WHAT’S GOING ON IN SEATTLE IS OPEN INSURRECTION. THAT TRUMP MIGHT INVOKE THE INSURRECTION ACT IN RESPONSE IS HARDLY SHOCKING: Trump to Inslee Amid Seattle Antifa Revolt: ‘Take Back Your City NOW. If You Don’t, I Will.’

UPDATE: The Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone Has Already Had Its First Incident Of Self-Appointed-Police Violence.

We’ve seen all of this before, sadly. If you were around when the Occupy protests were a thing, they also believed they had created a new utopia of equality for everyone to emulate. And then it became clear that people were being assaulted, threatened and even raped inside the camps. The lead camp in Zuccotti Park even set up a women-only tent in an effort to protect women from sexual assault.

But, hey, I’m sure the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone will work out great. Instead of all that messy due process and police we’ll just have an armed rapper and his guys wandering around smacking and threatening to kill people who get on their nerves. What could possibly go wrong?

Maybe Trump shouldn’t move too fast to shut this down. It’s likely to be a useful learning experience.
