It appears the CHAZ street sign is staying for now as the man climbed off the ladder and a struggle broke out over control of the ladder. A woman asks, “Is anyone in charge?”pic.twitter.com/IeSQY96J6A

After there were arguments over whether the CHAZ sign should be removed last night, one man criticized the crowd for using the zone as an excuse to party and bicker over petty stuff. He told them to remember the true reason why they are occupying the zone.pic.twitter.com/bDynErMo2K

Can confirm this sign in the CHAZ is real. It says this plot is for black, indigenous, and their plant allies for gardening.pic.twitter.com/hKtUXajJlX

There is a growing consensus to rename the area from the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” to the “Capitol Hill Occupied Protest.” An occupier is trying to remove one of the CHAZ street signs.pic.twitter.com/xgv7oiFsOF

A scuffle broke out in the zone after a man came around screaming that this is a “Christ Zone.” A masked guy then tried to block my phone from recording the incident.pic.twitter.com/Z0XU8ZZyhw

The confrontation continued in the CHAZ/CHOP as the “Christ Zone” guy accused someone of stealing his phone. A person came up and said, “Mental health, we got this.” To which another person said, “No, you don’t ‘got this!’” It was eventually resolved.pic.twitter.com/gDwngQdZz7

When they were trying to get the man off the stage in the CHAZ/CHOP, one woman asked the crowd if there were any white people who had experience in security.https://twitter.com/jasonrantz/status/1271930011264487429 …

The crowd took offense when one of the American flag people called the CHAZ/CHOP a “communist hellhole.” Some in the crowd told the others to not give them attention. One black man said it was wrong for the pro-CHAZ white people to tell them what to do.pic.twitter.com/ex5Q4xe2B2

As the American flag people tried to leave the CHAZ, some drink was was thrown on them. The crowd called them white supremacists. One CHAZer asked how a black man simply holding an American flag makes him a white supremacist.pic.twitter.com/2DSr8uEnaY

More evidence the people in the zone are determined to change the name from CHAZ to CHOP, I’ve seen it stand for “Capitol Hill Occupy Protest” and “Capitol Hill Organized Protest.”pic.twitter.com/qx3Az1YXfI

Forgot to post this, but one speaker last week said because he’s “half black, half Mexican, half Native American, half Jewish” he has had trouble feeling a sense of belonging as other minorities haven’t viewed him as one of them. He added he’s had a cop kneel into his neck too.pic.twitter.com/dJTIfobf0N
