So how do they justify stepping on the rights of those people that own property, business, and live in that area?

It's a Police free zone, so they built a wall and posted armed guards at the gates. They got some bad press on this so reports now say the guards are using concealed carry. Not sure what they call the guards, but it's definitely not Police.

Some white kids built a garden, but it was too racist, so now it is Blacks and Indigenous only. It could be they have built a second garden, for Blacks and Indigenous only, in that case I guess they like Segregation.

Attachment 84596

They've updated their list requesting donations, clothes are requested for Males only, seems kind of sexist but it's their country.

Attachment 84597

Like many struggling countries, they have no Fire Department so they called in Seattle Fire Dept when a dumpster fire erupted. If they decide to change their name, Dumpster Fire could be a winner.

Attachment 84598

I've heard that Black Lives Matter has disowned CHAZ and does not recognize their diplomatic status. Somebody should let the CHAZarians know, because painting a huge BLACK LIVES MATTER in the street is so far their biggest accomplishment.

What I find hilarious is that the "AZ" in CHAZ is "autonomous zone", yet they are asking for donations of food, clothing, etc. Guess they never looked in a dictionary to see what autonomous meant...

They are socialists, but the supplies they've requested would be coming from an orderly capitalist society.

The garden they planted wouldn't replace the calories they expended to make it, lol.

They're complaining about things being stolen from their tents. I guess they do believe in private property after all.

Seems no lessons were learned from their Occupy Wall Street ancestors.

We should have all the liberals on one side and all the conservatives on the other. And let each part have their own taxes and laws, etc. IDK, sounds good to me! haha But who would go in that free zone???

I'm pretty sure we can have opinions on that. :icon_wink:

Chaz-sounds like something a Libertarian would love. Maybe THEY will all MOVE there.

So a CHAZtopian discovers that someone has stolen his MacBook Pro laptop, $400 in cash plus a weeks supply of food from his tent. He let's the "council" know about this and gets this reply.

Please don't leave, we are stronger together

You don't exactly know what happened to your belongings (only that they vanished) so to say it was theft is not entirely fair.

It could be that a disadvantaged resident was in greater need of the items than you, and that's what we are about as a community. I know it is hard to hear, but treat it as an unplanned donation.

You did good today, I'm proud of you.
