The police chief, who is getting the calls of rape and violence to the area and can't get to people, has a very different eye witness account of what's transpiring.
When was this, where did you read this? What is your source?
The live pictures being shown now show very few people walking around. No barriers that can’t be moved in case of an emergency.
Look it up. I'm not your mommy. Anything I post you'll make excuses for, ridicule and say something ludicrous about.

This is a debate about groups that ban police presence and set up their own means of policing the community they’ve set up.

I mean, they don’t all have names? At least not names you recognize, I guess. I stayed at one for several months when I was pregnant with my oldest and it didn’t have a name, it was just some property owned by some old hippies. I emerged decidedly un-traumatized, in fact I have quite fond memories of the place, which still exists and has not to my knowledge inspired any lifetime specials. I think maybe you’re thinking all communes are cult communes, like Waco or something? They aren’t. not even all of the religious ones ever have anything happen to make them newsworthy.
I found this directory which lists over 700 in the US and another 300+ abroad: https://www.ic.org/directory/intentiona ... y-country/. That probably isn't a comprehensive list since many of them don’t really do internet marketing. They are more common than you probably think and definitely do not all lead to trauma, madness and tragedy.
Bikers. Like the Outlaws.
Bikers? Do you mean bikers set up their own policing system? Like the Hells Angels ?

Oooh! Fill me in! Where did they overtake nearly a mile of public street, hold businesses stuck in that area hostage, extort them for "protection" money, run the police out of their own station, have armed imbeciles guard their borders and assault the police? I wanna see!
I was addressing "ban police presence and set up their own means of policing the community they’ve set up". I have seen them hold businesses hostage and extort from them. In many places, the police won't mess with them and some are even in their pockets. Have you ever been to a clubhouse?

But I'm still the winner! They lied! They cheated! They stole the election!

That's not how it works. Source your information, you're known to believe every conspiracy theory you read.

Do you see that as a good thing, or a bad thing?

Of course they police themselves. Yes. Hells Angels are West Coast and the Outlaws are East Coast, and others all over, but those are two of the larger clubs.

It's a bad thing, but it happens.

Are they a good example of what happens when people are allowed to privately police their own groups?

Where is all of that happening?
According to people that have been there none of that is happening in Seattle. There are fake images of armed guards and hearsay tales that people are posting on Twitter but the things you are saying have been debunked by the people who are actually there.
