Seattle under mandatory curfew amid violent protests after George Floyd rally

By Kings5.com, May 30, 2020

Seattle is under mandatory curfew orders amid violent downtown protests that started as a peaceful rally over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody. Crowds are ordered to evacuate the downtown corridor immediately.

Several Seattle police and city transit vehicles were set on fire, along with the property damage and looting of dozens of downtown businesses.

Gov. Jay Inslee has activated up to 200 members of the Washington National Guard to help the city of Seattle. Guard personnel will be unarmed and work under the direction of Seattle city leadership.

Inslee’s Chief of Staff David Postman says this is the first time the National Guard has been called into Seattle since the WTO Riots in 1999.

Washington State Ferries has closed Colman Dock until further notice amid the curfew orders.

Both directions of I-5 through downtown Seattle remain closed.

Emergency alerts were sent to cell phones across the region from the city’s Office of Emergency Management.

Seattle police say people in the crowd threw fireworks towards people attending the rally and injured citizens and officers. Police said there have been multiple arrests.

Seattle’s curfew is in effect until 5 a.m. Sunday.

Mayor Durkan spoke about the violence and her curfew orders shortly after 6 p.m. Saturday. “The escalated incidents of destruction and violence do not honor Mr. Floyd.”

Durkan emphasized that George Floyd’s family has condemned the destructive protests that have been happening across the country this week. The violent demonstrations “cannot and will not be allowed to continue,” Durkan said.

The governor is a moron. First mistake, you do not send in unarmed guards where violent vandalists and terrorists are and throwing objects at peopble and police. Seattle is out of control with no leadership to tolerate this nonsense. I was stuck on I-5 when these non-violent snot-nozed kids were walking between cars. I haven’t set foot in sewer Seattle in ten years. Couldn’t pay me to visit that cesspool city.

So it appears. But thankfully, arrests are happening. Over 1,400 so far. But the person who sent them out hasn’t yet been arrested (Soros)!

Hopefully, we’ll see Soros is orange jumpsuit soon. Antifa has been declared a domestic terrorist organization and he is the chief funder.

If you were paying attention, you’d see that half the monkeys were WHITE!! Antifa is mostly white!! Black Lives Matter is a mixed mess. But Soros is behind the whole hellish war on this country!! And Soros should be hauled in and held without bail!

They want this because they were losing the lock down BS! Now they can enact curfews and martial law is correct.

Those riots have NOTHING to do with George Floyd and EVERYTHING to do with Soros taking the opportunity to attempt to destroy the United States when it’s at it’s weakest point from the Lockdown! Soros MUST be brought to justice!!!

That should have already happened, and probably would have immediately tamped down the rioting and looting. ALL looters should be shot on sight.
