> In the book, Bowles tells the stories she wasn’t allowed to tell at the [New York] Times: She writes, for example, about Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, which transformed into a police-free “autonomous zone
She has a book to sell, and she’s using the well-trodden path of outrage on right wing news sites to sell it.
Meanwhile her story is actually published in the New York Times. Although I was at CHAZ and i don’t know if this is a good-faith retelling of the situation. For example, not mentioning the violence experienced in Chaz was not due to lack of police but rather right wing counter protesters roaming and causing trouble.
