Crackdown on autonomous zones: Tennessee governor says he won't tolerate protester camp in Nashville as North Carolina cops tear down barricades - but Seattle police union says city is near 'lawlessness'
Daily Mail ^ | 6/13/2020

The movement to create police-free 'autonomous zones' protected by barricades spread on Friday Protesters in Nashville on Friday night attempted to set up their own 'autonomous zone' there Tennessee Governor Bill Lee, a Republican, issued a strong warning that it 'will not be tolerated' Police in Asheville, North Carolina ripped down barricades of an attempted autonomous zone In Seattle, the 'CHAZ' continues to thrive as protesters occupy six blocks of the city Police there abandoned a precinct and are having trouble responding to crimes in progress Boss of police union says Seattle is now on the verge of becoming a 'lawless state'

Demonstrators in Nashville, Tennessee and Asheville, North Carolina have attempted to emulate protesters in Seattle by establishing police-free 'autonomous zones' protected by barricades, as police union officials in Seattle warn that their city is on the verge of 'lawlessness'.

The efforts in Tennessee and North Carolina were met with a strong response from local authorities, in contrast to Seattle where demonstrators in the 'CHAZ' have taken control of a police precinct and remain manning the barricades armed after five days.

In Asheville, activists say that about 100 people gathered Friday night on Lexington Avenue under the Interstate 280 overpass, where they attempted to block the street with barricades and take control of the area.

Police responded in force and tore down the barricades, video from the scene shows. Demonstrators issued a cry for reinforcements on social media and vowed to return on Saturday.

'People are needed now! Please share this if you can't be here. Supplies also needed,' one organizer posted on Twitter.

Reason number 7,342 to live in a conservative state rather than a liberal state.

As of 10:30 tonight, there was no strong response in Nashville - no response at all - and with our wimpy governor, I really don’t expect much. As soon as the first tent was set up, they should have been made to leave.
His words are empty.

Hey Seattle PD: the people of Seattle don't want you there.

Unfortunately, North Carolina is no longer a conservative state and Asheville is not a conservative area.

I have a niece living there. 30 something. I pray she is not caught up in all of this nonsense.

Thank God someone / the police in Asheville so far are winning this war.

May they continue to prevail!

See this why I never thought that was funny in Seattle. I knew it was going to start to try to spread to other places. Federal funds have to gebe cut off to any state that allows us to happen

Was this ‘crackdown’ organized by Cracker Barrel?’ From now on, every noun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, and anything else must be pre-approved before any white person can utter a word.

NC is a VERY conservative state. But I'm not sure if we just can't out vote the population centers or if the conservative population is apathetic. I've lived here most of my life in and around the Triad area. Once ya get outta town there not much question about the leanings of the general public. The Asheville area is a little Seattle in the mountains. But at least the PD doesn't seem interested in playing along with the lil commies right now.

Asheville, Biltmore Estate and satanists. Nashville, child trafficking big problem, Vanderbilt. Not a coincidence.

I’ve lived in NC all my life...in Wake County.

NC had a series of Democrat governors and the latest one was elected through voter fraud (primarily in Durham).

Wake County (Raleigh), Mecklenburg County (Charlotte), and Durham County (Durham) have been taken over by liberals, I am afraid.

Yes Asheville is a little Seattle. What a shame for a beautiful location.

This November we have a chance to replace the Demonazi Cooper with Dan Forest, an outstanding Republican (Lt. Governor). If we can do that, I will agree with you about NC being a conservative state still. It once was despite the Demonrat Governors in its history.

When the cities are lost, the state is lost. The governor placed national political attempt to destroy the President over the businesses in Charlotte

North Carolina is not now a conservative state. NC is being Africanized at a rapid rate

One reason the Asheville crowd has failed to conquer is most of their radicals went to other cities to participate in rioting two weeks ago.

An act of reasoning thank you.

Gov. Lee is a puss who has perfected the art of talking a good game and doing absolutely nothing.

I've always been for awarding Electoral College votes by Congressional Districts in order to weaken the Metro vote. Now I'm at the stage that each county should have one vote in any statewide passage of laws.

Case in point, look at Nevada when they voted for universal background checks/registration.

There’s a song by Canadian band Stripper’s Union that sums up the George Soros types who set these animals off and then sit back and enjoy the chaos:

This was the jewel in the crown of the tour
They’re tearin’ up the seats of pure velour
Hit the wasp nest with the mic
Now there’s a riot going on tonight

It’s a party-time violent world
You get it started with those certain words
My logo stands for lettin’ off steam
Got the bulls all runnin’ in a Fox News dream

Movin’ quiet, through the riot, long bullet proof white limo
I’m movin’ quiet, through the riot, long bullet proof white limo

Street cred is at an all-time high
What you see is what you buy
Tear gas drops in the new perfume
It’s not the fight it’s how you dress the wound

We did 22 bucks a head
That’s better than the Grateful Dead
They picked our stock of swag so clean
As they raged against the old machine... as they raged against the old machine.

Movin’ quiet, through the riot, long bullet proof white limo
Down, downtown we go, long beautiful white limo

No future (Oo)
I rock the boat (Oo)
I scream swear words (Oo)
Feels good to have a sore throat

Here I am in the tank cocoon
Shooting out of the Roman ruins
Bad press gets the juicy ratings
More flames, more intoxicating.

Movin’ quiet, through the riot, long bullet proof white limo
Down, down, down we go, long beautiful white limo
I’m movin’ quiet, through the riot, long bullet proof white limo
Long beautiful white limo
Long bullet proof white limo

It takes a shot at Fox News, but I don’t care.
