Worthwhile reading but very disturbing nevertheless. "When the Seattle Police Department decided to abandon the East Precinct and allow the CHAZ to form, I thought it was a terrible decision. In retrospect, it does not seem as bad as I thought at the time. It is almost as if non-engagement can be a superior tactic than manning the barricades and fighting it out." This is an announcement of moral surrender. It is an admission that enforcing order in the streets "looks bad". I don't want to live in that type of society. You leftists in the big cities can enjoy the hellhole you have created for yourselves.

There has to be a long-term strategic vision. Fighting at barricades did not accomplish the desired result.

I think it’s more a tactic to nullify one of their strengths: claiming a moral high ground higher than the initial claim when the police come in with the zip ties, gas, and batons. The Useful Idiots like Ray LOVE to use that to shame Authority.
