Yesterday they were reaching out to anyone that was armed that could come down and help secure "their area". And now, protected somehow by a far left gun club. I thought they wanted to get rid of guns?
What's going on here is insanity. And they are purposely allowing this and standing back. Does anyone own property within that 6 block area? And what are they now supposed to do, with the government allowing this to happen? Oh, be extorted!
Oh, and didn't the MSM just go to lengths to state that antifa hasn't been involved, and not involved in any violence?
And so called leaders in that area are "working with them". WTF?

No Police, Extortion Of Private Businesses: Inside The Latest On Seattle’s Downtown ‘Autonomous Zone’
Seattle police say they are not responding to calls for assistance while armed protesters operate checkpoints and have declared a portion of the city as “cop-free” and an “autonomous zone.”
The area is called the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) by the forces who have occupied it, KOMO News reported Thursday morning.
Antifa-affiliated groups and armed members of the far-left John Brown Gun Club seized control of the neighborhood, according to the City-Journal, which also reports that they set up barricades with a cardboard sign declaring “you are now leaving the USA.”
President Donald Trump has called the activists “domestic terrorists” and as urged Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan to deal with the problem in her backyard, Durkan told Trump Thursday to “to go back to your bunker.” Trump urged both the Washington governor and mayor to “take back your city NOW.”
The “liberated” area is situated around the precinct that police abandoned Monday night as rioting engulfed the city. A Minneapolis police precinct went up in flames when protests, rioting and looting rocked that city in the wake of George Floyd’s death.
The police are attempting to link up with the “leaders” of the autonomous zone in order to make some kind of accommodation and bring police back into the area, Seattle Assistant Police Chief Deanna Nolette told KOMO.
Nolette reportedly said that police are not responding to calls for assistance.
“Right now, we are on priority calls only, which means the people, city wide who need a police response are not receiving it,” Nolette said. “That to us is just not acceptable”.
Nolette did not explain why police are refusing most calls when asked by KOMO.
She claimed the protesters are operating checkpoints with armed guards.
“While Washington is an open carry state, there is no legal right for those arms to be used to intimidate community members,” Nolette said.
“We have heard anecdotally of citizens and businesses being asked to pay a fee to operate within this area, this is crime of extortion,” Nolette told KOMO.
