SEATTLE, WA—Seattle protesters have successfully abolished the police in their “autonomous zone.” In their place, the leaders of the group have installed squads of armed officers who are tasked with enforcing a set of agreed-upon rules.
“We have achieved a police-free utopia,” said one of the group’s leaders, Taz “No Rulez” McGuffin. “Now, we are going to need someone to do the job of enforcing the rules we all decide upon and making sure everybody’s safe. Instead of oppressive police, let’s select a few individuals — we’ll call them ‘officers’ maybe — and give them guns. They can patrol the area and stop anyone who goes against our set of laws — err, guidelines.”
“Having thrown off the shackles of the oppressive police, we now welcome these new guideline enforcement officers.”
Everyone was treated the same in the utopia of equality, at least for a few hours. The leaders decided that they should have some special protections under the new guidelines and perhaps some way to collect mandatory voluntary donations from everybody to fund their efforts. Eventually, the leaders of the autonomous zone went and met with the mayor, who agreed to accept them back into Seattle proper and give the leaders cushy consulting jobs in the government.
Go here to read the rest. This June will be recalled as the month we learned that the Democrat Party is only too willing to protect violent rioters from any consequences for their action. They form a motley political army for the Democrats to terrorize their adversaries. Well, I do not feel terror, but I do feel anger, and I trust I am not alone in that sentiment. The people seeking to transform our nation by violence might wish to take the anger they are inspiring into their calculations, but, sadly, they will not, until it is likely far too late.
No surprise. Seattle is a Liberal mecca and utopia where all the “virtues” of Progressivism are are full display. What will be done about this? Little to nothing is my guess. And it will encourage the same thing in other Democrat strongholds.
What are we to do? Applying for concealed carry comes to mind. And maybe Trump’s best re-election strategy is a return to law and order.
Well, people are ruled at the consent of the governed? So whatever. Treat them as a separate nation. Demand passports and visas in order to enter the US. Start negotiating trade agreements. Let nature takes its course.
This new city within Seattle is the Gay Mecca of Seattle area – located near the Cal Anderson’s Park. Cal Anderson was an original Gay Rights Activist who died of AIDS. This is not an African American neighborhood, and only a few blacks are involved in this take over. It is the gay community in Seattle that is doing this and with the blessings of Gay/Lesbian Mayor. I feel sorry for the blacks in Seattle who have had their suffering hijacked by the Gay Rights Movement.
Please note the chief of police is African American. The Chief of the Fire Department in Seattle is African American. They are in disagreement with this new city within a city or disbanding the police departments.
