    Seattle 'autonomous zone' has armed guards, local businesses being threatened with extortion

    Seattle police say they have received reports of armed guards and potential extortion in a self-declared autonomous zone that spans several blocks and includes a now-closed precinct.

    "We've heard, anecdotally, reports of citizens and businesses being asked to pay a fee to operate within this area. This is the crime of extortion. If anyone has been subjected to this, we need them to call 911," Assistant Chief of Police Deanna Nollette said on Wednesday.

    Protesters calling to defund the police and make sweeping reforms to law enforcement tactics have declared a six-block region -- spanning 13th Avenue past 11th Avenue, near Cal Anderson Park, and from East Olive Street to East Pike Street -- the "Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone" (CHAZ).

    The region encompasses the SPD's East Precinct, which was abandoned by cops on Monday following days of violent clashes between law enforcement and protesters in the wake of George Floyd's death, as well as parts of Capitol Hill.

    Officers retreated from the area in an effort to quell the violence-- which included multiple shootings, one that was sparked after a man rammed his vehicle into a crowd of protesters...

    Earlier today I heard that the (vegan!)hooligans running things had invited homeless people in to eat and then they stole all of the food.

    They were asking for volunteers for food to be brought in.

    Now Anarchists in the Seattle Autonomous Zone Have a 'Garden' and It's as Funny as You'd Expect

    Now Anarchists in the Seattle Autonomous Zone Have a 'Garden' and It's as Funny as You'd Expect

    Meanwhile, the 'Autonomous Zone' is dealing with problems you would think would develop in a bad socialist 'utopia.'

    More issues with the this guy who says he really isn't a warlord, but is acting as a de facto police force according to reports....


    ...But hey, look, they're trying to figure out how to be self-sustainable to deal with that little problem that arises in socialists "utopias," uneven use of resources.

    As we previously reported, an activist in the zone claimed they'd run out of food because the homeless took it all and the activist begged for more food donations, particularly vegan or soy products....


    ...Now they've planted a garden, looks like they're trying to put down roots, intending to stay for a long time. Except for one problem, they don't understand the concept of planting and putting down roots....


    Lol the Antifa people in the "autonomous zone" are taking up farming. They poured some top soil onto the grass, seem to have simply placed some of the plants onto the soil rather than digging holes, and are expecting to keep the plot sufficiently watered with a watering can.


    One other problem?


    Also they've planted enough crops to provide moderately large portions of salad to four people in about a month


    But hey, do you think they'll figure that out? A farmer weighed in on how silly they are.


    im a farmer, these lazy bums claim they made a garden to feed their commune. Lets take it apart.

    First off, they laid down brown gardening paper and just put potting soil ontop, the ground is still living turf and since it's a park its likely compacted.

    This means that roots will have a very hard time penetrating the turf layer, and they will likely have a garden full of weeds within a week as the weeds push through their paper and soil...

    If they had a real governor in that state, he/she would have already called in the national guard to disperse this nonsense.

    The Governor supports them. Trump says if she don't take care of the situation, he will!
