New York Times Describes Seattle Autonomous Zone as ‘Homeland for Racial Justice’
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2...acial-justice/
Hannah Bleau 11 Jun 2020
The New York Times, in a piece published Thursday, used glowing language in its description of what has become known as the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) in Seattle, detailing the “liberated streets” and area that is “now a homeland for racial justice.”
Police effectively abandoned their precinct, allowing a collection of demonstrators, including radicals associated with the violent group Antifa, to set up what has become known as an “autonomous” zone — an area free of cops and authority, or as the Times described it, a “homeland for racial justice.”
“They reversed the barricades to shield the liberated streets and laid claim to several city blocks, now known as the ‘Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone,'” the Times’ Mike Baker wrote, noting a banner in front of a police station reading, “This space is now property of the Seattle people.”
“The entire area was now a homeland for racial justice — and, depending on the protester one talked to, perhaps something more,” he continued, describing the area as “part street festival, part commune” hallmarked by “speeches, poetry and music.”
The Times notes that the agenda of the demonstrators has broadened and varies person to person, as some of the inhabitants are self-described anarchists and socialists.
“The more we encourage and focus on the race thing, the greater our attention is not focusing on the fact that this is class warfare,” said one of the protesters, a self-described anarchist, according to Baker.
Another demonstrator, 23-year-old John Moore, said they are trying to prove, through the autonomous zone, that police are not needed.
“We are trying to prove through action and practice that we don’t need them and we can fulfill the community’s needs without them,” he said, donning a “stethoscope and paramedic apparel in a makeshift health center set up on the patio of a taco restaurant.”
Demonstrators, according to the Times, seemed to vary in response to how long the zone would last:
Some wondered if the police department would try to reclaim the territory. Others said they expected the barriers to be up for weeks, until state and city leaders had done enough to meet their demands.
As Breitbart News detailed, Antifa has been reportedly in search of armed volunteers to guard the barricades establishing their cop-free zone. Protesters have also released a lengthy list of demands, including the abolishment of the Seattle Police Department “and the attached Criminal Justice Apparatus.” They also demand free health care, free college, free public housing, and call on Seattle health care facilities to “employ black doctors and nurses specifically to help care for black patients.”
President Trump has since called on local leaders to take back their city and stop “these ugly Anarchists”:
Radical Left Governor @JayInslee and the Mayor of Seattle are being taunted and played at a level that our great Country has never seen before. Take back your city NOW. If you don’t do it, I will. This is not a game. These ugly Anarchists must be stooped IMMEDIATELY. MOVE FAST!

Domestic Terrorists have taken over Seattle, run by Radical Left Democrats, of course. LAW & ORDER!

In response, Mayor Jenny Durkan (D) sharply dismissed the president’s call, telling the president to “make us all safe” and to “go back to your bunker”:
Make us all safe. Go back to your bunker. #BlackLivesMatter https://t.co/H3TXduhlY4
— Mayor Jenny Durkan (@MayorJenny) June 11, 2020
Gov. Jay Inslee (D), when asked about the controversial zone on Wednesday, pled ignorance.
“Well, that’s news to me,” he said of the autonomous zone. “So I’ll have to reserve any comment about it.”
“I have not heard anything about that from any credible source. Not that you’re not credible, it’s just that I — before I espouse an opinion, I should know of which I speak,” he added.

This would make for a great comedy. (A modern day MASH, except even more satirical!)
Why plunge that much money into production when you can just search the intarwebs for similar glimpses of reality instead, though?
Good luck to them, I suppose. (They'll need it!)

Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

Wasn't expecting them to clear out that whole area that fast. Thought there would be a few stragglers trying to fight the police.
