Secession is considered treason by mobs hauling down Confederate statues in other cities, but it’s the very basis of CHAZ, Seattle’s separate “autonomous zone.” Signs at the barricades read “Property of the People” and “Leaving USA.” But from a video tour of the new country, it doesn’t look promising so far.
Solomon Simone, a 30-year-old dreadlocked artist whose nom de guerre is Raz, is the self-styled leader of the 300 or 400 CHAZians. Critics call him a “warlord.” But it’s been discovered that he sent out ugly homophobic tweets several years ago, so he could be deposed. Raz claims “someone is creating fake tweets from my page somehow.”
Many sympathizers make excuses for CHAZ. In a New York Times news story it was described as “a homeland for racial justice.” Liberal blogger Steve Leslie says of CHAZ: “As far as internal governance goes, there is none of course. . . . It’s probably most similar to Freetown Christiania which is an intentional commune in the borough of Christianshavn in the city of Copenhagen, Denmark.”
Christiania was formed in 1971, when hippie squatters took over a vacant 19-acre military base in Copenhagen and declared independence. While it’s seen changes, Christiania still exists and will mark its 50th anniversary next year.
It was - and is - an interesting experiment. But let’s hit the pause button before anyone thinks CHAZ is going to adopt what Christiania’s advocates call its “tenets of individual responsibility and communal harmony.” I have been to Christiania and gotten the full tour from one of its leading “citizens.” Here are the major differences I see:

She already spoke. She supports the squatters.
they built a wall
and now King Raz is handing out AR15 weapons from his Tesla to unlicensed hooligans
where is the gun control?
Seattle Communal Un-policed Zone (SCUZ)?
Why has our president done NOTHING to quell this. I thought it may go 3–4 days and then be stomped but alas the Chezrios continue to inspire other freaks to try and section off a few blocks of insurrection.
Our country is lost if our president cannot protect us on our own homeland but spend trillions trying to nation build a bunch of goat humpers.
I call it CHAP. “Good morning, old CHAP! Would you like some tea?”
CHAZ is more organized and has an actual goal in life...
Trump is fighting a war. Washington’s took seven years. I’d argue the one Trump is fighting is far more difficult. Let Trump pick his battles.
And I say that as someone who’s chomping at the bit.
Champing, rather.
I was wondering that the other day.
I also recall President Trump vowing to take over for the Governors if they don’t do things his way and that never happened either.
I love Trump....I believe he’s who we need now. But he can’t keep saying he’s going to take care of it and then do nothing.
Why doesn’t he send the National Guard into the new state of CHOP and clear them out?
and if there’s a valid reason why not (and I suspect there is), then Trump needs to stop saying he’s going to do what he does not.
Trump CAN swoop in per the Insurrection Act, but he’s honestly letting the Seattle and Washington State governments have their chance to act on the situation first. You can bet that he will mention them as a bunch of losers who don’t give a crap about their own people shortly enough,
And Seattle paid for it
And so yet again the pagans set up their Lord of the Flies establishment. Just like Socialists, this time it’s different. It will be better. They’ll achieve perfect harmony and a better society, right up until everything begins to degrade, people jockey for supreme power, and start killing each other.
At this point, I just want them to go at each other inside the enclosure. I just don’t think they will get it or learn any other way.
The Fox critter who works out of LA said that the property owners within the CHAZ boundaries pretty much don’t have a problem with their homes and businesses being stolen, and they support the thugs. Yeah; I believe that ...
Mayor Jenny Durkan and the Seattle city council are traitors to the United States of America and should be indicted, tried, convicted, and sentenced to be publicly hanged.
I wonder what the property tax sum total is for CHAZ. I’m sure the city won’t miss it. /S
