Hundreds have gathered to hear speeches, poetry and music.

On Wednesday, children made chalk drawings in the middle of the street."

Y'all make it sound like "The Purge".
The live pictures being shown now show very few people walking around. No barriers that can’t be moved in case of an emergency.

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.

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.

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.

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.Frau Holle wrote: ↑Sat Jun 13, 2020 3:03 pmBikers?

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.
