[American Thinker] - The news out of Seattle is that Antifa has captured a seven-block area in central Seattle that they've dubbed the Capital Hill Autonomous Zone, or CHAZ for short.

Given the protests (read: riots) across the country over the past two weeks and the feckless (at best) handling of said riots by leftist mayors and governors, that Seattle permitted this to occur is not surprising.

Seattle's Mayor, Jenny Durkan all-but encouraged the takeover of her city

... it's not about justice. It's about rubbing raw the sores of discontent, as Saul Alinsky asserted in Rules for Radicals. Rubbing these sores, as their tactic goes, energizes the most radical elements of the movement.

Seattle suburbanites have been tacitly down with the struggle, as they have wanted to present their "wokeness" bona fides to their more radical leftist brethren. These woke suburbanites need to be exposed.

Let Antifa have as much land mass as it can acquire through the weekend, invite as many of its brethren to enter the autonomous zone as it wishes, then cordon off their booty and blockade any and all raw materials and supplies from entering the, ahem, zone.

Setup a checkpoint, à la East Berlin, and require any and all those wishing to return to America to pledge allegiance to our Constitution and our flag. Those unwilling to re-enter civil society can remain in the autonomous zone until they come to their senses or perish.

Seattle suburbanites need to be made to suffer for the consequences of their choices at the ballot box. You want to subvert our Constitution, attempt to run roughshod over civil society? Pay the price.

#1 Deliver a set of Guillotines with complete instructions for assembly and use.

Maybe some tumbrils also. "You say you want a revolution..."

#2 Mogadishu on Puget Sound? Much could be learned in such an experiment.

#3 Nothing has ever been learned from such "experiments" in the past, or there would not be so many dupes and derps still wanting to try again.

#4 Precisely. Socialism comes to mind straight away.

#5 Let Seattle stew in its own excrement

Bad idea. Sh*t breeds contagion. Clean it up and disinfect, removing the disease vectors, AKA elected officials allowing and encouraging this aberration.

#6 And remember! COVID-19 is said to be alive in human excrement. (Just "following the science". /sarc)

#7 Set up a bounty system. $100/pair of ears. Let the market work.

#8 /\ I should have added the /sarc tag, if for no other reason than to cover my ass. Maybe this is an 'asking for a friend' moment.

#9 They've been checking IDs, eh? Then they should have no problem with collection of their DNA and biometrics when this little escapade is over.

#10 I hope these little Lenins keep it up past the election. The Republicans should have a daily press conference/status update highlighting residents' rights violated, economy devastated, crimes committed and disease spread. Anyone who leaves must be thoroughly vetted and if participated in this insurrection, charged to the full extent of the law. Give them what they want, good and hard, and sell tickets to the resulting circus.

I think once white flight sets in, and the businesses close, negotiations between the city and the "chazsters" will be fruitful.

Hmm not /sarc, I need a tag for s-eating grin...

#12 A "Special Court" with an electric chair set right in front of the judge's bench should get their attention.

#13 And blame the Democrats at every opportunity for fostering this break down of civilized behavior and law.

#14 I like the idea of beginning the process of revoking their US citizenship.

#15 I think once white flight sets in

Most of the whites living there voted for this.

Let them sink.

#16 Skilled revolutionary leaders know that a really good bloodbath and martyrs are a huge boost to growing zeal, especially given our progressive monopoly of the mainstream media and social media to give supportive coverage. I agree with the removal of this cancer immediately but in ways that provide nothing to be photo-op’d into another Floyd moment. Like Flynn being dragged on to troll for a Pardon that will be touted as proof or corruption, a Seattle bloodbath will let them sell November as a vote against Trump, since only a clueless idiot or mindless partisan would vote for a senile pervert and the BLM/Antifa Soros tool standing in the wings.

#18 They got bailed out with free service by the very people they despise and denounced.

Why would that demoralize them?

If anything, they've learned that tribute will be paid.

I guess we could send somebody in a time machine back to the thirteenth century, and they could tell Genghis Khan how he's really losing the argument, despite his seeming success.

Is Ben Shapiro available?

#19 There are 500 private homes caught up in all this, apparently.
