    @jeffbr weigh in please.

    My sister lives there and she says that the police leaving was strategic in that the protesters have no one to yell at.

    I'll tell you this that when I was back there in 18 the police weren't allowed to do alot in the first place so not sure how bad it was there racially?

    everything that i have seen across the entire duration of the protests was the police escalating tensions and acting against non violent protesters. with no police maybe they will restore the calm on their own.

    Capital Hills is (was) a trendy, affluent expensive neighborhood near university of washington.  Apartments start at around $500K.  Houses around $1M.  It's a great place to set up camp.  I'm sure they have good WiFi.  Best places to live in Seattle:

    Ballard
    Capital Hill
    West Seattle
    Belltown

    I'm sure this will all go well.  I say let em' have it and let's see what happens.

    I guess the Team Trump Treason experiment wasn't interesting or ruinous enough for you? So, tell us professor, who's behind the Occupy CHAZ Movement?

    "Seattle has fallen" will probably be the first words out of Tucker Carlson's mouth tonight. I think that's a bit of hyperbole. I think Seattle's leaders are like "Whatever, let these people have their little protest and we'll keep out of it because we've seen how well intervening has gone around the country."

    That said, I think the whole thing is ridiculous. People walking around with AR-15's and shit. The same liberals that decry that sort of thing don't seem to mind in this instance. Hopefully nobody gets hurt.

    How should I know who is behind it? Isn’t it just free people setting up a new progressive police-free utopia? Either way it is super cool and I can’t wait to see how it will all play out.

    How many protesters there are walking around with AR-15's?  Is this a common sight there?  Is having protesters there carry such weapons there generally accepted or encouraged?

    I'm not sure, I'm just going off a few pictures. I don't think it should be accepted or encouraged though. What can make a peaceful protest go south faster than high-powered guns?

    They should probably start digging some wells.  You know, for water in their new country.  Going to take time to fill the toilet reservoir up with Dasani. 

    Just some helpful tips.

    The one picture or several?  What have you read about protesters there carry these and other weapons there?

    Only the ones guarding the perimeter wall And checking ID’s are carrying. Don’t listen to Ledbetterman10 Brian...just because they have a border wall, demand ID, and carry assault weapons it doesn’t mean shit. It is a progressive utopia and it will be awesome.
