From WSJopinion: The good progressives of Washington state allowed the CHAZ to rise, and now they can decide whether to invade the enclave or let it become a new republic, if they can keep it

The founding of any new nation is worthy of note, and so it is with the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, several blocks of Seattle that have been seized by protesters, Occupy Wall Street types and assorted opportunists. Now it’s up to the citizens of the CHAZ, adapting Federalist No. 1, to decide the important question: whether anarchies of men are capable or not of establishing good government.

This week the Seattle police withdrew from their East Precinct in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, after threats that it would be torched....

opinion So they’re like the treacherous South? Do they have a flag we can ban?

opinion Interesting micro social experiment. They should cut them off of all larger social benefits and let it proceed for a year. I'd be interest to see what they do and how it turns out. Would make a good TV reality show.

opinion Impeach the worthless Seattle mayor as a start!

opinion Great job JayInslee and MayorJenny we are the laughing stock of the world.

opinion Wouldn’t a republic have to provide its own water, electricity, gas, sewage, etc and legally obtain its land?

opinion 😂 cattle mindset. These poor stooges doing their overlords bidding. Once the enclosed area gets full of urine and feces the”wall” will evaporate. Such ignorant thugs.

opinion Where is Janet Reno when we need to her?

opinion What do you know about Washington State? Opinion? Did you go there to find out exactly what is going on and the reasoning behind it? You don't have to have an opinion, you have enough resources to go there and inform as a news organization, don't you?

opinion Technically we are a federation. The entire premise federation is that it is an expansion of a confederation. In a confederation secession is allowable in a federation it is not. Thet said They are not secessionists.

opinion Watch them try to collect taxes.

opinion Surround the area. Shut off water, electricity, cell service, internet. Arrest them as they stagger out looking for food.

opinion Exactly. It is up to the good people of Seattle along with the citizens of Washington to clean up this mess or live with it going forward. It is their city and state.

opinion Here is a question, if the businesses are looted, burned and pillaged and I’m going to assume that none of the citizens of “Chaze” don’t work then how are they going to buy food, eat and so forth? If the businesses aren’t being re-supplied then I guess “air crops are coming next!

opinion good for them...good people know that realdonaldtrump is not their President.....and they have declared they want no part of his 'America' whatsoever......

opinion Self-determination is the bedrock of liberty. We don't always have to wait for elections to institute governments among men, deriving power from the consent of the governed. Call it a de facto special election, and the pearl-clutching by opinion can abate.

opinion Kinda like when those nut job Bundy cowboys who were quietly cheered on by some Rs because they were “oppressed” by the Gov’t

opinion Shame on you WSJ for misrepresenting the situation. Citizens coming together to discuss their concerns with one another, and then relaying those concerns to their elected representatives is literally democracy in action. No one has declared a new govt. Good grief. Panic much?

opinion Communes never survive.

opinion Shut their power,water & trash removal. Let them build their own system. Why should we foot the bill & give them a free ride. No one pays my bills but me.

opinion Paul Gigot and the Spoilsports. Play on.

opinion This happened under Obama-Biden too, but nobody cared.

opinion Oh yeah. LMAO

opinion The new confederate... How it is possible, even dreamed or spoken, in the Union, at a time and hours where Confederate symbols are removed? How it can be?

opinion You would expects such trashy journalism with a Murdoch/Fox owned publication. I think its a great strategy to temper the volatility of protesters. Listen to them...respect them and together makes changes. Instead of mass arrests & tear gas!

opinion If they are 'secessionist' they are no better than the traitors of the south.

opinion Easy solution don’t let them leave that area. Lock them in.

opinion How much do utilities and city services cost, for a 6 block area in a major city?

opinion Send in the Marines! They are enemies of America.

Seattle police chief on autonomous takeover: 'We did not ... abandon the precinct'After confrontations with police, protesters in Seattle seized a several-block area to create an 'autonomous police-free zone,' and Seattle's police chief says she's 'very angry about the situation.' ABC just gave an incredibly biased report on CHAZ. Placing the brief quote from Jenny Durkan full of empty platitudes in the center of the article, sandwiched between inaccurate SPD comments is PR, NOT JOURNALISM. You SHOULD be reporting this👇 who will protect the ppl n businesses in the zone? seattle is going down the pits w/ weak n inept mayor n gov. we the american ppl reject n condemn such extreme left-insanity. this is what extreme left is all abt. How dare you discriminate against the nation of chaz! They are citizens of chad , how dare you not respect there autonomy! Redact and apologize for calling them such derogatory names , they are much more than mear protestors .
