Antifa Seeks Armed Volunteers to Hold Seized Ground in Seattle
by AWR Hawkins
Antifa is reportedly seeking armed volunteers to take turns manning barricades and holding ground that protesters have seized within Seattle city limits.
The Gateway Pundit reports Antifa set up an “autonomous zone” that includes six square blocks they seized in Seattle. They are reportedly “advocating for ‘folks with firearms’ to take shifts defending the barricades” around the six blocks.
This was Seattle last night, after Seattle PD abandoned what’s being called the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone.”
Without police, the zone has turned into a peaceful George Floyd memorial filled with art, positivity & love.
Let this be a reminder– police are the real instigators. https://t.co/RXGzvG2TH1

Medium reports the alleged seizure of the city blocks was followed by a list of 30 demands for the City Council and Seattle Mayor.
The first two center on abolishing the Seattle Police Deparment.
Demand one states:
The Seattle Police Department and attached court system are beyond reform. We do not request reform, we demand abolition. We demand that the Seattle Council and the Mayor defund and abolish the Seattle Police Department and the attached Criminal Justice Apparatus. This means 100% of funding, including existing pensions for Seattle Police. At an equal level of priority we also demand that the city disallow the operations of ICE in the city of Seattle.
