I was streaming when the incident happened at CHAZ last night in Seattle. An auto shop near the zone was broken into (Car Tender), property stolen, and a fire started. The owners called the police and fire dept but they were told they would not show up. Full THREAD with clips ↓

The man who broke in then returned to the scene of the crime while I was streaming. The owners knew what he looked like because they held him briefly to question him and to recover some of their property. He was released when a group from CHAZ arrived and broke down their gate.

The man then fled the scene back to CHAZ where he was held and questioned by CHAZ security along with the car shop owners. The goal was to try to search his pockets and multiple bags since money and car keys were still unaccounted for. #CHAZ #CHOP #Seattle #seattleprotests

The man did empty some of his pockets and bags but not all of them. Talks proceeded mostly calmly for a long time until things got more heated as the suspect continually tried to walk away. #CHAZ #CHOP #Seattle #seattleprotests #seattleprotest

Things started to get out of hand and a member of CHAZ security stepped in to pull the suspect away from everyone else. The suspect then fled further into CHAZ on foot and the shop owners didn't manage to recover any more property besides a jacket he had taken from their shop.

I compiled all of these clips into one video on my YouTube channel here:

I've been going down to the Seattle protests and CHAZ for weeks. I support the BLM movement and the vast majority of my streams show the excellent work going on in Seattle. I also think showing incidents like this are important for fair criticism and improvement.

I'd like to continue documenting the Seattle protest / CHAZ scene from my perspective. If you'd like to help I need 1,000 youtube subscribers before I'm able to livestream on the youtube mobile app. I don't know why youtube has this restriction but it does youtube.com/c/shawngui

Until the YT channel gets to 1k subs I'll be streaming Seattle coverage every day on Twitch at twitch.tv/shawngui
