Portland's red house 'autonomous zone' dismantled after mayor apologizes
[NYPOST] The fenced-off, booby-trapped “autonomous zone” in Oregon has finally been dismantled after Portland’s mayor brokered a deal with protesters — and apologized to them.

The Twitter handle for those leading the protests at the “Red House on Mississippi” started calling for “comrades” to help “take these barricades down” Sunday night.

“Our work is not going unseen!” the protesters tweeted, hailing a deal between the city and the Kinneys, a black family whose eviction sparked the three-block barricade covered in Antifa and anti-cop graffiti.

“The mayor has promised the Kinney family that they will not raid Red House as long as the barricades are taken down by Monday night,” the group said.

The “autonomous zone” was set up on Tuesday though protests have been held at the site for the past three months.

Most of the barricades were gone by late Sunday, according to The Oregonian.

Mayor Ted Wheeler’s office confirmed that a deal had been struck, though it was not clear if the house was being sold back to the Kinneys, the family that was evicted after defaulting on a second mortgage taken out to pay a relative’s legal fees in a criminal case.
The house was purchased for $260,000 in 2018 by a Portland landlord at foreclosure, who intended to evict the family. The house was foreclosed after the family failed to pay the mortgage on the house. The family has described themselves as "sovereign citizens," an unorganized group of activists across Canada and the United States who subscribe to a pseudo-legal philosophy whereby they are only subject to British common law, but not statutory law. The sovereign citizens movement has been heavily associated with squatting.
Given that the Kinney family at the center of all the excitement are African-American, what odds that they are not self-radicalized, but members of the century-old Moorish Sovereign Citizens (also known as Indigenous Moors), that along with the Nation of Islam is a troublesome offshoot of the Moorish Science Temple cult has claimed that African-Americans (“Moors”) are the true original inhabitants of North America, and therefore exempt from American laws while being the true owners of all property within its borders. Also, they believe themselves to be Muslim, leaning heavily, like the Mormons, on long lost chapters of the Koran revealed to their founding prophet.
The family has since raised enough money to purchase the house themselves.

#1 Pleae note that the Family also has a second home so they are not exactly being kicked out to live on the street.
And what does the people who bought the house get? Is the h=Hapless Portland Taxpayer city going to pay them the current full value?
