    I'm so proud.

    In response to police brutality residents have barricaded themselves into an autonomous zone where they are not allowing us cops to enter.

    Reminds me of #FREEDERRY When John Hume asked 1500 residents to barricade themselves in and not allow the RUC to enter.

    https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/welcome-to-the-capitol-hill-autonomous-zone-where-seattle-protesters-gather-without-police/

    They are allowing food trucks and everything else in it's just police. People are watching films in the street and painting murals.

    Also before someone gives out about my spelling of CAPITOL hill


    I asked locals on twitter they say they spell it with an O.


    I think anyone at FOX news who claims to be Irish ..and who criticizes the autonomous zone needs to be shown the above photo of John Hume so they can see what they really are.

    Seems to be trouble in paradise.


    They are running low on food and have requested more vegan meat substitutes and soy products.

    This is not true. That's lies spread by trumpers.

    Think about it ....why would they run out of food???

    They are only banning police ....they are allowing food trucks in.

    Everyone IN the area says supplies are fine and its more peaceful now.

    Don't fall for lies.

    John Hume can't be wrong.

    "You should support X,Y,Z and believe A,B,C because of your ethnicity" is beyond moronic.

    He was a devout Catholic, so I guess I'll see you watching live streaming Mass today?

    I've seen this online, is this actually a thing or is it about a 100 people pretending they are 1930's Barcelona?

    If it is real.
    -They definitely aren't letting everybody but police in, they are stopping reporters too
    - they already have a small time rapper going around intimidating people and telling them he is the authority.

    Basically I don't think it's comparable to Free Derry even if it's more than an online phenomenon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 263 ✭✭Fleetwoodmac


    Perhaps I've read a series of biased articles in relation to CHAZ but is it correct that the original residents require permission to enter/leave, owners of businesses within the area have been told they will need to pay protection money, the self appointed leader ( a rapper) has advocated for use of patrolling the perimeter with weapons? No one can dispute the symbolism behind this occupation. There are however stark differences between the lives of Catholics during the height of the troubles and the current Antifa drive.

    Are you in this zone? You seem to know a lot about it and anything negative is a lie. Plenty of negative views on social media/online. Do you have anything to show these assertions are in fact false?

    Of course the Neo Nazis are just over reacting and going nuts like they always do.

    There is little media on this. So the right wing are just making up everything.

    Don't waste your time. It will go just like the Antifa thread; around and around, without ever admitting guilt for anything. You're simply wasting your energy.

    “The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than anyone else. You know it is sometimes very pleasant to take offense, isn't it? A man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and exaggerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word and made a mountain out of a molehill--he knows that himself, yet he will be the first to take offense, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it.”- ― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

    Police have bombed people before I don’t think it’s a good idea to joke about this either when already people are acting violently, running their cars into protesters shooting at them etc.

    That comment makes no sense.

    They are still going to work.

    People are still going in and out...its just police.

    So I just talked to a guy whose local market is in there ...but he doesn't live there ...he just walked past the barricades to the shop bought his stuff and left.


    If they work in the area they are going to work ...if they work outside the area they are just going to work and coming back.


    Or a lot are working from home for obv reasons.

    Day 3: Warlord uses excessive force in administrating rules of the zone.
    Day 4: Protests against the warlord.
    Day 5: Warlord overreacts to protests
    Day 6: Autonomous autonomous zone declared, in which warlord is not welcome.

    That tweet has been debunked. Seriously the shops are still opening you think people run out of food in 48 hrs?

    I checked with residents on twitter.

    They are allowing food deliveries etc. They are still getting supplies every day. They even have garbage collection and water supply guaranteed ..its all private companies so the state can't cut it off! :pac:

    OH THE IRONY!

    I've heard there's doubt about the credibility of that Tweet. So I'd be cautious about posting it, the rest of the information doing the rounds seems to be solid though. Just sit back and watch, it will go tits up eventually.

    No.

    The first thing these freedom loving people did was create a police free zone.

    There is no border. Normal people ..delivery trucks can still go in and out as they wish. Its just the police.

    Actually according to residents ...all the info from the media right now is weird.

    There are no shortages etc ...there were no petrol bombs ...people are going about daily life.

    Just no police. And they want demands met.

    I do agree you have to wait for things to unfold though.

    So you don't support John Hume and the civil rights movement in NI got it.

    You think it was fine for the black and tans to do what they did to us got it.

    We know where you stand.

    Please please if you choose to discuss the civil rights movement/free Derry movement do some research. The Black and Tans as brutal as they were, were well gone in john Humes time.
    The residents of Derry barricaded themselves into their area, they didn't move into the area and then barricade themselves in!! They barricaded thenselves in because the b specials and ruc actively sought to inter them and damage their homes. Young Catholic men were being interned, gerrymandering rife, poor housing, actual real poverty. A marked absence of democracy. One man, one vote unless you had property and then you had several votes! . overcrowding, segregated education, poor housing.
    I lived on the falls and the ormeau... yes we actually had cloths hanging in our hallway doused with vinegar in case teargas was shoved in our letterbox. We didnt need to go to a march, the army and ruc came to us!!! There are similarities between the movements but don't put them on par with each other. Free Derry movement is a worthy symbol of civil rights but I'm struggling to equate the current antifa movemtent and it's manifesto with what was endured by northern irish Catholics.

    TO THE PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY ARE ERECTING A BORDER

    Here are people going in and out of the barricades. Its just the cops who are not allowed.

    I mean LOOK all those people being CHECKED for papers! *Sniggers*

    And no those homeless people they gave free food to didn't steal all the food and there is plenty left.

    The ‘autonomous zone’ should be nuked. That’d learn them. :)

    They only have about 5 blocks. Have you seen the blast radius of a nuke? You'd take out most of the city. You'd be killing more people that are against this **** than are for it.

    Starve them out and let them surrender is the best option.

    Funny how they're suddenly for borders and border security now. Next they'll be checking for IDs.

    A tactical nukes have far smaller blast radius.
