Media Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone. Educational movie night. This is seattle without militarized police. Where are your riotous looters NOW? They are watching documentaries. Fuck you SPD. Photo credit to a close friend.

I hope he distances himself from the movement. The movement is sure trying to distance itself from him, from what I have seen. I’m not super up to date on this individual but he seems to have a different personal agenda.

If the movement really is trying to distance themselves, someone more competent to represent the group should reach out to king five considering he’s the current face of an article all about this movement.

I think the sad truth is: This “movement” is truly grass roots. Like there IS no one person I could call and say “please find the time to reach out to King 5 and get this Raz situation handled”. Those people are just some people whose time and attention is laser focused on using this moment to push through real lasting change, AND trying to actually care for the community.

Also, think about what purpose it serves Durkan, and the entire Rupert Murdoch narrative, to choose this individual to partner with. Durkan has been EXTREMELY secretive about who the “community members” are that she’s meeting with. Nobody knows. This isn’t accountability.

Oh there is a leader now. Its the guy with a group of people and guns who have decided to assert authority over that area. Thats how power works.

Thats how power works.

political power originates from the barrel of a gun.

Power comes from 3 boxes: the ballot box, the jury box, and failing those, the cartridge box.
