Republic Of CHAZ Begins Reparations; White Participants Pressured To Give Blacks $10 Each

Seattle's so-called Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) has begun reparations, as white members of the fledgling sovereignty were asked on Friday night to give at least one black person $10 before leaving the area.

"I want you to find, by the time you leave this autonomous zone, I want you to give ten dollars to one African American person from this autonomous zone. And if you find that's difficult - if you find it's hard for you to give ten dollars to people of color, to black people expecially [sic], you have to think really critically about - in the future, are you going to actually give up power and land and capital when you have it?

If you have a hard time giving up ten dollars, you have to think about: are you really down with this struggle? Are you really down with the movement? Because if that is a challenge for you, I'm not sure if you're in the right place.

So find an African American person. White people, I see you. I see every one of you, and I remember your faces. You find that African American person and you give them ten dollars. Cash up, venmo, ten dollars in your pocket. That's my challenge to you. Do it."

In short, cough up or GTFO.

Meanwhile, CHAZ's efforts at gardening appear to be ill-fated. Perhaps they will cross their fortified borders into the United States to resupply at the local Whole Foods.

HAHAHAHAHA this is the antifa "garden."

The confrontation continued in the CHAZ/CHOP as the “Christ Zone” guy accused someone of stealing his phone. A person came up and said, “Mental health, we got this.” To which another person said, “No, you don’t ‘got this!’”

People ‘are just enjoying themselves’: Get insight into life in Seattle's ‘autonomous zone’

‘Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone’, also known as CHAZ, has grabbed the attention of people in the US and beyond ever since it was established earlier this week. RT’s Caleb Maupin got a sneak peek into what happens down there.

Established around an abandoned police precinct on June 8, a six-block area of downtown Seattle has since evolved into a sort of commune controlled by anti-police brutality protesters. But how are the Seattle would-be revolutionaries faring in their police-free social experiment?

“Mood here is completely peaceful,” Desiree DeLoach, an American travel blogger and anti-capitalist, who found herself inside the ‘autonomous zone’ told RT’s Caleb Maupin. A video shot by DeLoach shows crowds of people casually walking around a street junction turned into an improvised central meeting place by the CHAZ inhabitants.

“People are grilling some food and over here we also have free pizza, drinks, water and all types of snacks. People are handing out bags with masks and hand sanitizers. Literally everything you can think of.”

Several large tents set up at the street junction can indeed be seen filled with bottled water, drinks, food and all sorts of other stuff that, according to DeLoach, is handed out free of charge to anyone coming to the place. The protesters have apparently managed to overcome food shortages reported at the time when the “zone” was just created.

At one of the corners, a large black banner surrounded by flowers and candles can be seen. “Over here, we have a memorial set up in the memory of all the people we have lost during the George Floyd rebellion as they are calling it. There is like a constant 24-hour vigil. People can light candles and take a moment of silence for everyone we have lost during the rebellion and at the hands of the police,” DeLoach said. The banner hanging over the place features a total of 15 names and a call on the protesters to mourn the dead and “fight like hell” for those who still live.

It is, however, unclear what exactly the CHAZ inhabitants plan to do. According to DeLoach, people are simply “intent on staying for as long as possible” but have few ideas about what to do with their newly-found freedom.

DeLoach said protesters plan to meet on Sunday to “discuss long-term plans.” She did not mention any “official” list of demands or goals but said that “people are calling for defunding of police nationwide.” The blogger explained that the protesters are aware of the recent decision by the Minneapolis council to “disband” a local police unit and now want something similar to happen at least in Seattle.

“For now, [the protesters] are just enjoying themselves and are holding various discussions with others,” she said. The CHAZ inhabitants have certainly found quite a few ways to entertain themselves.

A video taken by a local journalist, Julio Rosas, showed them making a community garden in a local park. Another video demonstrated several dozen people playing dodgeball at a tennis court near the “zone.” The game soon spiraled into a clash between the players, though. CHAZ has also seen plenty of discussions on “what to do next” and how to deal with police should the officers attempt to reclaim the territory.

According to DeLoach, inhabitants seek to persuade other people visiting the place that a society can effectively exist without the police and the money spent on law enforcement could be more effectively used on education, medicine and social assistance. “There is no need for the police. We can police ourselves and that is one of the biggest concepts of this autonomous zone,” DeLoach said.

In fact, the zone quickly got itself a sort of police substitute – a self-styled local ‘warlord’ – rapper Raz Simone, who tried to enforce his vision of law and order on the CHAZ inhabitants. The man usurped policing functions from the cops in a territory controlled by the protesters only to be promptly accused of homophobia over decade-old tweets.

The “peaceful mood” of the protesters has also been reportedly disturbed by a machete-wielding man, who roamed around CHAZ for some time. According to DeLoach, the police did not entirely give up on the place either and just took their time to regroup. Now, some protesters are concerned with the prospect of law enforcement officers clearing the zone out and “forcefully evicting everyone” under some pretext.

The establishment of the “autonomous zone” has provoked mixed reactions from the US establishment as Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan said the city could very well “have a summer of love” while President Donald Trump branded it “anarchist takeover” and threatened Seattle with intervention.

CHAZ has also inspired some protesters in other American cities to try and establish “autonomous zones” of their own but none have succeeded in this endeavor so far.

I would absolutely not voluntarily give up something that I had worked hard to get just because some black racist was trying to extort money using guilt.

Except for the presence of black people telling white people to feel guilty for being white, this reminds me of the "summer of love" when young people thought they could drug themselves into a stupor and panhandle for the rest of their lives.

Seattle Sued By Businesses, Residents Over CHOP
Thu, 06/25/2020 - 12:31

Over a dozen businesses, property owners and residents filed a class-action lawsuit against the city of Seattle on Wednesday over the decision to cede a roughly six-block area to BLM protesters, who then established the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) - now known as the Capitol Hill Occupying Protest (CHOP).

Plaintiffs - which include several property management firms, an auto repair shop and a tattoo parlor, say the absence of police, firefighters and ambulances has subjected them to "extensive property damage, public safety dangers, and an inability to use and access their properties."

That said, the plaintiffs want everyone to know that they support Black Lives Matter "who, by exercising such rights, are bringing issues such as systemic racism and unfair violence against African Americans by police to the forefront of the national consciousness."

In short, they support the movement - just not the harms they've suffered as a result of it.

Dear Comrades in the struggle:

Over the last two weeks we achieved what no one thought possible. We successfully built a self-governing community and convinced city leaders to enact meaningful police reform, including substantial budget cuts to the SPD.

Last night. Solidarity Committee received notice from some of our trusted partners that persons in the park were in danger. We immediately implemented our emergency relocation plan, successfully evacuating most of the park. Thankfully, no danger materialized. However, we are now left with the reality that very few people remain in our beloved CHOP. This morning's census finds fewer than two dozen clustered near the East Precinct. Eleven additional people are at the Space Needle. Last night’s BLM march had 71 participants, a number we expect to continue to drop. It is time we shift to the next phase of our organizing and move from direct action to virtual activism. We call on everyone to continue the struggle through Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat. We have held city officials accountable and can continue to do so in a way that is safe for everyone.

The CHOP project is now concluded. While we expect a very small handful of holdouts may try to remain in the CHOP, no further organizing will be occurring to support this presence and the number on-site will be too small to be more than an annoyance for pedestrians rather than a zonal blockade. We have been briefed that full rehousing of SPD East Precinct staff into the station will occur no later than early next week and will be preceded by removal of barriers and the reopening of streets to traffic.

Thank you to everyone for your support over the last two weeks and congratulations on your victories. You should feel proud! Let’s not let this momentum die. Please remember to continue supporting the kind of revolutionary change we just created by voting for Joe Biden as president of the United States in November and Jay Inslee as governor of Washington. And, despite our occasional differences, we believe Jenny Durkan has stepped up and shown the leadership that will help us heal. We urge you to vote to reelect her in 2021.

In Solidarity!

The Capitol Hill Occupied Protest Solidarity Committee

I think the leadership got bored with camping out on the streets. Two weeks of camping will make most people long for the comforts of home. It was time to take a hot shower and rest on a soft bed rather than a sleeping bag on the ground. The Revolution is Over! Declare Victory and Leave!
