    Seattle is the Greece of the US -- they are pro level rioters with a plan and it's not a nice, organized Hong Kong protest they want some chaos.

    We are missing the part of the story where the police abandoned the station. If you watch FoxNews you’d think that Antifa military forces rolled up in tanks and used swat tactics to bust in and attack the place like Seal Team 6.

    I live north of Seattle. Seattle has been dying for quite awhile now courtesy of Durkan and the city council. They turned this once beautiful Emerald city into a homeless encampments. The police cannot even enforcing the laws in the city because they were ordered by this doofus mayor for years to stand down. Things got so bad, lots of officers quit, the force is completely depleted, and the funniest thing happened, last year she enticed veteran cops to join the force with a 15k sign on bonus, talking about the ultimate liberal comedy. The dumbass governor Inslee with the failed presidential campaign is right behind her in trying his best to fukk over Washingtonians. I moved from TX a couple of years ago to this place and I’m just telling you guys my personal impression of this state and the people. There are a lot of normal moderate to conservative people here, but they have been beating down by liberal rules and madness for years that they have a lot penned up rage inside. The rules and regulations here are endless comparing to TX. The most ironic thing is governor dumbass and his assistant the mayor dumber will not let us reopen for business but allowed these kind of anarchy actions on Seattle streets running wild.

    Man suspected of hate crime for allegedly threatening to kill U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal

    https://www.seattletimes.com/seattl...-threatening-to-kill-u-s-rep-pramila-jayapal/

    excerpt:

    A 48-year-old South Seattle man was arrested Saturday on suspicion of a hate crime for threatening to kill U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, according to King County prosecutors.

    A judge on Monday ordered the man remain jailed in lieu of $500,000 bail but denied prosecutors’ request for an anti-harassment order protecting Jayapal, said Casey McNerthney, a prosecutors spokesperson.

    Jayapal, 56, is a former state senator who became the first Indian American woman elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2016. A Democrat, Jayapal represents Washington’s 7th Congressional District, which includes most of Seattle. Jayapal was born in India and came to the U.S. at 16 to begin college at Georgetown University.

    “Congresswoman Jayapal confirms that incidents occurred at her Seattle home on Saturday night when she was present. The Congresswoman and her family are safe and appreciate the many calls and good wishes she is receiving from constituents,” spokesperson Siham Zniber wrote in an emailed statement Monday evening. “She is very grateful for the swift and professional response from the Seattle Police Department, the U.S. Capitol Police, and the FBI investigators who are working together diligently on the investigation and ensuring that she and her family stay safe.”

    Jayapal declined further comment because a police investigation is ongoing, the statement said.
