Another shooting in CHAZ leaves one man dead and a 14 year old boy injured

Good thing no more of them will happen.

Anyone want to calculate the shootings per square mile and compare to a normal American city?

Don't you hear? The zones collapsing. The police chief said they will take it back, the mayor ordered the barricades to be removed, trump said a week or two ago he will do it himself if Seattle doesn't do it, and the protesters are shrinking in numbers. The zone is lucky to survive to the day after tomorrow, as I said before.

A couple of weeks ago.

According to the article there's been like five shootings

Shit man. That's what happens when you let the anarkiddies run your society. *insert smug face or some shit*

Shootings per capita per day would be a better measure.

Horrendously bad, if only the CHAZ people are counted.
Maybe not so bad if the residents of the zone are included.

Ah, that's good.

About time this nonsense was put to an end.

[The Remote Islands]

I'm just glad someone made a Civilization mod putting CHAZ in the game.

[Ifreann]

When will you stop asking that?

I've asked a grand sum of two times, about a week apart.

Once was sufficient for your suggestion that responsible adults should violently suppress dissent.

No, no. See, when there's shootings anywhere else in America, that doesn't count. Shootings only count when they're in or near the CHAZ, because some people just desperately hate the idea that people can get by without the police.

No, you don't want to calculate the shootings per square mile. Because just by the seat of your pants you know five shootings is quite a lot, and if it really is a lot, that would cast doubt on the idea that people can get by without the police.

...some people just desperately hate the idea that people can get by without the police.

Come to think of it, this thread is full of people saying that the CHAZ needs to be violently dismantled. That the police need to storm the place or soldiers need to be sent in. Perhaps the shootings in the CHAZ are happening not because the absence of cops has lead to rampant violence, but because some people are willing to put action to the sentiments we have seen expressed here.

[Stylan]

CHAZ is proof anarchism sucks and tankies/Marxist-Leninists/Maoists/etc were right again.

How so?

CHAZ was to my knowledge a crypto-anarchist community and iirc they had some mishaps. Though I could be wrong about that, if so ignore my previous statement.

It is an anarchist community that spontaneously formed around an abandoned police precinct.

Yeah? I guess we'll find out when the shooters are brought to trial.

Likely wont happen little evidence was gathered and Chaz's security appears to have destroyed evidence either from incompetence or intentionally.

Maybe they should create a body with the training and know how to preserve evidence and investigate deaths.

It looks like they skipped that and went right to covering up shootings involving them.

I am sure it is only a few bad apples in Chaz security.

Will this thread be shut down once CHAZ disappears?

[Ifreann]

Will this thread be shut down once CHAZ disappears?

Probably not. We can discuss thing that no longer exist.

I guess it will be about how exactly CHAZ will go down in history. i already offered the basics.

I don't get why anti-anarchists would want the police to storm the place. If anything, they should promote the existence of CHAZ and let it give birth to more and more examples of why anarchism is horrible.
