SEATTLE, WA.- Buckle up CHAZ…Patriots are on their way.
Why? Well, if Seattle and Washington State officials aren’t going to do anything about the anarchists occupying something in the neighborhood of 6 city blocks, someone is.
While Seattle mayor Jenny Durkan and Washington governor Jay Inslee have put their tails between their legs and made fools out of themselves, there are those who are tiring of the games being played out in our country’s 18th largest city.
Is there any debate that this is the worst mayor of any city in American history? https://t.co/Sl4OObo4Vk

According to Heavy, an event has been posted on Facebook in which a call is being put out for “American Patriots” to retake the so-called autonomous zone in Seattle, which has been named “CHAZ. The event, which has been scheduled for July 4, already has around 2,000 RSVPs with another 15,000 expressing interest in the event.

The event is called “American Patriots Retake the Seattle Occupation Zone for America,” scheduled for the 4th of July at 12 p.m. Pacific time. The cover photo for the event says, “Not Today Antifa” and refers to events in Berkeley, Portland, Charlottesville, and Boston.
As the Union Journal notes, there was no implication that any type of violence was going to be undertaken, however as they note the likelihood of the Antifa and BLM goons who are occupying this part of Seattle going away without a fight seems unlikely.
As they rightly note however, neither the mayor nor the police department under the direction of Chief Carmen Best put up much of a fight when these bozos took over the capitol district of Seattle. In fact, Durkan referred to it as basically a “peaceful block party,” which would lead to a “summer of love.”
Enough is enough. These patriots are taking back Seattle from Antifa terrorists.. because the Democrats are to cowardly to do so themselves

The event’s description reads:
On July 4th, Independence day, a coalition of patriot groups and all who want to join are going to retake the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone for America. Antifa members are illegally occupying public property and terrorizing small businesses in the neighborhood. American patriots have agreed to come together again, remove the barricades illegally obstructing traffic, and free the people in the zone.
We will meet at volunteer park throughout the morning and then in the early afternoon march on the CHAZ.
You do not need a bike to join. Any and all patriots with all vehicles are coming to this event.
We are not going to hurt anybody, break the law, etc. We are simply going to tear down the illegal barriers on public property, clean up the mess these communist kids made, and return the police station over to Seattle Police Department control.
The event goes on to add:
Bikers will use any of multiple staging areas being offered by local patriots with land. They can stage there in safety and then rally together to downtown by noon. Ground troops without bikes will meet in the city of Seattle and rally all morning until noon. Together we will then march and ride to the CHAZ where we will eliminate the unlawful barricades shutting CHAZ out from the United States. We will bring CHAZ back into the fold.
Among the groups which are listed as being a part of the event’s “confirmed lineup is Oath Keepers, which is “one of the largest radical antigovernment groups in the U.S. today,” and which “claims tens of thousands of present and former law enforcement officials and military veterans as members,” according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which is a questionable source of in-formation at best.
Other groups include:
- Prntly
- Patriots of Washington
- South Sound Patriot
- Super Happy Fun America
- American Patriots
- Washington Patriots Militia
- The Black Rebel
- Club USA
- Black Rifle Brotherhood
Prntly, which is a conservative publication is hosting the event.
The event, according to an article published by Prntly, was initially going to be called “Bikers for Trump Retake the Seattle Occupation Zone for America,” and was scheduled for June 21. However, the article about that event now refers people to the Facebook event scheduled for July 4.
There had been rumors at one time that said the Hells Angels were going to retake CHAZ, however a Hells Angel leader said those rumors were false.
Things could soon get interesting in Seattle without a national guard or military. Some bloggers from the United States have reported that the California Hells Angels and Mongols, along with several thousand people, are on their way to Seattle…..CHAZ turns back into CHEZ pic.twitter.com/beflJb3eRg

The organizer of the event is a man named Alexander Portelli. He posted in the Facebook group on June 15, writing:
“I am the one who started this. I’m a longtime conservative activist and entrepreneur who lives in Vegas. We have a great team of patriots from many groups putting the event together and sponsoring it though. If they choose to post then they will.
“We are going to be in Seattle in the beginning of July, and we will march from centurylink field to CHAZ. We will carry flags and play patriotic music, and we will rally right in the center of CHAZ. We mean no violence, and if this is the peaceful block party they say it is, then they will have no issues with us doing so.”
The group is not seeking donations, he said.
On June 15, Prntly posted goals for the event, which were similar to the page’s information page, with some added details:
“On July 4th, Independence Day, a coalition of patriot groups and all who want to join are going to retake the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone for America. Antifa members are illegally occupying public property and terrorizing small businesses in the neighborhood. American patriots have agreed to come together again, remove the barricades illegally obstructing traffic, and free the people in the zone.
Bring American flags.
We’ll meet in Centurylink field all morning on July 4th.
We will then march through CHAZ with our flags through the barricades.
We will also clean up all vandalism and graffiti that has tarnished statues and monuments
We’ll hold another speech and rally in the center of CHAZ.
We will let them know what we think of the Socialism that their councilwoman Sawant says she wants to force on America
We’ll let Antifa know that they will not bully Christians or people of different viewpoints in Seattle ever again.
You do not need a bike to join. Any and all patriots with all vehicles are coming to this event.
We are not going to hurt anybody, break the law, etc. We are simply going to tear down the illegal barriers on public property, clean up the mess these communist kids made, and return the police station over to Seattle Police Department control.”
July 4, 2020. 244 years after America gained her independence from British goons. Hopefully the day these goons in Seattle are sent packing once and for all.
