Seattle: mostly peaceful riots breakout, cops attacked with explosives

The Democratic city of Seattle faced another round of riots Saturday night with more than a baker's dozen of rioters being arrested for a bunch of alleged crimes.

Police "arrested 16 individuals after various acts of property destruction, assault, and vandalism" took place, say the police.  

“A group of protestors [aka Marxist scumwafers] left Cal Anderson Park shortly after 9 PM Saturday heading North. A few members of the group were seen committing acts of vandalism and property damage along the way. The group slowly made their way to the 1600 block of East Olive Way where they shattered windows and threw explosives into a coffee shop.

The police department said that arrests were also made for failure to disperse and rendering criminal assistance after the rioters attacked police officers with what officials said was an “explosive.”

The purpose of the rioting was to protest violence and to serve the memory of those black folks who violently resisted arrest and put the lives of police in danger. Some brave souls were on scene and tweeted:

Seattle has been one of the hubs of violent anti-violence protests by Marxist thugs. Most of the violent sentiment has been waged against police and perpetrated by young people with authority issues stemming from their childhoods and spurred on, in some cases, by their college professors who hate America and what it stands for.

It has gotten so bad there that the Department of Justice has designated the city an "anarchist jurisdiction."

In order to determine whether a U.S. city fits the criteria for such a designation, the DOJ released the following criteria:

Whether a jurisdiction forbids the police force from intervening to restore order amid widespread or sustained violence or destruction. 

Whether a jurisdiction has withdrawn law enforcement protection from a geographical area or structure that law enforcement officers are lawfully entitled to access but have been officially prevented from accessing or permitted to access only in exceptional circumstances, except when law enforcement officers are briefly withheld as a tactical decision intended to resolve safely and expeditiously a specific and ongoing unlawful incident posing an imminent threat to the safety of individuals or law enforcement officers. 

Whether a jurisdiction disempowers or defunds police departments. 

Whether a jurisdiction unreasonably refuses to accept offers of law enforcement assistance from the Federal Government. 

Any other related factors the Attorney General deems appropriate.

 Regarding Seattle, the DOJ stated:

For nearly a month, starting in June, the City of Seattle permitted anarchists and activists to seize six square blocks of the city’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, naming their new enclave the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” (CHAZ) and then the “Capitol Hill Occupied Protest” (CHOP). 

Law enforcement and fire fighters were precluded m entering the territory. The Seattle Police Department was ordered to abandon their precinct within the CHOP.

Person-related crime in the CHOP increased 525% from the same period of time in the same area the year before, including by Mayor Durkan’s own count “two additional homicides, 6 additional robberies, and 16 additional aggravated assaults (to include 2 additional non-fatal shootings).” 

The CHOP was allowed to stand for nearly a month, during which time two teenagers were shot and killed in the zone. 

The Seattle City Council, Mayor Durkan, and Washington Governor Jay Inslee publicly rejected federal involvement in law enforcement activities within the city of Seattle.

So now that the DOJ has called a foul on Seattle, what will happen next, in terms of rectifying the situation, remains to be seen. So far the miscreants who run these cities and states are still unpunished while all that Republicans seem to do is go on Fox News and complain.

C'mon, man. You know you want to follow Brain Flushings--it's free and worth every penny. And remember, every time you click on an ad, an angel gets its wings and a liberal sheds a tear.
