I'm just stunned [and saddened] that anywhere in this once great nation, part of a city could be taken over without so much as a skirmish! The consequences of this happening almost anywhere else would be lots of dead anarchists. There would be a literal war to take back the town/city in many other states.
We should fence it off, establish a military perimeter and then cut the power and water & food supply coming in... then hand them a bill for the tax assessor's valuation for the entire area and say that after they buy all the property, we will consider selling them food, water and power for their fantasy land. We can extort them for military "protection" since they have no external borders in that donut hole. They haven't thought about food so I wonder if they have any money to run a local clinic or hospital inside?
Enough is enough...
