"...nobody is stepping up to band together and do something about it..."

Why should they? If folks immediately impacted because they live there, or own property there need to act, I am sure they will either act or bleat for help. I am unaware that anyone has.

Pretty sure if people were pleading for help from the outside world, I'd have heard about it from folks like yourself, though.

Other than folks there, who has any right or interest in doing something about it? Why does it so offend you that rather than let the folks there handle their affairs you call for the implementation of martial law to end that offense to your sensibilities? What actual business is it of yours, or anyone besides them as own property or live there?

Even then, while I can see that devout statists will absolutely seek to invade CHAZ militarily upon the first cry for help from business owners or residents there, I don't see it as particularly necessary. Folks that can't abide there can just flee and abandon all they own.

I've done it. It's unpleasant, but quick and easy.

Leaving them to their business will edify all concerned IMHO. If they can't defend themselves and their property, no one will learn more than the defenseless, and no one better needs to learn that lesson. If they flee, they can always seek legal remedy in court for the tortuous harm they've suffered. Again, that will be an edifying process to watch proceed. This particularly because the governments that claim to be responsible for that place and it's residents and property owners have just abandoned them. I expect the state to be one of the primary defendants in any such action, as well as the SPD.

Has anyone sought legal remedy for financial or other harm yet? I am unaware such claims have been pursued.

If the BLM and Antifa revolutionaries aren't daily learning valuable lessons, I'd be shocked. Particularly if tort actions are commenced and they're named defendants, good will be done, at least educationally.

Unless some kind of pogrom or rabid violence begins there and folks are held captive, I don't see any need to act. While there's been continuing unrest and unsavory speech coming out of CHAZ, that don't confront me. I have greater respect for the rebels than the offices of state and local governments that simply abandoned that area and it's people to the rebels. I'd as soon leave them be as not, and absent pleas for help from the outside world from folks trapped there, I'll stick to that plan.

I find it quite telling that no mass exodus of residents has happened. Either I'm far more poorly informed that I think I am, or folks living there apparently find it tolerable.

Cops aren't getting in, neither is the Fire Department, and I assume garbage service, electricity, water, communications, and etc. are all on the line. If folks there want any of those services they'll pay for them and make sure they can be provided. Ain't none of my business either way.

Why is it yours?
