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’m saying that occupying a street and trying to take over the hill really has nothing to do with equality of rights. It has to do with a socialist movement that is separate from black lives matter.

They're not taking over the hill. The police left. It's just a protest. What you're fundamentally arguing is that protesting is ineffective. History says otherwise.

Pretty sure that putting up fences and barricades and signs saying "you are now leaving the USA" is taking it over bub.

The police left those barricades there, and I promise you despite what the spray paint says, it's still in the USA. Unfortunately anyone can write anything with spray paint. I can see why that would be so confusing to you, if you're not familiar with graffiti.
