Some people associated with it have recently put up their own website: https://caphillauto.zone/ https://caphillauto.zone/ You can watch live footage of the zone, read their demands, and see the answers to some FAQs. There is a lot of purposeful misinformation going around - rumors of food shortages, extortion, and "paramilitary death squads." These aren't true, to say the least.

How do you know that the local shops aren't being extorted? You think the shop owners consented to this takeover? Is it really far-fetched to believe that these shop owners expect violence to their property and possibly their person if they do not participate?

  > How do you know that the local shops aren't being extorted? of course it is, like, physically possible that that's happening. There's just no evidence of it happening, so there's no reason to believe it.

  How do we know you don’t have a girl in your basement tied up? That’s not how things work.

  Because the local shops have said that they're not being extorted. They're happy to have all the local business.

I'm a socialist (not normal though more libertarian/non-statist), and support this sort of thing, generally. I'm like not opposed, let's say. However, I feel it's kind of a distraction at this specific moment, from what's going on and may actually hinder the BLM movement or at least stifle it's momentum... I mean: A. Cops give you a sandbox to play in, you claim it. You love it. You're not annoying the neighbors. B. You peacefully march through the richest neighbors day/night, and a different area each day bringing awareness to people from multiple places and on multiple fronts... While marching they should also be doing a HUGE voter driver and GTVO (I'm green party, but doesn't matter we need people to give a damn enough to vote whether for Biden or Howie). an aside, lol the website sounds like it's for an auto-zone... They need to pick a better name.

  People can do multiple things. Just the other day they went from the Autonomous Zone down to City Hall. There's a ton of people signing petitions and sharing information down there, it's not just a block party. And yeah the website name is not great. :P
