Police and firefighters vacated their premises and bugged out with a Twitter blessing from Mayor Jenny Durkan. Durkan dithered over the descent of protests into violence for a week before doing much, and when she did much, her choice was to tweet in hasty retreat.<\/p>\n<p>Anarchists quickly set up CHAZ to be and do its own thing, as long as that thing conformed with diktats of the CHAZ hierarchy.<\/p>\n<p>They put up makeshift signs saying, \u201cYou are now leaving the U.S.A.\u201d They appropriated stolen barricades from America, which they despise. To paraphrase a former president, CHAZ did not build that. Or anything else.<\/p>\n<p>The CHAZ collective thanked the mayor for her gift of a six-block area of America the mayor does not personally own (and which includes about 500 homes of actual Americans) by storming city hall and demanding that she resign unless she disbands the police.<\/p>\n<p><em>Demonstrators remained peaceful, without reports of violence or injuries, but are pushing Mayor Jenny Durkan to step down if she refuses to defund the city\u2019s police department.<\/p>\n<p>The protesters continued to camp out in a self-declared \u201cCapitol Hill Autonomous Zone\u201d (CHAZ)\u2013 a region spanning six blocks and encompassing the precinct\u2013 which has effectively been abandoned by law enforcement after the Seattle Police Department closed the East Precinct on Monday.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Well.<\/p>\n<p>An eagle-eyed tweeter spotted an urgent problem developing in the secessionist CHAZ collective: The homeless stole all their food.<\/p>\n<p>Call the police!<\/p>\n<p>Right \u2014 CHAZ wants to disband the police. The police are over in America anyway, and American police have no obligation to help secessionist CHAZ.<\/p>\n<p>CHAZ has no farms or orchards. CHAZ is paved over with streets and buildings. CHAZ cannot feed itself.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to being dependent on America, which it despises, CHAZ is a hypocritical anarchist collective. It wants to enforce its borders.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Heh.
