Seattle zone's new enforcers blocking police response to 'rapes, robberies'

Reports from inside the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone near downtown Seattle belie the claim of Mayor Jenny Durkan that the seizure of sovereignty of the police station and six surrounding blocks of city is merely "a peaceful expression of our community's collective grief and their desire to build a better world."
Independent reporter Andy Ngo, who has documented violent protests by Antifa and other movements in recent years, set the scene in an interview Thursday with Fox News' Martha MacCallum.
"It's hard for me to overstate the anarchy that's on the streets in a neighborhood in the largest city in the Pacific Northwest," he said.
"You have here a group of several hundred people who have laid siege to a territory and have claimed it as a separate political entity from the United States."
Ngo pointed out that behind the images of "dancing and having a good time" is a boarded up police precinct, border checkpoints and "in the absence of power," those "who will take advantage of the situation to elevate themselves."
Among them are a 30-year-old rapper, Solomon "Raz" Simone, who, claiming to be the zone's enforcer, carries a high-powered rifle — said to be an AK-47 — and makes announcements through a megaphone.
