The folks in the Seattle Autonomous Zone are getting a fast tutorial that not is all peace and roses just because you wish it to be.

Even choosing a name isn’t simple. People got upset that the name Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone was being used without most agreeing, so now it seems to be morphing into the CHOP, the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest.

There is a growing consensus to rename the area from the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” to the “Capitol Hill Occupied Protest.” An occupier is trying to remove one of the CHAZ street signs. pic.twitter.com/xgv7oiFsOF

They appear to be finding out that they may actually have to deal with issues, especially if you have a lot of radical leftists, homeless and even folks with mental issues.

Pro tip? That’s why most civilized societies developed police. Police were not developed as sources of oppression despite your radical professor telling you so.

Police Chief Carmen Best has said there are all kinds of violent crimes going on in the zone to which the police have not been able to respond including rapes and robberies.

But they certainly appeared to need police during what appeared to be a continuing altercation.

The confrontation continued in the CHAZ/CHOP as the “Christ Zone” guy accused someone of stealing his phone. A person came up and said, “Mental health, we got this.” To which another person said, “No, you don’t ‘got this!’”

Suddenly they appeared to have this guy on the ground.

“the autonomous zone has the right to reject you”

It’s not clear that he was actually in a chokehold but they did have weight on top of him in the following video and had him pressed into the ground when suddenly he started yelling, “You’re choking me.” They suddenly realized it was similar to the position George Floyd had been in and people yelled to get off him.

Once the occupiers realized they (a group of men)

were choking a man facedown on the street

They quickly disbursed

Definitely unhinged but this is what community policing looks like

But remember, mostly peaceful. Block party. Summer of love.
