Welcome to the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, where Seattle protesters gather without police (Now what?)
Seattle Times ^ | 6/10/20 | Evan Bush

Welcome to the CHAZ, the newly named Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, where most everything was free Tuesday.

Free snacks at the No-Cop Co-op. Free gas masks from some guy’s sedan. Free speech at the speaker’s circle, where anyone could say their piece. A free documentary movie - Ava DuVernay’s “13th” - showing after dark.

A Free Capitol Hill, according to no shortage of spray paint on building facades. And perhaps most important to demonstrators, the neighborhood core was free of uniformed police.

**SNIP**

A man passed out flyers calling for a Thursday meeting to help answer the question now lingering for demonstrators.

“I support this, but what’s next?” said Max Hodges.

That sentiment summarizes a cascade of questions demonstrators now face. Autonomous from what, exactly? Who is leading? How long can it last? Is it a distraction from the larger movement for police accountability and racial justice?

Sarah Tornai, a demonstrator leading by microphone Tuesday, called for pragmatic organization so demonstrators remain safe and in control of the area.

“We do not know when the police will arrive to reclaim this space,” Tornai told the crowd.

How long will it take for the fascists to begin farming their own food?

I lived in Renton for a time. Not much of a growing season for anything but apples, rhubarb and blackberrys.

I hear the CHAveZ movement is collecting “taxes” from the businesses unfortunate enough to be within the zone.

I say we dust off and nuke ‘em from orbit — it’s the only way to be sure.

Force them to go Green. Let them depend on the rain and sun. Turn off the water and electricity.

What's next?

This farce collapses when people run out of food and business owners start filing lawsuits.

2/75 Rangers are 10 minutes away -HALO one company into the center of the park late at night and let them hunt without restrictions.

No extraction required.

They built a wall. How about that.

Warlords and... soy shortages? For Antifa anarchists in Seattle’s Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, revolution ain’t easy

There is something ironic, of course, about their first action being to build a “wall” to protect their territory...

I wore a tab for more than 2 decades and a few scout dog teams and over-watch teams and they would be running away as fast as their feet can carry them.

Take out the instigators in the middle of the crowds and watch them run.

HALO is a small unit tactic. Doing it with a company would be a disaster. Air mobile assault would be better. The fools took over some open space that could be an LZ.

I like the way you think.

I remember what a problem the Occupy Oakland commies were, back in 2011. They occupied the grassy plaza in front of city hall. The police were directed to stay away by the idiot mayor, Jean Quan. So finally there was a shooting at the corner of the camp and someone was killed. A couple of nights later the police came in at 3 a.m. and wiped out the whole camp, loading it all in dump trucks and hauling it off.

Stir them up as a pretext for moving in, followed by overwhelming force.

As an old grunt from the 101st, I can’t see using air assault on Capitol Hill - too noisy. Suppressed weapons, turn off the electricity in the zone inbound, land in squads with predetermined sectors. The WARNORD would be long!

Sucks being old and just getting to watch....

Thank you...

I just tried to post this suggestion over at Breitbart and was banned for doing so.

God bless Jim and this site, one of very few places for us to speak.
