SEATTLE — Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best said a “large group of aggressive protestors” targeted her house late Saturday night in Snohomish County.

Protesters that were there that night said they are disappointed in Chief Best’s letter. They said they disagree that they were aggressive, and instead, said the aggressors were the neighbors Best praised.

“All we were doing was walking and they met us with guns, I don’t know who the aggressor is at that point, but I don't think it's us,” said Nicole Gitaka, a demonstrator with “Every Day March.”

Gitaka and her fellow protesters said less than 100 people went to the Shonomish County neighborhood and that they did not go there to destroy or cause trouble -- they wanted to ask the chief some questions regarding the Black Lives Matter movement in Seattle and the police departments use of crowd control measures.

I don’t see what the problem is. “Protest” at my house and you will be met with guns also. That seems normal to me.

Me too, but It will be difficult to shoot all 100 of these thugs.

Eve when one has a proper business relationship with another person, the polite way to deal with that individual is to contact him/her during business hours at his/her business location during business hours, not at his/her home.

Wow the holy estrogen leftists who rule Seattle have turned it into anything but a peaceful nirvana of equality. So much for leftist women in control making for a better society. Enjoy the Ratist bitchfests of rottenness on display.

Well, there’s this:

But seriously, after twenty or so drop, I would thInk the others might reevaluate their position.

The protestors need to understand that Snohomish County is not King County and definitely not Seattle. I lived in Snohomish County for close to 40 years. It was a great place to raise children. For me there were lots of gun stores, gun ranges and hunting opportunities.

Not the kind of place to go marching around at night.

They should have set up an appointment in the Seattle Police Chief's office if they had questions.

“.....Gitaka and her fellow protesters said less than 100 people went to the Shonomish County neighborhood and that they did not go there to destroy or cause trouble — they wanted to ask the chief some questions regarding the Black Lives Matter movement in Seattle and the police departments use of crowd control measures.......”

This happened in Snohomish County, not Seattle. Snohomish County Sheriff has stated he will not be enforcing any mask mandate.

“....No, I was referring to the Seattle defenders. .....”

Sorry to inform you, but they were Snohomish County defenders. Seattle is located in the middle (N-S) of King County. King County is almost as crazy liberal as Snohomish County. Snohomish County has a much different culture and is much more firearm friendly.

I would expect a majority of homes in Snohomish County to have firearms and chainsaws along with many more pick-up trucks than you would find in Seattle.

Gosh, those people are so innocent, humble and reasonable.

They were only walking by, for Heaven’s sake.

Where can I send a donation to encourage these nuts to continue their “walking.”

There was a quote from one of the homeowners.

“We come here peacefully, and you meet us with guns.”

The homeowner replied,

“You’re here peacefully because of the guns.”

So true. The basic laws of nature will become more and more evident and widespread in the coming months.

On the good side, I can still get ammo and bullets...and guns if I want to overspend on Gunbroker.com. My wife isn’t minding my buying sprees much anymore. She wants a new 9mm. I want a new 10mm. Fun times all around in this regard.
