“#Portland lets Antifa win big \u2014 again<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Last week, Portland law \u00adenforcers raided a house that had for months been \u00adillegally occupied by trespassers affiliated with Black Lives Matter and Antifa. At the barricaded property, officers made arrests and found a stockpile of firearms.<\/p>\n

Under normal circumstances, the armed trespassers would be prosecuted, and that would be the end of the story. But in riot-plagued Portland, things are very far from normal.<\/p>\n

The city\u2019s \u201cprogressive\u201d district attorney immedia<\/a>tely dropped the charges against the occupiers, and their comrades soon sent in reinforcements to build a sprawling autonomous zone in the middle of a densely populated residential area.<\/p>\n

The militants called the place the Red House Autonomous Zone \u2014 named after the red-colored house occupied at the heart of the zone. In doing so, they took inspiration from Seattle\u2019s Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone. During the summer, leftist extremists chased police out of a six-block area of the Emerald City and drew their own \u201cborders,\u201d complete with checkpoints manned by armed \u201csecurity.\u201d The three-week \u00adexperiment in lawlessness ended in mass vandalism, \u00adattempted rape, multiple shootings and two homicides.<\/p>\n

Portland\u2019s RHAZ is following in the same footsteps.<\/p>\n

The house at the center of the autonomous zone was occupied by members of the Kinney family and their allies. The Kinneys, who haven\u2019t paid their mortgage since 2017, were evicted after a tortuous legal process. The fact that they own a second house nearby didn\u2019t prevent the mixed-race Kinneys and their allies from claiming victimization by \u2014 you guessed it \u2014 \u201cracism.\u201d<\/p>\n

Soon after last week\u2019s raid on the occupied house, some 100 Antifa comrades mobilized through social media to retake the space. \u201cThere is an active call for numbers, defensive gear and supplies and change of clothes,\u201d tweeted Antifa group Youth Liberation Front.<\/p>\n

Within a few hours, the entire street was blocked off with stolen fencing, wood and junk taken from nearby homes. Some brought in power tools to reinforce the barriers. The militants laid out piles of rocks, metal spikes and glass bottles at strategic points to act as supply points for projectile weapons. They lined the road with impromptu \u201cbooby traps\u201d \u2014 upward-facing nail strip<\/a>s, caltrops and more.<\/p>\n

Portland police officers tried to shut down the RHAZ early on, but they were attacked and chased away. Their police cruisers were smashed up; they didn\u2019t return.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose present at the barricades should leave it behind, put down your weapons and allow the neighborhood to return to peace and order,\u201d Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell asked the militants, who ignored his polite request.<\/p>\n

To protect their autonomous zone, the militants had their own team of roving \u201csecurity,\u201d like at CHAZ. They openly carried rifles and pistols. Neighborhood families felt terrorized; some have left.<\/p>\n

RHAZ widened its territorial expanse by the day. The militants added additional barricades further out from the red house to act as a buffer. Graffiti marked their new land: \u201cHang your landlord.\u201d \u201cLandlords get the wall.\u201d \u201cKill a cop.\u201d<\/p>\n

The slogan \u201cFree Gage\u201d also plastered the zone. Antifa militant Gage Halupowski was convicted and imprisoned last year over the unprovoked beating of a Portland man during an Antifa riot downtown. Halupowski struck Adam Kelly on the head with a baton, busting open his head.<\/p>\n

And while many media outlets served as apologists for Antifa during the long months of rioting, reporters didn\u2019t find refuge in RHAZ. A local news<\/a> crew was surrounded and assaulted for walking in. The female \u00adreporter at the scene was treated at hospital for a bloody hand injury. \u201cKill press,\u201d Antifa wrote in several locations to warn other outlets after that. They also wrote my name and an address on a large wall.<\/p>\n

After six days of violent anarchy, Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler announced at a news conference that an \u201cagreement\u201d had been reached, though he didn\u2019t spill the details. By Tuesday, some of the barricades had come down, allowing vehicular traffic through for the first time in a week.<\/p>\n

The Kinneys, however, denied that an agreement had been reached. They said they will continue to occupy the property, even though a viral GoFundMe campaign for the family has already raised more than $308,000 \u2014 far more than what it would cost to buy the red house (and remember, they own a house nearby, as well).<\/p>\n

The City of Portland, meanwhile, has set a perilous new precedent: It will not only negotiate with extremists, it will accommodate their bizarre demands. <\/p>\n
