We reported on Monday how the Capitol Hill zone occupied by radical leftists and anarchists has armed community patrols, courtesy of the Puget Sound John Brown Gun Club.
On top of that the Seattle mayor, Jenny Durkan, issued an emergency order on May 30 forbidding all weapons in the area, an order which is likely unconstitutional. But guess what group is getting a pass from the having to comply with the order? You got it, our leftists friends in the zone.
Heres what her office said:
There have been individuals with weapons open carrying is legal in Washington State, a spokesperson for Seattle mayor Jenny Durkans office told the Daily Beast. While the CHAZ is within the area of the City currently under a weapons ban, the Emergency Order establishing the weapons ban does not mandate enforcement. It gives officers the option to take certain actions (i.e., confiscate weapons) if they deem it necessary.
The City will continue to assess the area on a regular basis and work with community and other stakeholders on a path forward that allows individuals to demonstrate, businesses to continue their operations, and preserves public safety for local residents, the spokesperson said. Officers in the East Precinct have continued to respond to calls. [Seattle Police] Chief [Carmen] Best and Command Staff have been on site at the East Precinct including yesterday, and some personnel are now staffing the precinct.
The order, signed May 30, provides:
B. Within this zone, all persons are prohibited from possessing, transporting, purchasing, furnishing or selling any weapon, including, but not limited to: rocks, bottles, pipes, bats, clubs, chains, sharpened signs, shields, gas, road flares, torches, paint balls, light bulbs, any incendiary devices, pry-bars, skateboards, balloons filled with liquid, dimensional lumber with a dimension greater than 1/2 inch, or any other objects which can be used for infliction of bodily harm or damage to property.
C. Seattle Police are hereby directed confiscate any weapon identified above or any other implement reasonably perceived or believed to be capable of being used as a weapon found within these boundaries.
Of course its completely hypocritical on the part of the Mayors office to apply this to other folks but seemingly give these folks a pass. Plus when youre in a state of insurrection it may be just a tad different from the situation of a normal person just wanting to exercise their constitutional rights.

Dana Loesch ✔ @DLoesch Can someone point me to @everytown @momsdemand statement on this? https://twitter.com/SomeBitchIKnow/status/1272616532875583489
Lauren @SomeBitchIKnow Raz is handing out AR-15s from the back of his Tesla.
In WA, to own an "assault rifle", a person must be 21+ if outside their own home or business.
They can charge Raz with a gross misdemeanor for the first transfer to anyone under 21, then a felony for every one after.
Doesnt look like much of a background check going on there.
Aside from all the legal questions this action raises beyond Durkans own ridiculous order, this is pretty troubling stuff because the kid he hands the gun to looks like he has no idea what hes doing and is likely to shoot a foot off if he doesnt accidentally kill someone else with it.
But its just a block party, right?
Gun show loophole! Gun show loophole!
I presume it was a quicky handout, kinda fast and furious.
The laws are only enforced on those who have jobs.
"Okay, Jenny, but aren't there background checks and whatnot?"
They keep referring to video, I cannot find it. Anyone have a link?
Mayor Jenny is thrilled at all these exciting developments. People forget, she’s a full-on backer of CHAZ.
And not a peep from David Hogg, or the Karen’s from Moms Demand Action. Why is that, I ask so cynically??
Twitter deleted the original tweet with the video in it.
Now says ‘This tweet is unavailable’.
I first saw it from a different tweet yesterday
Ah. Thank you. I thought it was just me unable to find it.
Well, that explains it. Handing out AK-47s or AR-15s is always done at block parties.
In the Middle East.
I would guess that probably changes once you enter into an illegal activity.
Just heard that the Seattle thugs just agreed to shrink their riot zone. Things could tighten up a bit.
I thought it was a federal felony to transfer a firearm without a federal firearms license. Oh wait, that only applies to the law abiding citizens among us.
One more useless gun law.
I have known for years that the left plans to take guns from the normal, non-violent people and leave them in the hands of violent criminals.
Who cares about the “emergency order”, it is probably illegal.
What we ALL should care about is if they are handing out guns without doing the required background check. That violates federal law, and if the video is confirmed, the ATF could legally go into the city to do an investigation and make arrests.
Here it is YT still has it.
Raz of the CHAZ Hands Out AR-15s to Strangers Who Could Be Minors.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Jr0ILcX9hY&feature=youtu.be
It comes from the trunk of a 2015 Tesla Lic# AWB9296.
Note the optics. They are identical to other AR’s in the zone. Don’t look like from a “private” collection.
Looks more like they were acquired from a crate. The warlord is being supplied. Deep State anyone?
She doesn’t care; she’s a “progressive.”

I love this!
“... prohibited ... any weapon, including ... gas ...”
Breathing involves gas. O2 in, C02 out.
That’s going to make life tough (if they enforce it.)
Now, the down-stream gas from refritos, that can be a weapon.
Not just guns but scary assault rifles designed solely for killing humans with no doubt extra capacity clips making them capable of spewing thousands of rounds a second.
