Seattle is under seige - 6 block area & Police Station seized by Antifa

The unidentified suspect -- a 27-year-old man from Seattle, according to The Associated Press -- was booked in the Whatcom County Jail. Police said he is the same person who attempted to elude officers in another incident two weeks ago.

this is what you get with the constant Fuck the Police. it isn't that police stop crimes, it's that hell, good chance they could have got him 2 weeks ago. See how quick this police response was this time, when they were nearby, rather than earlier when they were driven away?

i'm still generally a fuck the police type of person, but that is because brutality will always exist. i still recognize that training and staffing are both major issues, and people suck.
 
I watched and it looked almost accidental. Dude was cruising pretty good on the interstate, slowed and swerved to miss that car and thump, thump, thump. I think if it was intentional they wouldn't have stopped.

i just have a very hard time seeing how it could end up accidental. it wasn't some shitbox civic either, can't blame the car for not having big ass brakes that could easily stop in time.

they didn't stop until the multiple police cars caught up to him
 
I have mixed feelings on this.

personally, i will NEVER advise ANYBODY to protest blocking a road without a permit and even then NEVER stand in the middle of the group/middle of the road. This was what i said to many people when Charlottesville VA came up.

If they had walked on to the hwy while it was open, like they have done, absolutely. If somebody drives slowly through them, absolutely have at it.

The CITY DOT runs passive blockades for this as-if it were permitted, but not fully, and it never was. In that sense, the city certainly must share some piece in the responsibility puzzle. 100% lands on the driver for the assault, he was going quick, seemed to accelerate around the sideways car, seemed to aim FOR people rather than avoid.

the city, however, has half handed shown support for this stuff. they would have been better off not supporting it. this needs to be an example added to the list of failures of Seattle in their handling of this. i don't know what is appropriate, but the city leadership has failed the city people incredibly over the last month. incredibly.

now, i'm certain that the message will get bungled, but this is where the trump early comment of "you've got to support law and be stern" and "i support protesters within the law" or whatever those quotes were, are being borne out very correct and very less damaging to actual human life.

can that message get across? I sure as hell hope so. WA would be significantly better off by turning away from this progressive agenda of the last 10-15 years where it has really ramped up. I'm concerned they are going to try to vote to go harder communist though rather than harder liberty.

As i have said multiple times on here and got jumped on by the big gov dick sucker's, people need to stop paying the cities and states their tax money. That would change some shit, vote with your wallets. They are not doing one of the base duties that allegedly legitimizes them being there.

so, you don't pay state tax?

If you do that here they just take it out of your account for you, or take it off your pay. Hard to protest that way unless you're unemployed.

Okay, but if the "protesters" have made it clear that they're actually terrorists and rioters who wish to dismantle both the constitution and the republic, does that not mean that he is actually in justifiable homicide territory for for his efforts to neutralize a domestic threat?

The police, the city, the mayor, etc, are all in the wrong also. This should have been crushed the instant it was apparent it's actually an attempt by authoritarian communists to overthrow the government via force and enslave the average citizen. They should be on trial for treason, or at least the entire upper level of command and council.

if he wanted justifiable homicide to work within the system, he would have had to go there, drive up, stop. wait. hit his lights or honk his horn to attempt to warn them. somehow (not difficult) convince them to surround and 'intimidate' his vehicle, escalate to punching it or flashing a knife/gun/baton, and THEN accelerate through them.

the 'system' police/city/mayor/gov are all in the wrong, but they are the system and if he wants a system defense, he is going to have to not do what he did. despite the protestors best efforts, this country is still founded on individualism. while it is abhorrent how we are currently excusing violence through collectivism in many areas, that doesn't mean this act won't fall right into the narrative of, to quote the noob "the left saves their terrorists, the right executes theirs"

these individual protesters have not made it clear that they are terrorists. hell, they haven't even actually block I5 for the last several weeks, that has been 100% SDOT (without a permit, by the by) they weren't even impeding traffic when this guy ran them over, if you can fuckin' believe that!
 
In the interest of public safety protests on HIGHWAYS should be banned. There is absolutely no reason for these people to play in traffic to get their point across. It has proven to be an accident waiting to happen.

absolutely! and this is why the permit process exists, and this is why the city should NEVER have tolerated this.

also just "heard" the driver is black as well, that is going to shit their white supremacy theory, yet again.

Exactly this!

Nobody with any fucking common sense says "Hey, let's go play on the highway. That will show em". And if you get hit while doing so it should be nobodys fault but their own. Fuck all this playing victim bullshit. Don't play on the highway, don't get fucking hit is a pretty easy concept for my mind to grasp.... YRMV

Glad to hear he's not white:smokin:
 
Sorry, but that statement is so priceless I had to repeat it.


Getting a permit to protest the government...... :lmao::lmao:


:shaking:

yeah, yeah i get it :flipoff2:

i'm just sayin', if you want the ACTUAL support of the system so that you DON'T get ran the fuck over...get a permit

or don't protest by abridging the rights of others, yaknow, whatev's.

how many other countries will actually spend their (your) tax dollars in support of you telling them that they are fuckin' shit heads? :usa: :usa:
 
Well apparently if the CHAZ/CHOP/retreads had applied for one they wouldn't have been evicted from Capital Hill.

they were actively bitching, will likely sue and WIN against the city for their eviction because they didn't receive the legally mandated 72 hour notice prior to clean up. it was closer to 42 hours or so

also yes, if they had a permit occupy capital hill would have been like occupy wall street was. police provided security and allowed to endure alongside the public right of way until they just gave up

Permitting should not include Highways as a potential place to protest. There should be no provision for traffic cops or other govt facilitation to play in traffic. If you get hit there and are not part of an accident scene or breakdown you should be considered a suicide statistic.

of course, and the fucked up stance of the seattle mayor in her defense was, "Gov Inslee refused to authorize permits for protests citing the 'rona, therefore permits are joyful things that will take place wherever they happen to be"

yup, shit you not. mayor deflected to the gov. who is still basically pretending it doesn't exist. after the first few days of stopping I5 when it was full of traffic, SDOT started monitoring the marchers and redirecting traffic in advance. fucking mayor and city council hamstrung the police and the police chief refuses to go against them forcefully.

it is sad everywhere

"I've no respect for the stars & stripes, or any other flag symbolizing slavery. Triumphant socialism will haul down that flag & every other that symbolizes capitalist class rule & wage slavery. I'm a patriot, but in the sense that I love all countries."

yes, this is the retardation that represents the Capital Hill and Central District in Seattle. This is the person who "stands with CHOP" and who the mayor has called for to be removed from the city council

IMO a major factor in why police give MAGA crowd more leeway is that most MAGA identify with law and order. When told to disperse, the usually do so immediately. OTOH this is a key reason why the MAGA crowd's "protests" are completely ineffective and deserve ridiculehttps://twitter.com/Joshua_Liu_SEA/status/1279531740562722816

1 of the 2 gals hit by the dude in the jag passed away today.

state issued statement: "don't play in traffic kids"

hilarity will continue to ensue. i'm sad over the destruction of life and lack of respect from everybody in Seattle, but this is certainly the gift that keeps on giving and is doing more to highlight and tear apart the collectivists/marxist/equality in outcome folks from the majority than anything in recent history has been able to do.

so what was the story of the guy driving? Accident, intentional, did he blow past roadblocks, enter highway via offramp?

haven't seen anything

They think he entered the highway on an exit ramp and then flipped a bitch to get in the south bound lanes. They are not thinking foul play, he just had somewhere to be.

there is no scenario where accidental makes sense, unless he 'accidentally' had been broken down on the HWY before it was closed, hid his car, then accidentally drove through the people there. This was intentional.

I don't think it is likely that he simply went around a manned road detour, which is the most common way SDOT has been blocking onramps and travel lanes during all this. with quick barriers and physically with trucks and crew, so that it can be set up rapidly and reopened rapidly. there is no chatter to support the idea that he went past a manned barrier, anyways.

so that leaves the enter via offramp as the most likely and most plausible option.

there is also NO WAY that his vehicle was incapable of coming to a full stop even from 70 or 80 mph as he came around that corner and say the sideways vehicles immediately in front of the protest group. that corner is too wide, too visible and the jag has big brakes.

this is an impossible event to explain wholly rationally, no attempt at rationalization should be made for why this guy did what he did :flipoff2:
