During five undercover days and nights in the zone, I witnessed a continuing experiment in anarchy, chaos and brute-force criminality. In order to avoid being exposed as a journalist — several reporters have been barred or expelled — I slept and showered outside the zone. (Those inside have no showers but they do have portable bathrooms.) I took meals, and most of my water breaks, elsewhere because I was reluctant to remove my mask and risk being recognized.

Gee…I wonder why fire and rescue wouldn’t want to go get beat to death with skateboards by a mob of communists?
Seattle needs to elect more democrats to fix this!

Somewhere, William Golding is smiling…

Andy Ngo is despised by the Antifa. He is perhaps their most loathed opponent after Trump. It took a lot of balls to do what he did.
Next they will be ripping masks off of each other,seeking to expose Andy..
A whole new game”Where is Andy?”
Probably a little more wholesome than “Victim of the Hour”.
Maybe Warlord Raz should keep annexing city blocks until they liberate a hospital. Then they can have free health care for all!
There is a hospital a few blocks west over on 15th Ave
They built that, let them enjoy it. If blue lives don’t matter, then blue lives have no reason to risk anything for you.
Where was the Government of CHOP’s “security” Force? In bed, sleeping at 3am … following HER example?
Seattle Like Canada is getting exactly what they voted for.
Boring as hell comment……even I could come up with this one while my eyes were still closed. Exercise your God-given talents and come up with something new Y.
“Canada” did not vote for Junior – a small majority did – and now with George interfering in Canada (as well as other western countries) we’re all in this mess.
Now, if you could come up with an easy way to eliminate George, BLM, Antifa etc., let’s hear it – Ynot give us the benefit of your brain power outside “this is what Canada voted for”.
And Hillary won the popular vote. Non sequitur. The result is what matters, what parties work towards given the system.
That’s why Trump barnstormed swing states in the final days of the 2016 campaign.
The same voters who turfed Martin for Harper turfed him for Trudeau, the 905 belt. Harper got more votes than Trudeau.
None of that matters.

Tell them to keep voting Democrat.
There is no connection between voting for Marxist idiots and getting this type of fiasco.
None at all.
They might learn the hard way..
1st. step: Refuse to wear body cams.
2nd. step: Bring in the snipers.
3rd. step: Take back town.
4th. step: Quit.
Yes because cop sucking is the only solution to cops not doing their fucking jobs and politicians preventing them from doing their jobs on the odd occasion they actually want to do the job. Cameras should be mandatory every time a cop puts its uniform on.
In Portland (Antifa central) cops dismantled the no go zone and that was that. No sniper was needed. Just do your fucking job and stop crying when your thugish behavior is pointed out to you. You’re overpaid low IQ drones to start with.
Get help…quickly.
I think you are a mental case. Watch your mouth too. Your ignorance is only eclipsed by your infantile babbling. Oh…and by the way, if you think cameras help prove police “brutality”, you are much dumber than I thought. Cops like wearing them because it provides evidence in their favor. Get lost, imbecile.
“if you think cameras help prove police “brutality””
No you poor victim of ocular penetration. Cameras don’t prove police brutality, they prevent it. Cameras largely prevent JBTs from acting out their occupation force fantasies, because JBTs know they are being recorded and they will not be able to later perjure themselves in court. That’s why they hate cameras and fight tooth and nail not to be required to wear them. Clear enough dunce? Or too many syllables?
Well, Colon, seems you’ve exposed a couple of leftists. They only have ad-hom arguments and lies. It’s pretty much the same as one sees on twitter when Trump does something.
“Blue Man Good!” idiots.
4th step: Go back for the gutless wonders at city hall.
5th step: Give the city’s criminal class 24 hours to pack their petty personal belongings and leave the city for good.
6th step: Offer cash rewards to all law-abiding city dwellers who bring in the dead bodies of any thug refusing to comply with 5th step above.
7th step: Make all civilian city employees re-apply for their jobs. Nobody involved in making excuses for thugs need bother.
8th step: Collect all evidence needed to indict the corrupt civilian city council for charges of fraud, embezzlement, and conspiracy with local criminal gangs sufficient to ensure they spend many years in a prison far from the city.
9th step: Hold new elections, with only candidates whose commitment to law and order is not in question encouraged to run. (If no civilian candidate can be found, nominate a member of the police union in good standing.) Post an armed cop at every polling station, to discourage voter fraud.
10th step: Offer all reasonable assistance to free enterprise’s efforts to rebuild the city—starting with the repeal of all Wuhan-flu related restrictions on honest business.
0th step, start an asbestos removal business, face masks optional.
L-Defunding the police soon means fighting your own fires and getting yourself to the hospital.
When the businesses close down and move away. There will be no tax base to fund the fire department or hospital or medical staff.
Selling your devalued property, at any price, is going to be a challenge w/o insurance policies.
The inter-relationship between institutions and a civilized, prosperous and peaceful society will become starkly real and visible in their absence.
Rights on one side, responsibilities on the other side makes up the coin of the realm.
“The People’s Temple” is just a version of running away from home when you’re five years old.
Didn’t get any help Raz? Call a social worker.
Andy Ngo definitely has a great deal of courage, considering what was done to him by Antifa a while back. They know his face and they despise him. Had he been discovered, he might also have been killed, or at least mangled into a quadriplegic! Over the short term, they appear to have been successful, and are probably in good spirits about their coup. In the long term, what on earth do they expect to happen? Eventually the donations will dry up as their patrons move on to newer causes, leaving them hungry! Without continuing support, they will either start demanding “Fee’s” from visitors, or openly robbing anyone that appears to have any money, eventually driving them away as well. After that, it will be the law of the jungle for those really committed, and the lesser groupies will slink away diminishing their numbers as well.
Perhaps fresh Antifa troops will be cycled in over time, but I don’t think they are organized for the long term! They have not really thought this through. Funny how they do thing that mirror everything they despise, borders, armed guards, keeping out non permitted people and groups such as journalists, police, other non desirable types better known as illegal or undocumented people. Or warlords, exercising control by brute force. They are still using the the enemy’s currency, the Hospitals, the amenities, water, electricity, porta-potty sanitation all provided! Who is paying the bills? Who will continue to pay the bills? What happens if there is disease, plague, or Covid? Diseases could migrate up from the San Francisco or LA homeless areas. The sanitation is not great, will they start eating the rats, or will the rats eat them, and so on. Will they get as far as “extortion” better to call it taxation, to maintain their position!
At some point the larger “Authorities”, the US government, or State government will need to step in with overwhelming force to regain control and rescue the original inhabitants or hostages! They cannot let this stand. Will this result in a localized civil war that could devolve into a larger country wide upheaval? What happens when the season changes, Seattle has “Weather”, the rains and cold, snow…… We do indeed, live in interesting times!
This reminds me of the “Occupy” Protests of a few years back. And smalldeadanimals posted a story from doctors of treating medieval diseases which they had only read of in their textbooks while in med school. This also happened during the “summer of love” in 1967 – lots of venereal disease and medieval diseases.
FYI – my idea of camping is a 2 star hotel.
Three star minimum. Our idea of camping at our favoured campsite had tents springing up like mushrooms. Big one for parents; smaller ones for offsprings. Kitchen tent as well, which covered picnic bench and large old Coleman stove. That – for me – beats a two-star special.
Those were the good days. We spent our days swimming, hiking, reading (everyone had a bag of books), and generally relaxing. Also, at various times, learning to identify the various flora and fauna. The offsprings still remember those days as being great.
I know it’s the “in thing” these days to decry the loss of educational knowledge because of two months’ away from school but – in my mind – any such loss was more than offset by our offsprings being able to spend those weeks in a totally different environment and to toally relax while still being very physically active. Given where they are now, I stand by my opinion and maintain more kids need this type of holiday.
They are running a 24 hour Trump campaign commercial. The Feds will step in sometime in December.
Without Police, This area and other like it will revert back to the days of the Wild West. Everyone will be packing a firearm.
Gotta bring back the Earps to establish Law and Order.
Andy is relentless and has a huge brass pair. Those UnMes would have lynched him on the spot if they recognized him.
It’s sad that his brave reporting will not get him a Pulitzer. That prize is owned by the NYT.
It’s also sad that an American reporter faces the same level of persecution in a major American city that he would reporting on homosexuality in Tehran or organ harvesting in China.
You are sadly correct. Andy is fairly recognizable as a minority, which should give him a pass. Unfortunately, he’s of the wrong demographic, being – with a lot of other “Asians” – an honourary white.
Seems anyone who does not fail becomes an honorary white, while whites who fail can always join Antifa.
