Seattle Protesters Negotiate Over Leaving ‘Autonomous Zone’
Wall Street Journal ^ | 6/12/20 | Jim Carlton

SEATTLE - Black Lives Matter protesters negotiated with local officials here Friday over their terms for leaving a six block area that they have controlled for most of the week without a police presence.

“If there is no police, there is no problem,” Fekadu Shibeshi, an immigrant from Ethiopia, said as he surveyed the festive scene.

Organizers say thousands of people are living in the Autonomous Zone, though many spend only some time there before returning to their homes.

**SNIP**

“It’s a temporary occupation until we get our demands met,” said Jessica Kilpatrick, a BLM spokeswoman.

**SNIP**

An argument broke out within the autonomous zone Friday when Bridgette Allen and two other African-Americans began removing orange road barriers they said reminded them of slavery.

“We don’t want barriers, that’s the thing we’re trying to take down,” said Ms. Allen, 60.

At the very least, any legal immigrant involved with this has to be permanently banned from the country.

Of course, illegals shouldn't be here at all.

The best way to clear a liberal area is to hint about a lockdown then scramble the internet signal. NYC residents cleared out and stayed out since the February lockdown hint.Many are still living in basements of parents on the east coast.

Bob Woodson and Shelby Steele have been making the rounds on Fox in the evenings. I love what those guys are saying. Falls right in line with the anonymous writer. I wish there were more strong black men standing up to confront this BLM malarkey. Colin Powell could’ve been one of them but he sold out.

They’ve been having problems every day. Whaa, send us food, the homeless ate all of ours. Whaa, we can’t put out a barrel fire. Whaa, our garden didn’t grow enough over night to feed the world. Whaa, we have to leave this Utopia every night to sleep on our purple mattress at home under the a/c where there’s no bugs crawling on us. Whaa, whaa, whaa.

Cut off the power and water. Don’t give them any food. Don’t put out their fires.

In my dream world, the discussion would go like this:
“What will you give us to leave.”
“We will let you live.”
