Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone

She'll just be replaced by the next liberal stooge in line...

We can always hope that the citizenry has had a wake-up, but, yeah...

Long article from CNN about life in the CHOP zone. https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/05/us/ch...ety/index.html I wasn't there but it seems reasonably balanced. When I finished, I thought of Lord of the Flies and the ending line of the book:

― William Golding, Lord of the Flies

I think that they were responsible for allowing the destruction and even encouraging it, so they should pay for the damages themselves. Maybe they can use all that money they will be saving by defunding the police.

I should note that Atlanta apparently had an autonomous zone around the Wendy's where Rayshard Brooks was shot that was blockaded and patrolled by gun-toting thugs. Didn't receive much coverage and I wasn't even aware of it until the inevitable happened.

On July 4th an African-American mother with her 8-year-old daughter tried to maneuver her car around some of the illegally placed barricades in order to enter a nearby parking lot which resulted in at least two of thugs opening fire on the car and killing the child.

The mayor here acted suitably horrified proclaiming "You shot and killed a baby" while meticulously ignoring how her administration tolerated the conditions that led to this tragedy.

Of course none of the "protesters" who had taken the area over saw anything and haven't the slightest idea who the (at least) two murderers are.

So much for their giving a $#@%# about black lives.




In other news, the new interim police chief has been highly critical of the Fulton D.A. for indicting the officers involved in Brook's shooting, saying that he won't comment on the issue of guilt or innocence regarding the case but condemned the process that led to the indictment as being corrupt.

I kinda figure that he likely discovered that his position was only temporary so he felt free to express his honest opinion rather than kowtowing to the mayor and D.A.
