On its face, Seattle’s new “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” is a leftist failure.
The self-proclaimed socialist commune covering six blocks of the city’s downtown is filthy and crime-ridden. There are food shortages and the area, established as a protest of supposed police violence, is patrolled by a vigilante police force that brutally assaults people for non-violent crimes like graffiti.

It’s also a virtual outdoor gun show, with many of the 20-something residents openly brandishing AR-15s, dubbed “assault rifles” by the media.
It’s something liberals hope no one notices, because it’s blowing apart a key tenet of the liberal agenda.
There are no gun laws in force. The “John Brown Gun Club,” an organization of leftists who back gun rights and condemn gun control as racist, flocked to Seattle to take part in the protests while armed with loaded rifles.
The Zone’s self-proclaimed enforcer, a rapper named Raz Simone, has been handing out loaded rifles to anyone who will take them, including young leftists who have no idea how to handle one.
While that’s one of the worst examples of responsible gun ownership, there’s also something else going on.
No gun crime.
After eight days of tense, angry residents openly carrying loaded rifles in downtown Seattle, there have been no murders or intentional shootings.
There have also been no accidental shootings, despite the fact many have no experience handling firearms. That may be a product of the John Brown Gun Club offering safety tips.
But it begs the question. If leftist revolutionaries committed to arson and rioting can openly carry firearms in downtown areas, with no shootings, then why are cities stripping that right from responsible gun owners?

It’s a long advanced lie that socialists and communists hate guns and don’t want citizens to have them. The real truth is that they actually promote people having guns, as long as the people who have guns think the same way that they do. They are the ultimate hypocrites. Jane Fonda once said when the police found her with a gun and asked her about it “Oh, that’s for other people not us.” referring to her and her husband at the time, Tom Hayden.
As is said, communists are just socialists with guns.
An interesting question has been posed.
Like most DemonRATS, they didn’t plan ahead. Now they are going hungry. That’s the up, and funny side of it.
I read not too long ago there was a shooting in the Chop neighborhood, one killed, one wounded. I’m not sure I can show link to story on here but it is online.
Yes, more info please? Don’t know what happened to the bod(ies) but the Police were not allowed in the area, so how did they dispose of the body and get the other to a hospital? I haven’t heard anything.
So, leftist thug guns are ok, but law abiding citizens guns are not. Got it!
I think their masks are cutting off to much oxygen!
” If leftist revolutionaries committed to arson and rioting can openly carry firearms in downtown areas, with no shootings, then why are cities stripping that right from responsible gun owners?” Because an unarmed populace is so much easier to CONTROL than an ARMED populace; that is the reasoning Benjamin Franklin had for writing the Second Amendment into the Constitution……. just for situations like what is going on in Seattle this very minute. If you are wondering about guns and gun safety, look to Switzerland, the citizens are REQUIRED to learn how to handle a firearm SAFELY in their youth, and a vast majority carry a firearm there (and they are one of the lowest, if not THE lowest, nation with crimes involving firearms in the world). This country would be a whole lot safer, in my opinion, if we ARMED EVERY CITIZEN; sure would even things out! Food for thought!!!
MarcoBob: James Madison wrote the 2A, not old Ben. And Switzerland recently passed limiting gun ownership, so that dreamland faded away…. But I agree with your stand.
As of Saturday, 20 Jun, there was….one dead, and several injured
in this “utopia” called CHAZ (aka, CHOP)….and guns were involved
….with these “20 somethings”…pulling the triggers.
Last night 1 dead, 1 injured. SO……………………..
Well, you are sadly mistaken. There has been one murder and one other shot who is in critical condition at a local hospital. Why were they shot? Who shot them? The Seattle police cannot get in the commie zone to investigate and the commies certainly will not say what is going on.
Anarchy does not work too well. The Seattle mayor and Washington Governor now have blood on their hands, and are doing nothing to remedy the lawlesness.
These people are guarding something that does not belong to them. It was stolen. They need to give it back or it needs to be taken back. NOW! This has gone on long enough.
Black lives do matter and so does white ones and so did that little three-year-old that didn’t have a chance to live who is going to have the balls to step up and say take the national guard in there and clean up the streets and to burn the flag it made me sick
The shit is about to hit the fan…..
