Watch: Antifa Does A Hostile Take Over Of A Business To Create Autonomous Zone & Is Getting The City To Pay For It
Fresh off their victory in Portland Antifa is continuing to grow, and now they are trying to create a housing area.
Antifa activists took over 16 motel rooms at a Travelodge outside Tacoma, Washington on Christmas Eve. After paying for the first night, they are now refusing to leave and demanding the local government pay their tab.
The group Tacoma Housing Now, made up of Antifa activists paid the first night and now they are refusing to leave. The Antifa website, “It’s Going down” wrote a post declaring that their members are “veterans” of the recent Antifa street battles in Olympia, Washington.
According to the Antifa backed group “Housing people in unoccupied hotels doesn’t ruin anyone‘s business,” Tacoma House Now tweeted in response.

“If you care about protecting empty spaces more than saving human lives, that says a lot about your ethics and values. We will not accept one more death on the streets!” the Twitter account later declared.

Under local laws, the group is trespassing on private property and the poor hotel manager is asking officials for help. Shawn Randhawa, the motel operator, told KOMO News that if the rooms go unpaid he’s going to have to shut down the motel, which has already been destroyed by the pandemic. Randhawa said that the protests in his parking lot have kept paying customers away.
“We paid for the first night and now we’re demanding that the city and county pay for the other nights we’ve been here.”

Around sixty protesters have been protesting outside the motel and some of those activists took over two additional rooms.
“I’m just devastated,” Randhawa told The News Tribune. “Because of the protest, I have nothing else. I was barely getting through this pandemic, and now this. This Christmas, the Grinch came.” I’ll have to lock the doors. and if the city won’t kick them out, they can have it,” he told The News Tribune. “I’ll shut off the water and I’m not fighting with these people. I believe there should be a law.”
It doesn’t appear Randhawa is going to get any help from the city. Fife City Manager Hyun Kim told KIRO 7, that the hotel was going to probably close anyway and the hotel needs to start a conversation.”
Kim added, “This is a societal issue. We have to start the dialogue, but this kind of confrontation, this kind of being splashy about how to get this moving forward is going to lead to more distrust on both sides.”
Randhawa said, “They are keeping me hostage. No one is out to help me,” he said. “It’s complete lawlessness in the city of Fife.”
What we really have is Antifa using the homeless as a shield to take over property and businesses.
The city is too scared to confront Antifa and they are going to sacrifice an American business and people’s jobs to appease Antifa.
Officials are blind to what is happening in front of them, Antifa is literally creating an autonomous state right before their eyes. CHAZ was a nightmare and was public property and was shut down. Then Portland Antifa took over a home and successfully negotiated with the city and they were allowed to stay in the residence. Seattle’s Antifa took a house over but was eventually repelled by Police. Antifa has now gone into a smaller city and taken over a hotel. They brought in the homeless to use them as an excuse to take over private property and want COVID-19 relief funds or money from defunding local police departments to pay their bill.
It will not be long before Antifa tries to take over a small town or city.
