New Video Clears Up What Happened in the CHOP Shooting
Turns out an 18-month video deep-dive finally solved the mystery of how a Black teen was shot inside Seattle’s famous protest zone.
Remember the police-free autonomous zone set up in Seattle back in 2020? The idea was to create a safe space, but running a makeshift security force with zero training went about as smoothly as expected.
When 16-year-old Antonio Mays Jr. drove into the zone, tense volunteer guards panicked. Hours of newly analyzed video from an 18-month investigation reveal that protesters completely mistook him for an active threat before opening fire.
An anti-violence protest zone end up operating like an untrained, trigger-happy vigilante group.
