CHAZ/CHOP: Autonomous No Cop Zone and Commune Declared In Seattle - Render unto Warlord Raz what is owed to Warlord Raz

[A Logging Company]

Yesterday, with the help of National Guard, Seattle police evacuated the East Police Precinct (a), located in the Capital Hill neighborhood of Seattle. This has been the site or most of the constant BLM protests in the city. For those who aren't aware, Capital Hill is the most leftist part of Seattle, which itself is one of the most leftist cities in the country. Imagine if Tumblr was made real.

Protesters have barricaded the area around the police station, and declared the "Capital Hill Autonomous Zone", or "CHAZ" (a) for short. So far, they have expanded the barricades, and are protesting inside city hall tonight (a).

They have come out with a long laundry list of demands for the city, state, and federal government (archive).

Here are some maps.

Some photos from inside the zone.

While this all comes off as a colossal LARP (just yesterday, they were screaming for police when someone with a gun accidentally came in), it looks like they are hunkering down just like #Occupy. I'm starting a thread in Happenings, since this is going to be a hotbed of now declared terrorists and could get out of hand very fast. Already hearing stories of people being threatened with knives for taking photos.

I'll try to keep this OP updated and major news comes in.

**UPDATE**: Orange Man in Chief is weighing in on the situation, mocking the local and state government, and sending a clear message that if they don't do anything about it, he will sending in military forces. What was looking like a lame #OccupyWallstreet repeat just escalated to a level 3 to level 4 happening.

The founder(? not sure how the hierarchy works in this situation) is a troon and threatened suicide when he was accused of being an abuser.

I looked at the seattle subreddits. Most of them are in support of this. WHY

 

[NIGGER ASS PEE POOPY RAPE]

could this be, the birth of ancapistan?

 

[TV's Adam West]

So all the pond scum is in one place?

Rip and tear, until it is done.

 

[Hux]

Their main leader (troon of course) got ousted as a sexpest abuser, leading to him to step down, they went from a bartering system with cigs and toilet paper at first until they reached out on social media for actual cash donations
All in less than a day

Meanwhile, the prominent contributors to antifa are just now openly getting disappeared off the streets by feds in unmarked vehicles as we speak, so we know exactly what awaits them when this whole thing inevitably collapses

I'm gonna die of the fucking butter from all the popcorn I've been eating since all this shit kicked off starting to clog my arteries in less than a week or two at this rate, but at least that should be enough time to watch this shit implode in on itself

Trump is probably aware of what's going on. He's just sitting back and watching. Knowing how the last few weeks have been, CHAZ will probably burn out after a week. Betting Jay Inslee and Seattle's mayor are getting a call from Trump tomorrow morning.

There's a lot of infighting (or seems like there will be). Hell, they can't even decide if they want to open businesses or not.

The main learder is also 18. more info here: https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/261985642

Reddit is pretty pro-communism. Thanks to astroturffing by ShareBlue, mods that ban wrongthink, and non-political / right wing users staying silent to not get harassed , getting ran off the site, or just not posting on their cities subreddit.

Fucking lol, bartering with cigs and toilet paper? It's hilarious that the first thing these dumbasses do is emulate the economic system that prisoners use to get toilet wine and buttsex. Are they gonna start tatting themselves using pen ink mixed with piss next?

 

[Terrifik]

Does the Optics look good for Republicans or we are not using optics waiting till we trump loses the election to reestablish order. They know this is push for a food desert in that area and I repeat no wants a food Desert .

 

[CivilianOfTheFandomWars]

So, who here wants to lay siege to and/or invade CHAZ with me?

 

[Spamy the Bot]

At least in the 90s you would get Waco'd for pranks like this.

 

[JimmyNugget]

I would wait till night and expand into the park. See how much you can get away with.

Because it's Reddit, obviously...

 

[Rei is shit]

Any bets on how long until the first murder?

3 days

So, who here wants to lay siege to and/or invade CHAZ with me?

Why do that when it's more entertaining to watch them implode in a civil war 2.5?

3 days

More like 3 hours.

They posted their list of demands a few hours ago:

Spoiler: List of Demands

Given the historical moment, we’ll begin with our demands pertaining to the Justice System.

1. The Seattle Police Department and attached court system are beyond reform. We do not request reform, we demand abolition. We demand that the Seattle Council and the Mayor defund and abolish the Seattle Police Department and the attached Criminal Justice Apparatus. This means 100% of funding, including existing pensions for Seattle Police. At an equal level of priority we also demand that the city disallow the operations of ICE in the city of Seattle.
2. In the transitionary period between now and the dismantlement of the Seattle Police Department, we demand that the use of armed force be banned entirely. No guns, no batons, no riot shields, no chemical weapons, especially against those exercising their First Amendment right as Americans to protest.
3. We demand an end to the school-to-prison pipeline and the abolition of youth jails. Get kids out of prison, get cops out of schools. We also demand that the new youth prison being built in Seattle currently be repurposed.
4. We demand that not the City government, nor the State government, but that the Federal government launch a full-scale investigation into past and current cases of police brutality in Seattle and Washington, as well as the re-opening of all closed cases reported to the Office of Police Accountability. In particular, we demand that cases particular to Seattle and Washington be reopened where no justice has been served, namely the cases of Iosia Faletogo, Damarius Butts, Isaiah Obet, Tommy Le, Shaun Fuhr, and Charleena Lyles.
5. We demand reparations for victims of police brutality, in a form to be determined.
6. We demand that the City of Seattle make the names of officers involved in police brutality a matter of public record. Anonymity should not even be a privilege in public service.
7. We demand a retrial of all People in Color currently serving a prison sentence for violent crime, by a jury of their peers in their community.
8. We demand decriminalization of the acts of protest, and amnesty for protestors generally, but specifically those involved in what has been termed “The George Floyd Rebellion” against the terrorist cell that previously occupied this area known as the Seattle Police Department. This includes the immediate release of all protestors currently being held in prison after the arrests made at 11th and Pine on Sunday night and early Saturday morning June 7th and 8th, and any other protesters arrested in the past two weeks of the uprising, the name Evan Hreha in particular comes to mind who filmed Seattle police macing a young girl and is now in jail.
9. We demand that the City of Seattle and the State Government release any prisoner currently serving time for a marijuana-related offense and expunge the related conviction.
10. We demand the City of Seattle and State Government release any prisoner currently serving time just for resisting arrest if there are no other related charges, and that those convictions should also be expunged.
11. We demand that prisoners currently serving time be given the full and unrestricted right to vote, and for Washington State to pass legislation specifically breaking from Federal law that prevents felons from being able to vote.
12. We demand an end to prosecutorial immunity for police officers in the time between now and the dissolution of the SPD and extant justice system.
13. We demand the abolition of imprisonment, generally speaking, but especially the abolition of both youth prisons and privately-owned, for-profit prisons.
14. We demand in replacement of the current criminal justice system the creation of restorative/transformative accountability programs as a replacement for imprisonment.
15. We demand autonomy be given to the people to create localized anti-crime systems.
16. We demand that the Seattle Police Department, between now and the time of its abolition in the near future, empty its “lost and found” and return property owned by denizens of the city.
17. We demand justice for those who have been sexually harassed or abused by the Seattle Police Department or prison guards in the state of Washington.
18. We demand that between now and the abolition of the SPD that each and every SPD officer turn on their body cameras, and that the body camera video of all Seattle police should be a matter of easily accessible public record.
19. We demand that the funding previously used for Seattle Police be redirected into: A) Socialized Health and Medicine for the City of Seattle. B) Free public housing, because housing is a right, not a privilege. C) Public education, to decrease the average class size in city schools and increase teacher salary. D) Naturalization services for immigrants to the United States living here undocumented. (We demand they be called “undocumented” because no person is illegal.) E) General community development. Parks, etc.

We also have economic demands that must be addressed.

1. We demand the de-gentrification of Seattle, starting with rent control.
2. We demand the restoration of city funding for arts and culture to re-establish the once-rich local cultural identity of Seattle.
3. We demand free college for the people of the state of Washington, due to the overwhelming effect that education has on economic success, and the correlated overwhelming impact of poverty on people of color, as a form of reparations for the treatment of Black people in this state and country.
4. We demand that between now and the abolition of the SPD that Seattle Police be prohibited from performing “homeless sweeps” that displace and disturb our homeless neighbors, and on equal footing we demand an end to all evictions.
5. We demand a decentralized election process to give the citizens of Seattle a greater ability to select candidates for public office such that we are not forced to choose at the poll between equally undesirable options. There are multiple systems and policies in place which make it impractical at best for working-class people to run for public office, all of which must go, starting with any fees associated with applying to run for public office.

Related to economic demands, we also have demands pertaining to what we would formally call “Health and Human Services.”

1. We demand the hospitals and care facilities of Seattle employ black doctors and nurses specifically to help care for black patients.
2. We demand the people of Seattle seek out and proudly support Black-owned businesses. Your money is our power and sustainability.
3. We demand that the city create an entirely separate system staffed by mental health experts to respond to 911 calls pertaining to mental health crises, and insist that all involved in such a program be put through thorough, rigorous training in conflict de-escalation.

Finally, let us now address our demands regarding the education system in the City of Seattle and State of Washington.

1. We demand that the history of Black and Native Americans be given a significantly greater focus in the Washington State education curriculum.
2. We demand that thorough anti-bias training become a legal requirement for all jobs in the education system, as well as in the medical profession and in mass media.
3. We demand the City of Seattle and State of Washington remove any and all monuments dedicated to historical figures of the Confederacy, whose treasonous attempts to build an America with slavery as a permanent fixture were an affront to the human race.

They're already pretty tatted up. Wouldn't be surprising.

The fuck is this Jim Crow garbage? What dimension am I in?

This is going on with the consent of the city. They got into city hall due to a council woman (a literal avowed communist) letting them in.

Betting Jay Inslee and Seattle's mayor are getting a call from Trump tomorrow morning.

Forget Trump, Bezos is probably not going to stand for this. Amazon's HQ is directly in the city, just north of downtown. Microsoft's main HQ is in the eastern suburbs, so Gates probably doesn't mind.
