    They are just in the street. It’s like a street fair almost. Local restaurants are thriving with it there since they are takeout only

    Families are playing in the parks. The only scary thing is lack of social distancing.

    Also there is a doctrine in Washington called public duty doctrine which would have your lawsuit thrown out

    Also I was there when the street preacher showed up at CHAZ. He was being aggressive towards people and trying to stir shit up.

    So ABM, thread started after watching FOX and seeing people in the right freak out. Oh no, armed militants pillaging and using violence to takeover America.

    now people from this site are reporting it’s peaceful and more like a fair. Plenty of photos and video of kids playing, face painting and communal meals being prepped.

    not saying it’s perfect for everyone, but doesn’t this actually seem like a reasonable and not so egregious way to protest the repeated murders of so may of our citizens? Weigh killing Blacks against a fair. Although I’m sure some of the music is terrible

    seems like you have been duped into believing this is a hostile threat to the USA while it’s actually an attempt to make us all more safe and free in the long run.

    FOX is TV Karen

    Members of African American Council are BOOED as they tell protesters in Seattle's 'autonomous zone' that they've 'hijacked' the Black Lives Matter movement by pushing other causes like higher taxes for Amazon
    • The women from the African American Community Advisory Council went to the zone to plead with protesters to work with the police department
    • Earlier this week, they overran the East Precinct and defaced it
    • Since then, armed guards have stood at checkpoints in the zone, known as CHAZ
    • Many of the protesters are white; people inside say it's more like a street-party with movie nights and free vegan pizza
    Two black female members of Seattle's African American Community Advisory Council were booed on Thursday as they told protesters inside the city's 'autonomous zone' that they have hijacked the Black Lives Matter movement.

    That certainly is possible and they should listen to the AA councils concerns. I dont agree with the Victim power play in giving $10 to prove loyalty.
    That isn’t needed imo. All that is needed is equal rights and respect for those that have been oppressed.

    I believe THE HCP just had his first post deleted by somebody. Is this where he starts a whole new separate thread complaining about it?

    I honestly don't remember what I posted. But I do know for a fact that it couldn't be any worse than the hate spewed around this place on the daily.

    fuck fox news for their lies and propaganda...that article is bullshit and fox has been forced to take down several pictures

    "For the most part, local officials seem content to simply wait, so long as the area stays peaceful.

    But peaceful is not what Fox News or OAN viewers are seeing, what visitors to right-wing blogs are reading, or what listeners to the vast array of right-wing radio stations are hearing. On those sources, the zone is not a small area where people are distributing free pizza and constructing a somewhat pitiful community garden—it’s a hotbed of violence where buildings are burning and people are dying.


    To support that position, Fox News hasn’t just been making up stories—it’s been manufacturing images and video. As the Seattle Times reports, Fox has “digitally altered” images to make the situation in the area seem dire. That includes putting together elements from multiple images to create a misleading collage, lifting signs and symbols from one area to impose them on another, and it means that many of the images Fox is using to present the image of chaos in Seattle … aren’t even from Seattle.


    Images that appear to show masked and armed men inside the zone are in fact composites taken on different dates and in different places. Burning buildings are actually from shots taken in St. Paul during the first days of the protests there. Some of the pictures Fox has merged together in their “coverage” of the current Seattle are actually two weeks old—or elements from two-week old pictures have been inserted into current scenes to make the situation appear worse than it is.


    Fox has also continued to report, and other sources have repeated, claims that businesses inside the zone are being extorted for protection payments, even after the police chief in Seattle investigated these claims and found nothing to them
    ."

    https://www.dailykos.com/stories/20...t-stand-the-fact-that-Seattle-is-not-in-chaos

    it's pathetic that fox news is doing this, though completely expected. It's doubly pathetic that anybody would believe their bullshit and spread it around

    You realize if I was to link you to your deleted posts, you couldn't see them, right?

    Because, you know, they've been deleted?
