gunfire within. You'll be asking President Trump to end this instead of insulting him. Take away their Hot Pocket meals and phone chargers and they will shrivel up and quit.

Looking forward to seeing the GDP and per capita incomes of Chaz. Trump should impose a 50% tariff.

For blocking access to delivery vehicles and extortion, DOJ should indict Raz Simone and other leaders under the Hobbs Act, which carries up to 20 years in prison. DOJ should also seek an injunction for violation of the Commerce Clause under In re Debs (a unanimous decision of the Supreme Court allowing precisely that).

Several thoughts, as I read this: The words these children use are straight out of their political science professor’s mouth and textbook. I doubt any of them could actually explain what these convoluted terms actually mean. As foolish as I believe this whole exercise to be, why set yourself up for abuse and enter the Land Of CHAZ, if you are a “Christian provocateur” (whatever that is), or a reporter? What happened to them was predictable, when dealing with fascist animals. Lastly, how many residents of CHAZ (makes me laugh every time I say/write it) have already left? You know there are some.

With a few changes, this article could be a harbinger of 4 or 8 years under a ‘modern’ Democrat president.

I find this experiment fascinating to watch even though it is going to end in bloodshed. Not surprising that they have placed whites at the bottom of the food chain. Given Nature's tendency to keep things in balance, how long before they rebel and attempt to assert themselves to their new masters? The More Equal Pigs at the top will pay with their lives as soon as the others get tired of their abuse. They have already learned that Utopia is not where they are.
The author says it: "Unless a solution can be reached, it’s a strong possibility that this utopian experiment will end in tragedy."
It the Seattle government simply cuts them off from the outside world, they will collapse due to their own helplessness. Right now we see nothing but fools on both sides.
CHAZ = Childrens Half Assed Zoo
CHOP = Communist Habitat Of Pigs

Poor Chaz Bono, Cher's daughter and now son. He/she gets a new country named after him/her and they change the name in a week! Sad. Bummer.
Every book, movie and t.v. show will tell you if a building or area gets taken over, the first thing those in authority do is turn off the electricity! Hello? Then you turn off the water, sewers, jam the cell phones and play loud music on loudspeakers pointed at the held area. At night you fly helicopters over with flood lights and make noise so no one sleeps. Throw stink bombs down from the helicopters.
Surround the area with barbed wire and arrest anyone trying to get out and allow absolutely NO ONE in! They want full independence from the USA then let them choke on it. Give them a week to give up. Might even be less.

What about the FISA Court? Could we use it to figure out who is stirring up trouble? I mean, the Left was worried about Trump people. Would these folks be a legit reason to use FISA?
Also . . . just turn off the power and water. Better yet, shut down cell phone service and Internet connections.

If you want some insight into the people behind Chaz, try looking at Youtube for Monty Python and "People's "Front of Judea", "What have the Romans ever done for us" and the "PFJ union meeting". The satire is outstanding and beautifully stereotypes the current leftist movements.

Seattle has a large statue of Lenin standing proud. They are pioneer Marxists. Let it rain on them.

Since I don't live or work in this liberal city that has embraced this, I don't mind the visual demonstration of the result of liberalism run amok.
It is a cautionary tale for every other city and every other state.
The tourism in Seattle is now dead and buried in the nation of Chaz!
I assume that they will they only get to vote in Chaz, and not in the United States now?

It should be called Democrats take Seattle. Why are Democrats allowed to occupy part of a city.
