After just over 48 hours, the “Seattle Autonomous Zone” or “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ)” has a reported food shortage, an allegedly overbearing warlord, and a 30-point list of demands for Seattle lawmakers, which include defunding and abolishing the police, emptying prisons, funding a fully socialist healthcare system, and making college free for Seattle residents.
The group, which took over a four-block radius of Seattle earlier in the week, erecting barriers taken from the Seattle Public Works department, and stationing armed guards at entrances, is being allowed to remain in charge of the CHAZ, which includes an abandoned police precinct, by Seattle authorities.
