发帖数: 29846 | 1 Stunner: Mostly Peaceful May Day March Turns Violent in Seattle, Eight Cops
Injured
by Jammie
Gee, who could have seen this coming? Well, except for the fact every year
these so-called “peaceful” protests turns violent.
Seattle police were determined during the day to let protesters
peacefully move about the city while not tolerating lawbreaking affecting
property and peoples’ safety. By nightfall, police were using pepper spray
and pushing protesters back. The night ended with 18 arrests and eight
officers.
Hundreds of sign-carrying, flag-waving demonstrators jammed downtown
streets Wednesday in a series of May Day marches and rallies — some at the
peak of afternoon rush hour — protesting capitalism, promoting worker
rights and pushing for changes in federal immigration laws.
From the Central Area to Capitol Hill to downtown, the daytime marches
and rallies were peaceful. But by 8 p.m. the scene was starting to show
signs reminiscent of May Day 2012, when groups of demonstrators, including
black-clad anarchists, broke free from a march and smashed windows in
businesses, a courthouse and cars.
Well, they only have to harken back to 2012 to know these animals were going
to riot.
By evening’s end Wednesday, police were pushing the mob back using
pepper spray, there were 18 arrests and eight officers injured — mostly
scrapes and bruises — and the streets were littered with debris.
From the start, police seemed determined to carry out their main goal:
Let protesters peacefully move about the city while not tolerating
lawbreaking affecting property and safety.
Memo to the Seattle PD: Communist agitators are not peaceful. Meanwhile,
some illegals are demanding respect and want to be treated with dignity. Why
, of course.
At the rally in Judkins Park, Pablo Alvarado, of Shelton, Mason County,
wore long sheets of sketch paper over his clothes, scrawled with marker: “
We are not immigrants, not criminals … not foreigners” it said on the
front. And on the back it added: “We are original inhabitants of this
continent.”
Alvarado, who said he was an undocumented worker originally from Mexico,
said he wanted to achieve legal status and to be treated with dignity.
Try not being a criminal first and we’ll work from there, OK, Pablo? By the
way, did we mention things were peaceful until all the violence broke out?
Several dozen protesters, many using bandanas to cover their faces,
began clashing with police in downtown Seattle hours after a peaceful
immigrant-rights march ended.
Naturally the Associated Press pushed this peaceful nonsense.

Even the ass-kissing mayor of Seattle said things were peaceful. Up until
all the violence broke out.
Despite lacking a permit to march, Seattle police escorted them as
through downtown.
“That first march came downtown. It was absolutely peaceful…it was
almost a festive affair and they had some serious messages, too, that they
wanted to express. No incidents whatsoever,” McGinn said. “The second
march was very different, and it wasn’t just merely because it was
unpermitted. I think it also had to do with the nature of the individuals in
it and what they wanted to do.”
Gee, ya think? |
