This has been going on for hours. Huge police presence required to prevent protesters from shutting down Interstate 5. Yes, there were fires, property damage, and arrests. This Seattle City Councilwoman incited this protest/riot. She should be held personally responsible - arrested, charged, and convicted. Make no mistake. This is not a peaceful protest or a constitutional right to peaceably assemble. It's a riot and elected officials should be severely punished for inciting this lawlessness.

Business owners with damage should file a lawsuit against her immediately. Inciting a riot is a crime and civil liabilities are easy to prove in the event of a criminal act.

3 guesses and the first 2 don’t count?

Seattle is becoming a city where the cops apologize for simply standing on the sidewalk doing nothing. Lots of safe spaces needed in this city full of special snowflakes.

She should be responsible for all costs, city expenses and private. She should be sued into oblivion.

I understand there have been some people shot during these riots. She should face criminal charges up to, and including capital murder, should any of these people die as a result...

I suppose they think trashing an ultra leftist city is going to really prove something?

Seattle of all places deserves to tear itself up.

I was there during the WTO. It was hilarious as they were so upset about losing their image as “the Emerald City.”

This should complete the transition.

Of course the irony is Seattle is as liberal a rich town as you will find. And IT pays the price for a Trump election.

The tears just keep tastin’ better!

Why do the people of Seattle elect this POS Communist? Ksharma Sawant is off the scale. To elect moronic mayor Ed Murray was bad enough. Are they insane?

Protesting WHAT?

Didn’t the DUmmines on the Left whine that Trump should just lie back and take it if he didn’t win?

This councilwoman is urging civil unrest (riots) because she hates this nation and the President who hasn’t done a SINGLE thing yet. Treason much?

I'm assuming she stole the election, since she doesn't believe in democracy.

I'm suggesting "Democracy sucks!" as the name for this movement.

Liberal judges?

On November 19, 2014, Sawant was arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct at a $15 minimum wage protest in SeaTac, Washington.[59] She was released on $500 bail. On May 1, 2015, a SeaTac municipal court judge dismissed charges against Sawant. The judge determined that testimony provided by police demonstrated that it was technically the police themselves, not protesters, who had blocked traffic.[60]

Check out her bio on Wikipedia. She really is a POS radical trying to make her legacy as a revolutionary.

actually i find it funny. Burning their own socialist paradise? This is akin to them peeing on their own home and asking me to care. This is useless and stupid all rolled into one. This is Seattles problem and nobody elses.

The battle to save America has just started. Trump’s election is only a small beginning. The rioting by Marxist scum all over the country needs to be suppressed. People have a right to peacefully assemble and protest. THEY have no right to threaten the lives, livelihood and property of others.

Trump will be facing opposition of unrelieved magnitude from his own party and tge Democrats. Let not your mind be deceived by honeyed words from the opposition. They are out to destroy him.

What are the protesting anyway? Democracy?

The system worked.

If we had an honest media, they would be asking this simple question.
