this was an authentic real anarchist SEDITION allowed by local Seattle government in June, with plenty of nationwide coverage, including plenty of attention from Drumpf, a self-declared autonomous zone supposeD socialist heaven set up by BLM movement radicals (many of them white anarchists) After being ordered to stop their traditional methods of crowd and riot control, thee police just gave up going in let them be to do their thing. Which was self-policing.
They carried open firearms in zone; there were four major shootings; EMT's started to refuse to go in there; they inspired angry threats from the Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer and
The New York Times reported in August that during the zone's existence, some small business owners were intimidated by demonstrators with baseball bats, asked to pledge loyalty to the movement and choose between CHOP and the police, put on a list of "cop callers", harassed, or threatened with death by a mob. A group of small-business owners sued the city for abandoning them and forcing them to pay private security companies to protect them.[33]
On June 11, the SPD announced its desire to re-enter the abandoned East Precinct building and said that it still operated in the zone;[164][165] according to Washington governorJay Inslee, the zone was "unpermitted" but "largely peaceful".[108] The following day, police chief Carmen Best said: "Rapes, robberies and all sorts of violent acts have been occurring in the area and we have not been able to get to it."[166] During the early morning of June 12, an unknown man set a fire at the East Precinct building and walked away; community residents extinguished it before it spread beyond the building's external wall or to nearby tents.[167] Later that day, Mayor Durkan visited the zone and told a New York Times reporter that she was unaware of any serious crime reported in the area.[168] Most of the people interviewed by Vox had participated in the protests but did not feel safe walking in the area at night, especially in late June. One Capitol Hill resident noted a difference in perspective between outsiders and residents: "I feel a lot of the current 'it's not safe' stuff comes from either people who aren't living in the neighborhood itself or from affluent new arrivals, or from business owners."[61]
On June 16, an agreement was reached between CHOP representatives and the city to "rezone" the occupied area to allow better street access for businesses and local services.[82] The following day, KING-TV reported that some residents were uneasy with the occupation near their homes: "What you want from a home is a stress-free environment. You want to be able to sleep well, you want to feel comfortable and we just don't feel comfortable right now." The station reported receiving anonymous emails from other residents expressing "real concerns".[169] On June 18, unease was reportedly expressed by black protesters about the zone and its use of Black Lives Matter slogans. According to NPR, "Black activists say there must be follow-through to make sure their communities remain the priority in a majority-white protest movement whose camp has taken on the feel of a neighborhood block party that's periodically interrupted by chants of 'Black Lives Matter!'"[30]
ETC.
Don't tell me this wasn't an example to right winger extremists that this sort of thing would be tolerated! It's like a blatant poke that they should try it, too. Those who think what is happening now has nothing to do with now are just being willfully blind. You are either with unlawful protesters or you're not, you have to take a side about breaking the law and a strong one if you want a civil society.
And yes, these lefty anarchists travel allover to agitate, cause some trouble in Kenosha and hop in a van and a few later are in Seattle helping to pull down statues and start riots regarding indigenous rights or some such. Just because they are fewer in number than right-wing nuts doesn't mean they should get special dispensation, 82 mulligans because oh I forgot about them because they had righteous intent
If you don't renounce the tactics, you'll soon see them used by the other side. Right-wing extremists were watchin all along.
if you follow thru to hydroplain's thread, you see he was ex-combat military, could be lefty anti-Trump Boogaloos and the FBI could have been on him for a while, the first tweet about his being arrested and his YouTube channel still being up, that was taken down now
His voice in the background of the aftermath of the 6/29 shooting in CHOP, instructing people to destroy evidence:https://t.co/zWedrbKL1W
Per today's FBI affidavit, he served in the U.S. Army from 2006 to 2007 before receiving an other-than-honorable discharge; in other words, getting kicked out.
He was homeless and jobless from 2008 until 2017, when he joined the Kurdish YPG militia forces in Syria. pic.twitter.com/AbQCPsDmPo
He returned from Syria in 2019, intending to continue what he saw as the armed struggle against fascism.
After George Floyd's killing, he attended various protests and demonstrations. This path eventually led him to Seattle and the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest. pic.twitter.com/88lsMYOMQ9
He made numerous posts on the "AQerecox" Twitter handle, including pictures of his masked face on Capitol Hill, which verify his presence at the CHOP. That account has been suspended, but its tweets were mostly archived:https://t.co/o7N7cUFxM2*
In July, snippets of a Facebook post on his account "BhaktaDan" were visible in Google's cache, with the line "disgruntled veterans will win the Boogaloo." The FB account is now private.https://t.co/ki3yzWWHtm
The CHOP security volunteers riddled the stolen Jeep with bullets, fatally wounding Mays and critically wounding his 14 y/o companion. The shooting was caught on video from a nearby apartment window. Warning, the footage is disturbing.https://t.co/P0xex5NQK5
Baker claims to have rendered aid to the victims. The identity of the shooter(s) remains unclear. It's possible that Baker, armed and with combat experience, was one.
He claims the victims "started shooting" first, but there is no evidence of this.https://t.co/CloRwfgxXN
NEWWWWS -- Michael Flynn's brother was on the call and resisting emergency pleas for the National Guard when the Capitol was under attack Jan. 6. The Army falsely denied it for weeks. me w the greats: @DanLamothe@PaulSonne@byaaroncdavishttps://t.co/k6QNnXrwBh
there is some evidence he was an instigator in the article, that he urged rioting on.
Also note in the story, this embedded link; he is already facing charges in the BLM-protest related altercation in Provo in the summer which was widely reported because a protester had a gun with which he shot a motorist angry about the protest:
He's very much for violent insurgency (hence the name of his organization) and like many of these anarchists and boogaloos types, he seems able to get around to where all the action might be, anything anti-cop or anti-Feds seems to be of interest.
just for the heck of it I looked up what the Anarchist Meme Collective is saying about Biden today:
50. His foreign policy adviser helped Bush orchestrate the Iraq War before joining a lobbying firm for the military-industrial complex.https://t.co/uV9t01PYal

Note he was part of the trouble at CHOP.
For those telling me that the summer protests had zero to do with the state this country is in; here's a little reminder of just this one thing

another arrested left-wing anarchist/Boogaloos type, this one involved in the U. S. Capitol riot, founder of "Insurgence USA"
there is some evidence he was an instigator in the article, that he urged rioting on.
Also note in the story, this embedded link; he is already facing charges in the BLM-protest related altercation in Provo in the summer which was widely reported because a protester had a gun with which he shot a motorist angry about the protest:

The comparisons to ISIS sometimes seem quite apt.
