Yeah like I don't know if you realized this, but businesses in the city have been closed since March? For reasons having nothing to do with protests or the CHAZ? Hello?
Also, it is absolutely hilarious that they put up concrete block wall barriers to divide their "country" from the US. Yet, these people are the first ones who would cry about Trump wanting to put a wall up between the US and Mexico. These people seem like children/pitiful.
Wonder what the end result will be here...
Will Trump send in the military? If he does, it will be over and they will clear out quick.
Can’t send in the military. The Left and media would be outraged and claim atrocity.
Funny though, if this group was a white separatist group that did this, the Left would be screaming for the Feds to come in and wipe them out.

Once again, incorrect and irrelevant to the subject of this thread.
The businesses are boarded up due to the riots. Numerous and various forms of barriers are covered with graffiti and worse...many are broken and defaced. Thats the pandemic? sure you bet uh huh.
You see the display of denial. Guess if it's a problem they have to do something about it.
I did forget to say that people are sleeping on city streets all around Chaz. It is the worst thing I've seen in an American city.....even in L.A. it's organized on some level. This is simple failure.
This area is not confined to the six blocks. In all directions N, S, E, W there are additional blocks and blocks of boarded up buildings. All of those have been spray painted on. Sidewalks are damaged and the trees are bare. The area is full of violent people yelling at one another. I was challenged to fight one talk black man screaming at me the usual "come on mf...." I was able to say I was a nurse and he let me into the center of this miserable concoction of slum homeless and the anti social. There are guns, knives and I would surmise more that this. Rather than the summer of love in the Mayors words these degenerates are looking for a fight....any fight.
I was in Sarajevo before the war. it reminded me of this. No snipers as luck would have it.
This is a devastated area. It will take millions of dollars to rebuild. Pikes Place Market is down Pine street and is essentially shuttered.
After being there, seeing with my own eyes, I can report to you that the destruction of this community in about 2 square miles is a foul smelling on your guard area. There is a feeing of threat and danger. It's hard to fathom that it is located is a major city in the United States.
It is tragic and intentional.
So from your experience would I only be allowed in if I first profusely apologized for having been born a white upper middle class female?
Taking pics would have endangered him. He was in there under the disguise of being a nurse. If they saw him taking pics, it would have blown his cover.
Anyway, that was very brave of you AADAD. I hope you were packing some heat, just in case.
No heat. Medic stuff.
