INSURRECTION AND SECESSION IN SEATTLE

by Bob Walsh

A six block area centering on the 4th Police Precinct Building in Seattle has been taken over by Madame DeFarge and company.   They have announced that they are now a "police free zone" and have armed supporters at the barricades to enforce their position.  They apparently do not see any logical inconsistency in this position.  As of Wednesday night they were attempting to expand their empire into the 5th Police Precinct with limited success.

The "real" city government has announced that they will continue garbage collection and intend to set up porta-potties so the place does not turn into San Francisco.  That would be really gross.

So far the city isn't doing anything about this takeover.  It is not clear just yet how fire engines and ambulances could access the area if necessary as the streets are physically barricaded.  So far nobody has died from lack of medical assistance, that they know of any way.

There is no evidence that they have set up a guillotine to start executing enemies of the new state.  Yet.  

The rumor mill says they have applied to Communist China to recognize the "new" government of Free Seattle, but that is probably bullshit.

Just in case you think this is a joke please remember, the "new government" is armed.

Protesters dance, sing and order vegan pizza in Seattle's six-block Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone where cops are kept out by armed patrol - as Trump brands them 'domestic terrorists' and orders Dems to take back the city NOW

'Radical Left Governor [of Washington, Jay Inslee] and the Mayor of Seattle are being taunted and played at a level that our great Country has never seen before,' Trump tweeted late on Wednesday. 'Take back your city NOW. If you don't do it, I will. This is not a game. These ugly Anarchists must be stooped [sic] IMMEDIATELY. MOVE FAST!' he continued. 'Domestic Terrorists have taken over Seattle, run by Radical Left Democrats, of course. LAW & ORDER!' 

 

It followed astonishing developments in Seattle, where protesters have established what they call the 'Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone,' or CHAZ, setting up barricades and armed checkpoints and declaring that police are not allowed inside the zone.
