The nation of CHAZ (Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone) in what used to be Seattle was set up by antifa earlier this week.

CHAZ has its first self declared dictator/warlord. Seattle based rapper Raz Simone evidently deputized himself and his crew, and they are patrolling the streets, regulating any unauthorized activity in the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone.

Raz Simone, a Seattle local, stated he belongs to the “People’s Force,” a replacement for Seattle PD in #FreeCapitolHill. On June 8th in a live video he advised that unfamiliar faces should be stopped, questioned, and checked to see if they’re armed, similar to “Stop and Frisk.” pic.twitter.com/QsM5YR0xuW

They’ve already started assaulting people who are engaging in unauthorized activity:

A Seattle local named Raz Simone established himself and his crew as the police of the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone. He's a warlord, and his crew is assaulting anyone who steps out of line.

Unlike real police, there's no accountability or discipline. It's just violence. pic.twitter.com/196ZiN2Ihh

Note that they even announce themselves as “the police of the community now”

The comments are on fire:

He also implemented stop, question and frisk for anyone who 'looks' suspicious…….not sure why they have a border….since borders are bad according to their beliefs.

"I deem myself the NEW police and will now commit my first act of police brutality!"

They need a system. They need vetted, easily identifiable people enforcing laws. They might call them something like "police" and uniform them. Then, a system to adjudicate violations. They might call them something like "courts." There might be a place that has those already.

Evidently Simone was involved with the planning of CHAZ:

A man just ran over protestors, hopped out & shot one of our young black men. This is the 5th time I’ve witnessed this. Today I will be buying barricades to protect us protestors 24/7 from threats of this nature.#peopleoverproperty #SeattlePeoplesProtection #blacklivesmatter pic.twitter.com/JMpJbE7uHd

Here’s Simone directing the armed revolutionaries to guard the borders:

And we’re already seeing the party degenerate into absolute chaos, as apparently Simone is a misogynist:

I am exposing a man who beats women, forces them into sex work and punishes them if they do not obey. Brb. And yes, @RazSimone, I’m talking about you.

– Sincerely, a black woman who will absolutely clock your shit. #seattleprotest #seattle #seattleprotests

@RazSimone, so, this how you treating the ladies in “The Family” huh? You followed this encounter up with punching Omari in the face. @shadyshainarae this your king? Cause it’s giving enslavement and severe domestic violence. #seattle #seattleprotest #seattleprotests pic.twitter.com/nwuN9cVfRZ

So basically they’ve declared themselves to be the authority, and they operate with impunity, as they go around assaulting whomever they deem to be breaking laws that don’t exist.
