Seattle's Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) is gone.<br />It was created in the wake of nation wide protests against police brutality.<br />Business Insider says CHAZ was set up along several blocks.<br />It created a space for tents, free food, art-making, and rallies around the city’s abandoned East Precinct.<br />"CHAZ has symbolic meaning that once the police withdraw, it’s not that communities descend into chaos, but that we can create safe, democratic, autonomous spaces.”<br />Business Insider said that without police the zone collapsed.<br />Intentions were good but the group did not do enough when violence and lawlessness erupted.<br />Some of the crimes include noise complaints, rampant drug use, rapes, lootings, assaults, property damage .... <br />.... theft, muggings, harassment, public sex, public urination and defecation, shootings, and several brutal murders....<br />The area has now been dismantled.
