‘Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone’ Reportedly Has Armed Community Patrol; Mayor’s Office Responds

The six-block area in Seattle surrounding the East Precinct known as the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” now reportedly has an armed community patrol.

As Kim Kelly, the labor columnist at Teen Vogue, writes at the Daily Beast, “Comparisons have predictably been drawn between CHAZ and the Occupy movement, but in the place also known as Free Capitol Hill, there is one crucial distance: this time, some of the protesters are armed.”
