Its not the "free zone" its the "New Republic of Capitol Hill" boarders established, new laws and regulations as well as taxation. Checkpoints with armed guards checking ID and regulating people who enter or leave based on their race and beliefs. Private property and public property voluntarily given to a terrorist group of militants. Recognition of a new governmental entity and sovereign status entitled to regulated and legal negotiations. The police no longer recognize that area as part of the city of Seattle, State of Washington or USA. They have been told to recognize the area as not being concurrent jurisdiction and US law does not apply. It is no longer part of this country.


We are not down-playing the situation Rich, we just aren't up-playing it either. It is serious, but it's also nothing like what you are representing. These kids are trust fund LARP'rs with zero resources. It's not like uh...Russia annexing Crimea with legit military hardware.

This is just a little role play fantasy land action in play. It's going to last about as long as my lunch.

Like I said....just chill man. It's gonna be a-ok. I promise.
