#1 " armed guards have been surrounding the perimeter of the region and residents who live within the boundaries are "forced to show ID to prove you "belong" there," a law enforcement official told Fox News."

So equal protection for the residents of this are is essentially gone.

Property and business owners in the US will now have to assess the likelihood of their local governments ceding their neighborhood to totalitarian. extortionist militias, at least temporarily.

CHAZ itself may be small, but the signal is clear.

Local governments have found a way to mete out devastating punishment to citizens.

#2 Local governments have found a way to mete out devastating punishment to citizens.

For voting in these local governments - virtue signalling is expensive.

#3 The anarcho-tyrannical punishment would be directed at neighborhoods who didn't vote for the party in charge.

Also the new power structures in the ceded areas would enforce conformity unimpeded by civil & human rights restrictions to government power.

The ~~Duck~~ Duke of CHAZ is the local government's sock puppet. CHAZ and the Office of ~~Duck~~ Duke of CHAZ exist at the pleasure of the local government.

#4 Sounds like taxation to me.

Pay up or bad things happen.

When do they open their first jail, or is there one at the "precinct"?

#6 I'd love to know what an insurer says when you file a claim for "being forced off your property for not paying extortion."

#9 Needs lot and lots of bee hives dropped from the air

Huge swarms of robot bees, this being the 21st century and all. They either sting you with a tranquilizing euphoric or give you a little poot of tear gas in the face.

#11 I am so glad that Twitter and Facebook didn't exist when I was growing up. No one will be able to look back and say "In 1965, he said ..."
