Stealing vs Unplanned Donation in Chaz

[nilbog]

I saw this on Reddit and curious what Era thinks. Someone living in a tent in Chaz had all of their valuables stolen. They were given some donations but told not to expect anything else back. A community member chimed in that it was an unplanned donation, someone else needed the stuff more.

What's your take?

Yay anarchy!

Wait what the crap anarchy give me my stuff back.

What I think is without a video showing the lead up to the thing happening and the response I do not believe stories told on the internet.

Edit: I'm not saying this person didn't get their stuff stolen but that I don't think a reddit post and comments give me enough to convince me that I have the full story.

Yeah that's theft.

Who could have predicted this?

I fully believe somebody might have stuff stolen from within the zone, but that's literally true of any mass campsite. It's basically no different from having stuff from your tent looted at a music festival. Common sense dictates you leave that locked up, or on your person.

At the same time, this whole situation is so rich with people trying to paint shit in a negative light that believing any story on that subreddit without detailed evidence is also common sense.

What is the Chaz?

Edit: just read the Reddit screenshot - what is the Cap Hill Autonomous Zone?

nobody is going to have a greater need for a computer they cannot unlock or use. the only possible use for that is to sell it, which is theft

What is the Chaz?

the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone which is an experimental anarchist commune in Seattle that popped up during the protests

BS trolling or not, if "unplanned donation" catches on, it'll be the exact phrase that tanks the whole thing in the eyes of normies.

This is why I'm an authoritarian lefty.

Wtf am I reading...

Also, it's a fucking tent! It's a piece of fabric! How fucking secure do you think a zipper is going to be?!

How dumb must you be to leave all your valuables lying around in a tent lol

Assuming the story is true and not someone trolling Reddit.

Yeah this. It's like being at a festival, don't leave anything behind you don't mind losing.

By theft I imagine you mean collateral for trade negotiations with neighbor states

It turns out running a society, no matter how small, is difficult, and requires someone to be in charge to make sure someone doesn't make an "unplanned donation" out of all your stuff.

It's also really obvious they are letting this go on until it falls apart on its own and hey that might not be too far from now if you've got people in there making "unplanned donations" on behalf of other people.

no victim blaming unless it happens in the glorious democratic republic of chaz.

"They are now reviewing webcam and community sourced footage to help reallocate my items"

sounds like they already took care of that
