Washington mayor calls BLM ‘domestic terrorism’ after vandals target her home
NY Post ^ | 6/18/20

Posted on 06/20/2020 7:55:13 AM PDT by Impala64ssa

A Democratic mayor in Washington state spoke out this week against the protests supporting the Black Lives Matter movement — after a group of vandals damaged her home. Mayor Cheryl Selby of Olympia, the state’s capital, told The Olympian this week that she was “really trying to process” the news that her home had been vandalized. “It’s like domestic terrorism. It’s unfair. It hurts when you’re giving so much to your community,” Selby told the outlet. The mayor of the largely Democratic city argued that she was facing three crises at once, “COVID-19, homelessness, and 400 years of racial injustice.” According to the paper, a group of protesters went to Selby’s home over the weekend. The group chanted “Abolish the police” and one individual spray-painted her front porch and door with the letters “BLM,” to signify “Black Lives Matter.” At some point, a man “with a flat, metal paddle-like object” told the group to leave, and threatened them if they did not listen. Selby told the paper she and her family were not home at the time of the protests, but neighbors began texting her as the group arrived at her home. The Democratic mayor still has three years left in her term, and isn’t letting this “domestic terrorism” stop her from continuing in her job. “I’m no quitter. I will continue to try and move this community forward.”

Hey, mayor!

It's all shyts and giggles until the "oppressed" busts up your own stuff. Perhaps her despair over her home being trashed comes from a place of privilege?

Way to whine and pat yourself on the back at the same time, mayor. She'd have had zero sympathy for some black family or store owner whose home or shop had been ravaged by the rioters - she'd have been cheering on the rioters. Screw her. Sometimes karma doesn't wait.

In the French Progressive Revolution of 1789, the progressives executed the king.

All that virtue signaling! It is for nought! It takes a heart of stone to not laugh.

Too bad they didn’t torch her house.

I’m glad it happened to her. But she will not be changing her tune any time soon.

“largely democratic city” ?? Has the author ever been to Olympia? It’s completely democrat, and rude to boot.

I’ve been calling those terrorists what they are for years. Unlike democrats, normal Americans don’t have to be the target before they admit the truth. Antifa and BlackLiesMatter are violent and evil.
