The TRUTH on the ground inside CHAZ CHOP Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone Seattle Washington

Was asked the people of CHAZ, a police and government free zone established around BLM Black Lives Matter and the mourning of George Floyd, why were they taking over Seattle. We have travelled to many regions globally containing oppressed people, and the message is often misinterpreted by the institutional media and government. This is what we found in Seattle on the ground, from the people.
This is weekly vlog series from behind the scenes adventures of the 1iOpen film crew as they produce stories from some of the most remote and wildest parts of the planet... We bought the ticket, you take the ride!

“Wonderfully woke” Too damn funny. She should go back to sleep.

[@bakerfresh]

She didn't even call it off when there were multiple murders, the latter from the Chaz's own policing force. It was when other city council members came to protest her house that she needs to resign for not being more woke. She then stopped it. And made a statement that, basically another concilperson with different views calling for her removal was unacceptable. She got that job for being openly lesbian because the openly gay mayor didn't work out because of pedo charges. The same council was later known from their having brought a Trans stripper to strip during a luncheon to stop the homelessness.

Is anyone asking any residents that already lived there prior to this establishing itself?

[@MXFmedia]

I have a friend whose very close to that location and checked out the place... mostly their response is that CHAZ is being united, less brutality, and focus on Black Lives... but as someone whose outside of that I really don't think that's the whole truth :( There is propoganda going on, majority in the community won't show violence even though there is. No police in the location, but there are people who are policing in that area.. no food from government, but food is being brought by people ordering food from companies that pays taxes to government and stores that is right at or in the boarder zone have been looted because of the community needing food. The garden is soo sad, no one knows how to plant plants or know enough that it takes time and labor to do it as well as motivation. I could step in, but if they want my camera or phone for the communities safe zone, that's not giving me freedom to really show what actually goes one. I don't trust handing my babies (cameras) to others or having people follow me to make sure I'm only showing the good things and not the bad. This entire situation is ridiculous and sadly funny, because US is supposed to be a free country, but in this small group they want to be a third country.. it's like Animal farm happening within a freedom country.. I can see a lot of Third country actions going on in this community.. Sorry for the long comment. Also, this video shows a bit of questionable actions in the community of CHAZ. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6qYmWiappZno68

It's so difficult to form a real opinion on this. I hear what they're saying, but I almost feel like I should make the trip out there and talk to people, one on one. My biggest fear is that it won't last.....the peace will collapse within the borders. Right now I would feel safe entering there, without having to watch my back, but how long will that last? I believe things need to change, but these types of changes take time. Bottom line is you can't please everyone. It would be great if everyone could just look at each other equally, but it'll never happen. There will always be ignorance and hate, but I believe we can make most of that go away. Thank you for this inside look into CHAZ. Great video as always!

"We can police ourselves" ? How does that work then ? What happens when there is a rape or a murder ? Who apprehends and tries the perpetrator? In the Walking Dead tv show the communities end up hanging criminals without a trial. How are the leaders appointed here? Why are they using parts of a city that the taxpayer paid for and owns ? Give them a patch of barren dirt to live on and build on. See how far they get. These buildings and streets aren't their property. Where are the people who own and work in those buildings and businesses? Where is the water and food coming from? They think the water supply (which costs money to be maintained and supplied ) should be free? Cut this area off from the taxpayer, the judicial system, the police and any form of outside help with food and water supply and see how long they last. Also, hand out copies of George Orwell's Animal Farm to them.

Other then pushing themselves into a helpless neighborhood and running off the police how are they contributing to this area. Most people have been out of work for months.
