this has to be the MOST ridiculous effect of all this chaos. Let's see how long that will last.


Reminds me of when watching on TV the series "How the States Got their Shape". It was on a channel like Discovery or something.. So they talked about Utah wanting to secede from the USA so that they could live the way they wanted. this was maybe 100 or 200 years ago.


But that plan was stopped by the US Government who owns Utah and owned it at that time.. the government owns Seattle, and so this wont last long.


Should be interesting to watch this experiment. would it be considered sedition? At the very least - a major child's tantrum.


I don't think it will last long.


however, someone on the news today said, that they might be small now, but they could start this and go across the whole nation and it could happen anywhere.

It’s an “autonomous zone” a Police free area for protesters.

It has already had a name change and is referred to as CHAZ.

No gangs. No violence.


Trump tweeted during Hannity’s show that if the city/ state does not take it back, he will.

You know, the Law and Order guy.

Guess things are gonna get bad when the garbage wont get picked up. and other services they take for granted.


I'm sure there are people who are feeling like they are being held hostage, the ones who live in the neighborhood and are not part of the Antifa.

That's happened for decades. Violent criminal gangs demand their "protection money"-no different with Pantifa. As I said before though, just stop the shipment of tampons into occupied territory. Pantifa will collapse in a day.

Going to be interesting to see how long it takes Pantifa to go door to door stealing from the residents. Given that those same residents didn't lift a finger to protect their neighborhoods, I really don't feel a great deal of sympathy.

This has nothing to do with gangs in the traditional sense.

No violence. No conflict. Just some peaceful protesters smoking joints.

Despite whatever it is Hannity reported, the mayor and governor are aware and seem just fine with peaceful protesters hanging out. It’s probably good for local businesses.

Imagine the far right Proud Boys could turn it into a violent Political confrontation, as they tend to do.

Why is this a good thing?

If you have business there how are you supposed to have goods delivered? If you live there and are being prevented from driving to your house?



Any sympathy from business owners, the people that live and work there isn't going to last very long.
