(Ben Sellers, Liberty Headlines) Reports that Antifa-linked elements had www.libertyheadlines.com/antifa-take-seattle- city-hall/">effectively seized part of downtown Seattle and were holding it hostage sounded more like the Middle-Eastern ISIS attacks of the Obama era than our own freedom-loving nation.
Overnight developments revealed that the lawless “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” had devolved further into a Lord-of-the- Flies-style nightmarish landscape, complete with its own warlord chief, roving gangs of armed bandits extorting businesses for a Mafia-like protection fee, and a formal list of 19 radical demands.
Shockingly, much of the mainstream media had yet to report on the story, leaving conservative journalists like Andy Ngo and Townhall writer Julio Rosas, as well as embedded photojournalist Alex Garland, to report from the front lines.
President Donald Trump had taken notice, however, and warned far- left Gov. Jay Inslee to “take back your city NOW,” or else federal authorities would be obliged to dispatch military force to suppress the insurrection.
Radical Left Governor @JayInslee and the Mayor of Seattle are being taunted and played at a level that our great Country has never seen before. Take back your city NOW. If you don’t do it, I will. This is not a game. These ugly Anarchists must be stooped IMMEDIATELY. MOVE FAST!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 11, 2020
But Inslee, who at one point was a Democrat presidential contender, shrugged off the anarchist takeover of his state’s largest city and responded to Trump instead by mocking a typographical error.

Warlords and Tribunals
Among the most surreal stories from the autonomous zone (CHAZ) was the emergence of a local rapper, Raz Simone, as the warlord–chieftain, according to reports from nationalfile.com/seattle-autonomous- zone-warlord-creates-private-police-force-gets-dubbed-black-george- zimmerman/">the National File based on Twitter dispatches from the scene.
After the protesters—in collaboration with city officials—forced police to abandon the precinct rather than be permitted to use crowd-dispersal techniques such as tear gas, Simone and his posse of thugs undertook efforts to start their own police force—ironically, using guns and violent beat-downs to maintain their authority.

Meanwhile, according to the other police, who still maintained control of the remainder of the city for now, businesses within the six-block “autonomous” zone were being threatened with extortion.

Although establishments in the popular restaurant and bar district initially tried to support the movement by offering supplies like food, water and first-aid to protesters, they now were being told they must pay tributes to the radical separatists in order to continue operating.
“We’ve heard, anecdotally, reports of citizens and businesses being asked to pay a fee to operate within this area,” Deanna Nollette, Seattle’s assistant chief of police, said Wednesday, according www.foxnews.com/us/seattle-protests-armed-guards- local-businesses-extortion">to Fox News.
“This is the crime of extortion,” Nollette continued. “If anyone has been subjected to this, we need them to call 911.”
‘Begging for Help’
It remained unclear whether law-enforcement authorities intended to act or were even capable of doing so after abandoning their precinct station.
Nollette explained that the police had intended to promote peaceful demonstrations by withdrawing from the area.
“We wanted to be able to facilitate and support peaceful demonstrations,” she said.
But since then, an armed guard has surrounded the perimeter and is requiring residents who live there to show ID in order to prove that they belong in the area.
An unnamed official told Fox News that residents were “”begging for help because they are not being allowed into their homes without ID.”
Nonetheless, the separatist left-wingers seem to take pride in maintaining some municipal services, such as their own garbage collection.
Poster Comment:
What is going on in Seattle is pure anarchy.
Anarchists bombed the statue of a policeman in Haymarket Square in Chicago on May 04, 1886.
On top of all this they are trying to extract protection money from businesses. Someone should tell them it has been done before during Prohibition, and when the real Gangsters ran things most everywhere.
