Over the past week, multiple blocks of the Capitol Hill neighborhood in Seattle have been occupied by anti-police protesters.
These vagabonds, social misfits and apparently otherwise unskilled people have declared the area as independent from the United States, and they are calling it the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, or CHAZ for short.
One of the first thing the founders of the CHAZ did was create their own borders and they are enforcing them.
The budding independent region of leftists has its own armed guards essentially a police force meant to keep people who are deemed undesirable out of the area.
But the anti-American and ironically anti-law enforcement region has no fire department.
It must be hard going out on your own, because the self-appointed leaders of this autonomous area seemed unprepared to handle a curve ball which was thrown at them this week.
A dumpster fire struck near the CHAZ border Wednesday night, and demonstrators were reportedly forced to take drastic measures: They apparently had to seek international aide by calling Seattles fire department.
Townhall reporter Julio Rosas, who has been embedded in the area this week covering the protesters activities, documented the hilarity of the incident.
Dumpster fire started just outside the boundary of the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, Rosas reported.
Minutes later, Rosas posted an update about the fire.
Protesters called the fire department about the dumpster fire, he tweeted.
The images show Seattle firefighters working to douse the flames.
While images of the demonstrators this week appear to show more than enough personnel in the area who could have helped to carry water and put out the small fire, the areas occupiers apparently chose instead to call the system that they are protesting for perceived racial inequality which sent firefighters to clean up after them.
That is a privilege not afforded to many new nations facing oppression from a parent country. The British, for instance, never sent any such aide to their American adversaries after the Battles of Lexington and Concord.
At least President Donald Trump has publicly recognized the start-up regions presence:
Still, it might take some time for these rebels to figure out how to govern themselves, now that theyve apparently obtained their independence.
The people of the CHAZ are working to build a food supply to begin feeding themselves in the form of a tomato garden planted in the neighborhoods Cal Anderson Park.
It looks like its going well:
But without basic services, such as a fire department, its only a matter of time before the next dumpster fire strikes.
Then again, a dumpster fire is a great metaphor for what leftist, autonomous self-rule looks like.
B-b-but fire hoses are racist!
The house
The house
The house is on fire
We dont need no water let the MF burn
Actually I reject your premise. Let it burn.
Anyone worth saving can probably get out fine on their own.
the rioters don’t own the property
sorry should have said ANARCHISTS
You cannot make this up. You just can’t.
Well I certainly hope they’re not using utilities and services (cellular, radio, internet, etc.) from outside their little independent zone. They need to produce those things themselves.
please press OU-812 to speak to someone who (MIGHT) care
Those “walls” don’t seem to be too formidable nor well patrolled/staffed.
It’s Seatte. All they have to do is pray for rain, but who would they pray to?
Lock them into their prison.
ROFLMAO! Ah...HA-HA-HAAAA!
“The budding independent region of leftists has its own armed guards essentially a police force meant to keep people who are deemed ‘undesirables’ out of the area.”
They’re acting just like the Gated Community Folk they love to hate so much!
I’m sure they FAIL to see it, but it IS what it IS, Kiddies!
*SNORT*
*Popping Corn* It’s going to be a fun weekend! ;)

If they disabled the cell towers in the zone this thing would be over in hours.
the mayor won’t do anything, after all it’s just a street fiesta.
“If they disabled the cell towers in the zone this thing would be over in hours.”
Bingo.
Cut the cable too.
Life imitates art.
When Family Guy was funny.
