Minneapolis Has a New Autonomous Zone with Armed Guards – HotAir

The left is running their playbook in Minneapolis and that includes establishing a new autonomous zone where law enforcement are not allowed. Several people were able to get inside and seemed surprised by how organized and well-funded it appeared to be.





An “AUTONOMOUS ZONE” has been declared by leftists in Minneapolis, and is being referred to as a “NO-GO ZONE” for police

This zone spans for SEVERAL BLOCKS, and residents are BARRED from driving to their homes.

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MUST END THIS.

Makeshift barricades using trash and stolen materials are at ALL intersections, and “guards” are present at each.

This looks almost IDENTICAL to CHAZ, or the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” in Seattle in 2020, where the city SURRENDERED a neighborhood to anarchists who made their own “laws.”

CHAZ was famous for failed communism, death, theft, and vandalism, and as you’d imagine, they were commonplace in the zone.

@KevinPosobiec and I went in undercover to take a look. If we had been discovered, we’d have been violently run out. It’s not as “friendly” as it seems.

WE CANNOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN AGAIN. SHUT IT DOWN!





We’ve seen this sort of thing before and it always ends very badly. The autonomous zone in Seattle, known first as the CHAZ or Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, was initially welcomed by the mayor. Even after police abandoned a small precinct in the zone and graffiti spread everywhere, the city took a hands-off approach. It sounds like the police in Minneapolis are taking a similar approach.

Before it was shut down, CHAZ briefly had a “warlord” of sorts, i.e. an armed mob policing the area since real police weren’t allowed. Needless to say it didn’t work out very well. Two people were killed in the zone and at least one more was seriously injured. That’s what finally made the mayor come to her senses and reestablish control of the areas.

The new CHAZ also has armed guards spreading the leftist message “we keep us safe.” His message is to not only resist federal law enforcement but to get everyone who opposes them armed to help them resist. He’s not directly saying he wants to kill anyone but the fact that he’s quoting Che Guevara doesn’t surprise me a bit. We know Guevara didn’t have a problem shooting enemies of the revolution.





But again, I don’t think this is going to work out very well for people inside the new CHAZ. There were several other, less well-known autonomous zones set up in 2020, including in Portland, in Washington, D.C. and in Minneapolis. 

There was also a CHAZ of sorts in Atlanta where an armed mob set up road blocks near the spot where Rayshard Brooks was killed. One night, the heavily armed mob killed 8-year-old Secoriea Turner when her mother tried to drive around a checkpoint without their permission. One of the men responsible, Jerrion McKinney, was sentenced to 40 years. Another man, Julian Conley, was sentenced to life without parole plus 25 years.

In explaining the sentence, the judge said Conley and others “were there in a massive show of force at an illegal barricade,” brandishing weapons and deciding “who could pass and who would be terrorized.” The court noted that video showed Conley armed and prepared to fire if a driver tried to proceed, adding, “Your actions demonstrated that day an abandoned and malignant heart, a reckless disregard for human life. You didn’t have to know there was a young child in the backseat. You fired on a car that you knew was carrying human beings. And in an area where children are present, it’s so fortunate that only one child died that night.”

Finally, James O’Keefe made a visit to the new CHAZ and had a lot to say about it. [emphasis added]





I’ve never experienced anything quite like today in my life. I’ve interacted with the Cartel and have witnessed some crazy things in the desert in ‘24. But what strikes me is how organized these agitators in Minneapolis are. They have spotters everywhere in the city and suburbs, on street corners, even 30 minutes away from downtown. They have people at hotels that work with them and signal to them which made it making it difficult for us to lose our tail once my cover was blown. Usually I lose a tail. Not this time. We switched locations THREE times. I recorded and posted this while leaving Wayzata, while they were STILL surveilling. We all agreed we must make the threats public ASAP,  even if we had people still in the field with the hidden cams. 

Earlier around noon, while @camhigby released his report on the Signal threads, I was inside what appeared to be a fully autonomous Zone. No police presence. The police were told to leave. I  identified myself as Press and they said they will kill Press and will not let me leave. My skin was fully covered because it was so cold. But because they couldn’t verify who I was, they screamed and started throwing ice bottles at us. One hit, @SKRUCHTENMMA, a marine who was with me. They patted him down like THEY were the authorities, attempting to confiscate any weapons. They were set to destroy our vehicle before we even got to it. I will have a full video report shortly. 

But the bigger picture here is more important. I am angry. But not at the agitators. I find myself already angry at the people who don’t understand what we’re dealing with and will do nothing about it. When I got to the suburbs I felt like I was in a simulation.

I believe the American people need to wake up. This moment is a warning about where we’re headed. Fear pushes people to care only about their money and their families—I get it. But when fear turns inward, when self-preservation and greed replace moral courage, evil goes unchallenged. And history shows that what we ignore today will come for all of us tomorrow. 

Ironically and incredibly, I see that these Communists do not fear death in the same way most good people seem to. The only thing the Communists fear is exposure itself. And that’s good news because it may be our only option.

I’m dead serious about investigating the prosecutors themselves if they don’t hold these Minnesota fraudsters and violent mobsters accountable for what they’re doing.  Stay tuned for the videos.





O’Keefe hasn’t released his full report yet but he did post this video Saturday afternoon.
