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.
Man the Summer of Love is really heating up.
It just sets my heart ablaze.

I read on an earlier post that Seattle went for HilLIARy 92%-8% in 2016.
Sorry for you 8%ers, but the only useful Federal aid I can support is to send a fleet of U-Haul Trucks & Trailers, each with 10 gallons of gas and a road map.
You take it from there
SO, who is supplying electricity, water, mail, sewer, banking, barbershop, groceries, services to these “people”?
Get real and cut those off and 15 minutes ... it’s over
“If they disabled the cell towers in the zone this thing would be over in hours.”
Since we know that the NSA never monitors cel phone convos without authorization (cough, cough) it’d be far more valuable to find out whom the Chazistas are talking to.
Yep, and we are too anxious for Trump to go in there. At this point that looks like a trap. The President got maybe 100 votes from the entire city. The people stuck in zone voted for this and the mayor is enabling it so let it blow and it will blow.
Who is setting these fires and how? Incendiary drones? That would be clever.
So they ‘colonized’ an area, they are setting up border walls, and they are establishing a police force. What were they protesting again?
There is some teamwork going on here, those blocks weigh 3600# and the plastic ones are expensive.
.
They could be any number of people, not just the cell phone company or police.
LOL
Do they sell those in Madison?
Who needs a Fire Dept?
You do, idiots!
Exactly!
Hmmmmm. I remember during the Watts riots there was the oft used rallying cry:
BURN BABY BURN. That’s what these “peaceful protests” of.
lew
‘The People’s Republik of Madistan’ will NEVER admit to being the dumpster fire that it is on any given day! ;)
Close down non-professional higher education programs, especially “x - studies” and increase vocational and apprenticeship training. Eliminate the federal Department of Education
Send them a big fat bill.
Good point. A covert tech team could do it and it could be done without entering the zone.
