‘PROTESTERS’ TAKE OVER SEATTLE CITY HALL

63

The anarchists declared a “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” in the wake of police giving up the week-long blockade of the East Precinct.

“I guess whatever the fuck we’re doing is effective,” one organizer identified as Magik said over a megaphone early in the night as police were still clearing the area. “They are going to move up. They are going to get everybody out of here and we are free to move through these streets and protest and march.”

The surprise pullback of SPD riot police and National Guard troops came together quickly Monday afternoon after a day of hastily clearing out equipment, moving trucks, and reports of a “mobile shredding unit” at the building at 12th and Pine that is home to the East Precinct headquarters as well as department office facilities. “The decision has been made to allow demonstrators to march past the East Precinct later today,” an announcement sent to department staff about the decision to close the building read. “Additional measures are currently underway to enhance our ongoing efforts to insure the security of our East Precinct and provide for the safety of all our officers.” (Capitol Hill Seattle)

Seattle protesters march on city hall to demand Mayor Durkan’s resignation

Hundreds of protesters swarmed city hall in Seattle Tuesday night to demand Mayor Jenny Durkan’s resignation.

The crowd chanted “Hey, hey! Ho, ho! Jenny Durkan’s got to go!” during the roughly hour-long takeover, led by Councilwoman Kshama Sawant.

Some protesters carried “Black Lives Matter” and “Durkan must go” signs, according to the Seattle Times.

“When you talk about black rights, you can’t leave out the horrific gentrification in Seattle,” Sawant told the newspaper.

She placed the blame on Amazon, which is headquartered in Seattle.

“Taxing Amazon is absolutely a part of black rights … It’s about actually putting dollars on the table to address inequities affecting the black community,” Sawant said.

The councilwoman also addressed the crowd, which overtook city hall’s lobby and steps, saying the council would soon take up legislation “banning chemical weapons and chokeholds.” She also cheered Seattle’s $15 minimum wage and pushed for better political representation that “grabs power for ordinary people.”

The protesters left peacefully around 10 p.m., with some convening on Capitol Hill — in an area dubbed “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” or CHAZ — outside the Seattle Police Department’s East Precinct. A screen that was set up played the movie “13th,” the Seattle Times reported…….

Amazon donates $10 million to organizations supporting justice and equity

(It will never be enough for these radical people.)

Donations to the NAACP, National Urban League, Thurgood Marshall College Fund, and UNCF, among others, seek to support education and justice for Black communities across the U.S.
By Amazon on June 03, 2020 (Updated: June 09, 2020)

ACLU Foundation
Black Lives Matter
Brennan Center for Justice
Equal Justice Initiative
Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law
NAACP
National Bar Association
National Museum of African American History and Culture
National Urban League
Thurgood Marshall College Fund
UNCF (United Negro College Fund)
Year Up

In addition, BEN will receive a grant to fund local organizations that support education and racial equality initiatives in communities across the country where our employees live and work.

“Amazon’s leadership and BEN have worked hand-in-hand to identify organizations in the Black community that make a difference and will contribute to them in a meaningful way. In addition to the organizations listed, we will work with our chapters to identify local groups to support,” said Angelina Howard, president of BEN. “We will continue these conversations about how Amazon can support employees and the entire Black community beyond these tragic recent events.”

Together, we stand in solidarity with the Black community—our employees, customers, and partners—in the fight against systemic racism and injustice.

Update, June 9: Since announcing our $10 million donation, we’ve heard many employees are making their own contributions—and we’ve decided to match their donations 100% up to $10,000 per employee to these 12 organizations until July 6, 2020.

Photo above: We raised the Pan-African flag on Amazon’s Seattle campus earlier this year in partnership with BEN to honor Black history and celebrate the meaning of the flag.

Amazon Pan- Africa flag hoisted at their Seattle complex. I’d bet these black protestors don’t even know what that is or could care less. It’s not about that. This is ridiculous!

BLM, ANIFA and others are trying to stage a coup d’etat. They see others don’t have the courage to confront them and it is less bloody. If I am wrong, who is stopping them?. This is why they are targeting the police. Always pay attention to whose side the police and military are on. That is either a defense for you or for them.

Hello, Michael Goldman. I’ve been very disappointed in many of this president’s actions. I DO intend to vote for him again. However, this time I won’t donate time and money, as I did in 2016. Just his “criminal justice reform” and lack of deportations that SHOULD have been done, under EXISTING law … and you can probably understand my disappointment.

Dollars ‘ll gitcha doughnuts, the left wingnut cities and states will be bailed out, with our federal tax dollars.

Michael Goldman

No they will NOT be bailed out, because that is the one thing that would make people stay home and not vote for him. I am also unhappy that the Illegals are not gone, and I am unhappy nothing was done about Sanctuary Cities and states. You do not bail out any of these states, especially since you won’t win any of them in the election. We’ll see what happens, but I do not believe he is stupid enough to sign anything that will do that.

We’re going to find out how long the President is going to let this stupidity in Seattle go on. He should have ended it already. If it goes on for a week, we absolutely have a real problem with the President. The WSJ had an article today about the President firing Esper( and Esper almost resigning.) We have a real problem there. Was Esper that stupid to realize that he had a mayor in DC that was telling people the White House should be burnt down? If that had happened, Esper would have beaten Hitlery and obozo up the gallows pole, and it won’t be the President or any politician that does it. it would have been the people. He wouldn’t have been safe anywhere.

When the irish riots, in NYNY, were ongoing, the local authorities couldn’t deal with them. As long as the irish stayed in irish areas, all was well. However, the irish moved their riots into better non-irish neighborhoods and the financial district … the thefts and broad daylight rapes were too much to take.

So, Lincoln called in the military. The irish looters and rapists were confronted in the streets. The troops were in four rows. Present – Fire. Kneel – Present – Fire.

This went on until the only thing left on the streets were dead bodies.

The irish riots ended in less than an hour, with military action.

Why can’t we deal with these riots, that self-same way?

My nephew has a business in Apple Valley, making gates for home owner security fences. He has so much business, he can’t keep up and has a 6 or 8 man crew helping. That’s how much crime is in that area. He had his wife and my brother, who lives with them, are all planning to leave California. It has become a 3rd world country, thanks to liberal lunatics.

And while my nephew makes a LOT of money with his business, he can’t sell it because people with enough money to BUY it are leaving the state. And that’s understandable.

Thanks for writing. You have my sympathy. Newscum constantly refers to California as if it isn’t part of the United States anymore. Ballot harvesting cost the Republicans 7-8 seats in 2018. The President won’t be bailing California out. It is a sanctuary state. We’ll see what happens in November. Even if the Republicans come out and vote in droves, the democrats will have bags of fake ballots ready to pull out of their trunks.

How nice that you want to defend your state. Did the President win it in 2016? I’m pretty sure he didn’t. I really hope he does win it. I pray the rest of the state isn’t like Portland. In the meantime, the governor of Oregon, like Commiefornia and Washington State( I need to come up with another name for it) consistently refer to Oregon like it was NOT part of the United States. I guess you keep missing that.

Seattle (and Portland) are the epicenter of White Elite Leftist America. The black population of Seattle is aprox 7.5% and dropping. Uber-White Seattle residents make up over 70% of the city. They are hypocrites and the most vile racists in America. Their godless self-righteous culture is morally bankrupt. They support Marxist BLM yet the vast majority of them do not live near or work with black people.
More Fun Facts about Evil Racist America
Barack Obama, the lord and savior of Marxist BLM, LBGTQ and White Elite Leftists now lives on Martha’s Vineyard. As of 2016, the island’s permanent residency was 88.1% White, 3.7% Black, 0% Asian, 1.7% Hispanic. A handful of affluent Blacks vacation on MV and have for many years but don’t believe the hype, the Island is overwhelmingly white and always has been.
Isn’t it telling that the most famous black person as well as the most famous Leftist in the world can live anywhere. money no object, yet he choose to live on a New England resort Island that is almost 90% white. Actions, as they always do, scream louder than any Marxist propaganda.
Obama is continuing the great hypocritical Leftist tradition of moving to an almost all-white segregated town after their Presidency. The Clintons moved to Chappaqua, NY, just north of NYC. Predictably, the town is 92% White, and UNDER 1% Black !!!!. There are so few black people in Chappaqua, NY, every white knows all the blacks. The joke is you can fit all of Chappaqua’s black residents in one diner booth. That way we can keep an eye on them.
Where ex-Presidents “choose” to live is calculated. It’s no accident that that they select towns with little or no black folks. Like most of White America, they are averse to crime and the heightened crime risks of living among blacks. It don’t get more racist than that.

I believe a paycheck fortifies the “effort” of the rioters. Who would pay to destroy a city or a state’s economy? Is paying people to protest legal? Who pays for the damages? At the beginning of a recent town hall, the leader asked the crowd if anybody there was a paid protester. One man got up, smiled, then looked around sheepishly when he saw he was standing alone. The man who asked seemed incredulous. “You mean,” he gulped, “somebody paid you to protest”? The man admitted it. He said there was no reason not to, as he believed in what he was doing, so why not get paid for it? The moderator pressed on and asked, “Who is paying for this, and how did you find out?” The man replied, “I went to George Soros dot com, and left my email address for them to contact me. They did, and now I get a paycheck from them.” The moderator asked if George Soros signed it, and the man indicated he did. Then the moderator asked if it was “signed in blood?”
We know the name George Soros, and Wikipedia lists him as a “philanthropist.” The way he “earned” his money is not clearly indicated as illegal, but in the aftermath, a major bank was bankrupted, and currency manipulation laws were changed. Arrest warrants are pending for him in more than one country, but the American Left has their hero. I would not stand up for him. He clearly has a not so well hidden agenda, but he is old, and well connected to the Clinton Crime Corp. (Guess who Chelsea is related to)?

Russia has asked the U.S. Government to extradite Soros to Russia for a trial THERE, but the U.S. Government is protecting Soros from Russia, for some unknown reason. And yes, it is a known fact that Soros is paying rioters and looters $200 each, plus bussing them to cities that he wants they to hit. What I don’t understand is why our government hasn’t arrested Soros!!

He has not broken American laws. He is covered under the First Amendment. To extradite, a person has to brreak the law only if it is in effect in both countries.
During Vietnam, draft dodgers went to Canada which had no draft, so what was illegal here wasn’t there, and they would not extradite them.
