A
six block area centering on the 4th Police Precinct Building in Seattle
has been taken over by Madame DeFarge and company. They have
announced that they are now a "police free zone" and have armed
supporters at the barricades to enforce their position. They apparently
do not see any logical inconsistency in this position. As of Wednesday
night they were attempting to expand their empire into the 5th Police
Precinct with limited success.
The
"real" city government has announced that they will continue garbage
collection and intend to set up porta-potties so the place does not turn
into San Francisco. That would be really gross.
So
far the city isn't doing anything about this takeover. It is not clear
just yet how fire engines and ambulances could access the area if
necessary as the streets are physically barricaded. So far nobody has
died from lack of medical assistance, that they know of any way.
There is no evidence that they have set up a guillotine to start executing enemies of the new state. Yet.
The
rumor mill says they have applied to Communist China to recognize the
"new" government of Free Seattle, but that is probably bullshit.
Just in case you think this is a joke please remember, the "new government" is armed.
