Sooner or later, something will have to give in as far as this autonomous zone goes.

It’s time for a brand new name for the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ). Some organizers now refer to the commandeered 6-block radius as Capitol Hill Occupied (or Organized) Protest (CHOP). But some folks are confused.
Activists have been removing signs from the site formerly known as CHAZ in hopes that the new CHOP name better reflects their action.
The change was made, one unnamed organizer said, because “this is not an autonomous zone, and we’re not trying to secede from the United States.”
He claimed that outsiders called it CHAZ, though provided little evidence. Indeed, protesters at the site previously known as CHAZ actively embraced the old name. But, CHOP it is. We’re just not entirely sure what the “O” stands for.
On Saturday afternoon, one organizer on a bullhorn announced the change from CHAZ to CHOP. He said the “O” stands for “Occupied.” But another organizer confidently declares it “Organized.”
So which is it?
It’s unclear who decided to make the name change from CHAZ to CHOP. There’s no leader at CHAZ/CHOP, and it’s a space occupied by a variety of groups and community organizers. But last night, the change discussion turned to action as activists began to pull down signs reading Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone.
And there were some tense moments Friday night as the CHAZ signs came down.
There apparently wasn’t agreement on the change, so bickering and a small skirmish ensued. One activist would end up chiding them for being focused on the wrong issue — CHAZ to CHOP — than on police brutality and racism.

It's time for Trump to calm down, really.
Seattle has a serious history of, well, such things, by the way.

While I understand and to some extent agree that what happened has some similarities to Communist "revolutions", it is mostly confined to where they initially claimed and no more. Why not leave these fine folks alone?
Unthinking Majority wrote:CHAZ is an autonomous, some might say sovereign, six-block region of downtown Seattle taken over by protestors. Police have been booted out of the police station there, and barricades put up to control the flow of people. Seattle's mayor has rebuffed Trump's calls to use the military to go in to take back control.

So is CHAZ an illegal occupation of terrorist thugs, or freedom in America in 2020?
