Here's my unedited footage of the shooting at the Seattle #CHAZ / #CHOP free zone tonight: twitch.tv/videos/6578350…

I have no details on what happened besides what appears in the video. Afterwards no one laid hands on me but they did take my phone. They then gave it back. ↓
I want to be clear that the guy who took my phone and the CHOP security team never laid hands on me. The phone was grabbed from my hand but that was it. The injuries I showed on stream were from running away from the gun shots and falling over. A medic came over and helped me
Wash the wounds and then bandage them. That's when the guy w my phone returned with James (green mask guy) and they gave me my phone back. I obviously disagree w the guy who grabbed my phone but want to be clear that in the end no harm was done. Green mask guy has been on my
Stream many times in the past and was super open about how he and others were working to protect the community. I had criticisms about that work and he was open and listened to me. I always felt like he was watching out for me out there which is why you can hear me calling out
For James Madison. Everyone on security knows him and he helped me get my phone back which I appreciate. I'm home and safe now and going to take some time to recover. I may do a stream tomorrow to talk more about my experience. Anyone still out there please stay safe.
If people want to see what happened please only link back to the original video here: twitch.tv/videos/6578350…

I feel its important to keep the orig video up because I've seen news and other channels actually editing elements into my footage in other CHOP videos.
If you see other channels or news outlets using my footage without permission or linking back to the original / raw source video please tell them to stop. I want to ensure full context is preserved (it was a 4hr stream) and ensure an unaltered record exists without edits.

Yesterday I was detained for streaming in the #Seattle free zone (#CHAZ / #CHOP)

"This is not a public park anymore, this is CHOP zone"
"There is no media allowed in here"

*Grabs me by my jacket and backpack from behind choking me*

"Help!"
"Who's going to help you?"
First off, I've been streaming for weeks around Seattle and in the free zone. twitch.tv/shawngui People know me and know that I don't intend anyone any harm. I've enjoyed the majority of my experiences w people in the zone. The problem is, when you do have a bad experience
like this one, its very clear you're totally on your own. There was no volunteer CHOP security nearby. When I called out for help it only drew more people to me that were just as interested in holding me until their demands for me to stop my stream and delete my footage were met.

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
