"Autonomous Zones" have been part of the ANTIFA/BLM marching orders from the beginning
Remember Nathan Caraway (see graphic), read the blitz of MSM articles that were published immediately after he was identified in a video giving money & telling a black man on a bike to "Go get everything you need to find," he is heard saying. Caraway refers to a "team" and says, "There's more stuff they need to put out here." He then mentions moving a couple of picnic tables to where they are.
MSM defended Caraway's actions as "organizing a safe-zone", AKA the founding of the first Autonomous Zone
