Antifa conquers and now rules a chunk of Seattle; Police SURRENDER police station and withdraw; List of Antifa DEMANDS.


They're not yet as large or violent, but this is reminiscent of when ISIS took and held territory, transitioning from just being a terrorist group to a sort of nation state.

"Hundreds of protesters, aided by a sympathetic City Council member, stormed Seattle's City Hall Tuesday night to demand the mayor's resignation, just days after seizing a six-block downtown zone that includes a shuttered police precinct."

"The protesters continued to camp out in a self-declared “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” (CHAZ)-- a region spanning six blocks and encompassing the precinct-- which has effectively been abandoned by law enforcement after the Seattle Police Department closed the East Precinct on Monday."

"The antifa terrorists are advocating for “folks with firearms” to take shifts defending the barricades.

The Antifa group set up barricades at the border and certain areas for dining and public speech."

Their list of demands is too long to copy here, but I'll cite a few examples:

"The Seattle Police Department and attached court system are beyond reform. We do not request reform, we demand abolition. We demand that the Seattle Council and the Mayor defund and abolish the Seattle Police Department and the attached Criminal Justice Apparatus. This means 100% of funding, including existing pensions for Seattle Police. At an equal level of priority we also demand that the city disallow the operations of ICE in the city of Seattle."

"We demand a retrial of all People in Color currently serving a prison sentence for violent crime, by a jury of their peers in their community."

"We demand the abolition of imprisonment, generally speaking, but especially the abolition of both youth prisons and privately-owned, for-profit prisons."

"We demand autonomy be given to the people to create localized anti-crime systems."

"We demand that the funding previously used for Seattle Police be redirected into: A) Socialized Health and Medicine for the City of Seattle. B) Free public housing, because housing is a right, not a privilege. C) Public education, to decrease the average class size in city schools and increase teacher salary. D) Naturalization services for immigrants to the United States living here undocumented. (We demand they be called “undocumented” because no person is illegal.) E) General community development. Parks, etc."

"We demand the de-gentrification of Seattle, starting with rent control."

"We demand the restoration of city funding for arts and culture to re-establish the once-rich local cultural identity of Seattle."

"We demand the hospitals and care facilities of Seattle employ black doctors and nurses specifically to help care for black patients."

"We demand the people of Seattle seek out and proudly support Black-owned businesses. Your money is our power and sustainability."

"We demand that the history of Black and Native Americans be given a significantly greater focus in the Washington State education curriculum."

"We demand that thorough anti-bias training become a legal requirement for all jobs in the education system, as well as in the medical profession and in mass media."

Well. So much for the "anarchism" fig leaf. That list includes ethnic cleansing (of whites), state socialism, mandatory indoctrination for holding even private sector jobs, replacing police and prisons accountable to concrete, citizen-passed laws with a localized Somalia warlord model, mandating racial discrimination in numerous fields including outright segregation in healthcare, likely guaranteeing blacks receive lower quality care (contradicting their ostensible concern for disparate racial outcomes in other areas), making the already leftist education system even more about indoctrination, housing shortages predictably caused by price controls, and open insurrection against the federal government.

Dispensed with are freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and just about every other freedom.

Given the coddling and even supplies it's received at taxpayer expense, it's hard to imagine it'll be the only one of its kind.
