You may recall the Seattle Autonomous Zone, known as the CHAZ. The police went into there after two months and cleared it out, after much stalling and pandering by the Mayor, Jenny Durkan. But not before multiple people were shot and killed in the area.

Portland then tried to copy it recently and created an autonomous zone around a house where Antifa was trying to occupy to prevent a family from being evicted from a property that had been sold two years ago. The obstructions and barriers that they created in the street in the surrounding blocks were largely cleared out. But reports indicate the family and the Antifa folks are still occupying the property.

But now, it looks like the Seattle Autonomous Zone may have bloomed again. In fact, although the police cleared it out after the BLM/Antifa “summer of love,” the occupiers and the homeless just kept creeping back into the area.

But the word came that the city would be trying to clear it out again, so BLM/Antifa erected all kinds of barricades, preparing for a conflict with the police to stop the city from getting into the park.

Local media tried to get coverage of it all yesterday but were attacked by Antifa.

ABANDONING LIVE SHOT: A group of people in all black emerged out of Cal Anderson Park just before my 4:30pm live shot. They started throwing rocks at us. Now I know how @SeattlePD feels. My crew is safe. @SeattleParks will have hands full during Wed sweep. Update 6pm @komonews pic.twitter.com/3A9sExBGyf

They’ve basically turned it into a disgusting pile of filth, with all kinds of trash as well as “Kill Cops” and “ACAB” graffiti everywhere.

TRASHED: Here’s another entrance at Cal Anderson Park. Saw people dropping off wooden pallets in pick up trucks. Clearly building make shift wall to keep city crews out during Wednesday’s planned sweep. #seattle #CapitolHill #CalAndersonPark pic.twitter.com/qmfd2bNJyt

SEATTLE: Antifa and Leftists have erected barricades and are guarding the new borders to prevent @SeattlePD from sweeping the Homeless Encampment which has brought increased crime to the community. Messaging on the barricades include “kill cops.” The sweep is set for tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/Jy6WTOqJsj

But the city didn’t do a sweep this morning. Looks like it may have been called off, as once again, the city loses its nerve to actually do anything to stop this kind of stuff. But in the meantime, Antifa has erected even more barricades, now pretty much surrounding all of the park.

WHAT HAPPENED TO SWEEP? IS THIS NEW #CHOP? My colleague @mattmarkovich went in to the Cal Anderson Park encampment Tues night. Some of the homeless say they don't want the black bloc protestors there since that group usually brings violence. Hot mess.#SEATTLE #Seattleprotest pic.twitter.com/QRb9hvbFQ5

Antifa and activists are hunkering down at Cal Anderson Park in anticipation of SPD clearning the encampment.
Yesterday, they were just protecting their staging area for riots. Now it seems like they are making an effort to barricade the whole park pic.twitter.com/Akt88iQyaE

This is your modern Democratic city. Meanwhile other people are prevented from congregating in public inside or in close quarters. But establishing a filthy pest hole that no authorities are allowed in and where people can attack the press is just cool.
