Inspired by the success of Seattle protesters in establishing what they have dubbed an "autonomous zone," protesters elsewhere are trying to do the same, with far less success.

According to the U.K. Daily Mail, activists said there were about 100 protesters involved in the Asheville "autonomous zone" effort.

Looks like the 'mare' and Asheville PD are NOT down with the struggle. Good for them.

This is North Carolina. It's a way more conservative state than people admit to. And they don't want such an "autonomous zone" interfering with all the great universities in the state.

Surprised those in Ass ville went on to stop this nonsense. We are headed up to Bryson City early next month, from Fl, and unfortunately have to go through it. Not expecting any problems at BC.

That’s how it is done.
Requires some physical labor.
But no CHAZ in this city.
Bravo to the officers.

Helps if you have a mayor and governor who are not complete leftist wussies. Then they’ll bust it up. Otherwise, you’re going to have an autonomous zone. I wonder where NYC’s will be. Central Park? Penn Station? Prospect Park? Ground Zero?

Asheville is a mini Portland though. It’s probably the bluest island in the reddest sea of NC.

Asheville is already one giant progressive commune. Nobody tore up businesses there because the hipsters own them all.

Why on Earth would they want an autonomous zone? It’s already as close as you can get without barricades.
