Everything is just lovely in CHAZ, the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, otherwise known as CHOP, the Capitol Hill Organized Zone. Mayor Jenny and the media are right. It’s all block parties, gardening, poetry readings, and a little violence here-and-there which they forgot to mention.
The police announced they will not enter CHAZ/CHOP unless it’s a matter of life or death. People who live there, 500 residents and storekeeps, are “like sitting ducks” as one resident said.
“We are just sitting ducks all day,” Matthew Ploszaj told Seattle-based KIRO 7. “Now every criminal in the city knows they can come into this area, and they can do anything they want, as long as it isn’t life-threatening. And the police won’t come in to do anything about it.”
Ploszaj said he called 911 after witnessing a burglar break into his courtyard to steal a bike, the outlet reported. Then he said the dispatcher told him there was “nothing we can do” unless someone’s life is in danger.
He reportedly saw the same burglar a few days later, made eye contact, and called 911 again — to no avail.
Russell Kimble, who owns an auto shop on 12th Avenue and East Olive Street near the edge of the CHOP, told Q13 Fox that police “would not” respond to a break-in and confrontation at the business.
Other than that, it’s “mostly peaceful” as the media would say.
The mostly peaceful occupier in the next tweet is a member of the socialist John Brown Gun Club, a group that advocates violence:
One of the armed security for the Seattle “Autonomous Zone” has started a @gofundme because someone stole his gun kit. He identifies himself as part of the John Brown Gun Club, a group whose members died during the course of a terror attack last year. https://t.co/YBTeuWLlnZ pic.twitter.com/575YjQXDfZ

Andy Ngo tells the media the truth but, except for Fox News, they can’t hear.
I went on Fox News to discuss the criminal elements of the Seattle “Autonomous Zone” that is being obfuscated by left-wing media. #BlackLivesMatter #antifa https://t.co/UEz3uVR44i pic.twitter.com/55RdfjeS0R

When they’re not gardening, reading poetry, stealing guns, they wear orange peels on their face:

The media was harassed but you probably didn’t see that in print:

But it’s mostly safe and peaceful. Mayor Jenny and the mainstream media said so:
We are hearing from both Seattle @MayorJenny & the mainstream media that the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” is safe & peaceful. This is a half-truth. I spoke with Andrew Bolt about the zone’s links to violent extremism. #antifa #BlackLivesMatter Full: https://t.co/Xq6DEKWapt pic.twitter.com/ynEAKK6xh9

This occupier said they aren’t peaceful protesters, but we are not supposed to believe him:
“I’m not here to peacefully protest…Respond to the people or prepare to be met w/any means necessary.”
There have been a few of us talking about extremism within the Seattle BLM/antifa “Autonomous Zone.” We’ve been dismissed by many. Watch this: https://t.co/ose5NH6BON pic.twitter.com/glml77OYmW

Don’t believe their literature either:
Some of the radical literature casually given out inside the Seattle “Autonomous Zone.”
One pamphlet introduces readers to anarchist communism (antifa’s ideology). “In order to destroy the current order, there will need to be a revolution, a time of great upheaval.” pic.twitter.com/GE2Wxp16eH
