A large group of Black Lives Matter members was let into a federal building by city council member Kshama Sawant.
She then led them through the building as they took over the seat of the city government. It was an inside job.
Once inside, the protesters chanted “Durkan Must Go”, referring to Seattle mayor Jenny Durkan.
BLM was angry because Durkan allowed the police to do their job and disperse the crowds in order to keep the looting to a minimum.
Breitbart reported,
“The people hunkered down in Seattle have dubbed it Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone with a tag line to ‘free Capitol Hill,’ according to Twitter posts and a Capitol Hill Seattle Blog website, which detailed the development.”
I wish my city had a Democratic mayor. There is a beautiful 65″ television in the store down the street and I can’t afford to but it but I’m pretty sure I could carry it for five blocks…
As Breitbart’s Penny Starr reported on Tuesday: “Protesters who are part of a wave of unrest across the country in the wake of the death of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis police on Monday took over city blocks in Seattle, set up barricades, and some have implied on social media that they will use armed guards to secure their occupation.”
Durkan was specifically targeted in a lawsuit filed earlier on Tuesday, by those seeking to punish city officials for what they believe have been aggressive police tactics. Last week, several leftist leaders in Seattle called for Durkan’s resignation after she declined to guarantee that the police would not use tear gas.
