Yep. I live three blocks south of CHAZ and it's so overblown. Conservative family from the east-coast have told me they're very worried for me, and I check fox news and see images from "Seattle" of parking lots of cars on fire. Those images were from Minneapolis last month, not even from Seattle.
As another nearby commenter said, last week when the police were here gassing us, throwing loud bombs at protestors at 1am, and having 24/7 helicopters directly overhead, it was hard to sleep. We could feel the gas blocks away. Ever since the police vacated the precinct and "CHAZ" started, things have been so peaceful and safe in this community.
- It's called Antifastan
- Warlord Raz is prone to violent outbursts, and is an AirBnb Superhost.
- There are open carries with automatic rifles. They get the most respect.
- Laughing out loud at an attempt to create a vegetable garden. Didn't appear promising.
- Laughing harder at a cry for 'please send vegan meats and soy products, the homeless took all the food!'
My thinking is, the truth is much more clearly painted in this forum than on either side of the mainstream media. I do consider them the enemy of the people for dividing us, pitting us against each other, and creating an oppression of fear. So they can sell more clicks.
