Trump tweeted about Seattle on Wednesday and Thursday after several prominent conservatives expressed shock over the protesters’ activities. He said that “Domestic Terrorists” had taken over the city.
“Radical Left Governor @JayInslee and the Mayor of Seattle are being taunted and played at a level that our great Country has never seen before,” Trump tweeted. “Take back your city NOW. If you don’t do it, I will. This is not a game. These ugly Anarchists must be stooped IMMEDIATELY. MOVE FAST!”
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan on Thursday pushed back against President Trump’s threat to “take back” the city after protesters camped out around a police station near downtown, vowing to resist any effort by Trump to use force to disband the demonstration.
“We do not need anyone, including the president, to try to sow further divide, further distrust, and misinformation,” Durkan (D) said in a news conference. “The threat to invade Seattle, to divide and incite violence in our city is not only unwelcome, it would be illegal.”
But one Facebook event alleges that Bikers For Trump are ready to defy the major’s orders and will retake the Autonomous Zone.
The event states:
On July 4th, Independence Day,a coalition of patriot groups and all who want to join are going to retake the Capital Hill Autonomous Zone for America. Antifa members are illegally occupying public property and terrorizing small businesses in the neighborhood. American patriots have agreed to come together again, remove the barricades illegally obstructing traffic, and free the people in the zone. We are not going to hurt anybody, break the law, etc. We are simply going to tear down the illegal barriers on public property, clean up the mess these communist kids made, and return the police station over to Seattle Police Department control
*The staging area will be Seward Park. The parking lot can handle roughly 10,000 bikes easily.
Link to the event.
What do you think about this idea?

Absolutely right. Rolling in with force isn’t the answer and doesn’t allow for this to become a teachable moment in the failure of the ideas of these groups. They’ll fail on their own. They’ve already run out of food before because all the homeless people they invited in took it. Let them continue to fail so the entire country can see what bowing to these fools would mean for the country and for their own families.
I do feel bad for the property and business owners in the area who don’t support this, but I think the greater good is served by letting them publicly disintegrate into the chaos we all know is coming. And when they finally beg, publicly, for the police to come back, we can move forward.
Fun - until some vigilante gets his head bashed-in, leaves behind a wife and kids, etc, etc.
Nobody, anywhere, would give HIM a week-long funeral extravaganza, or millions in GFM.
If the city refuses to act, they have abrogated their authority. The Feds, and Trump, are very High, and very Far Away.
"Vigilantes" have as much of a right as Antifa goofs in CHAZ.
Anarchy is no rules.
Thus, you don't get to ask how the bodies got that way.
I’m in a ‘Bikers for Trump’ fb group and I have not seen a post about that.
Can anyone confirm this?
“to disband the demonstration”
It’s not a demonstration. It’s an occupation by violence.
If the bikers do it or not it’s a great idea. It puts additional pressure on the communist to begin to act even weirder if that’s possible. Just a threat of the bikers coming may push The FBI into some action after Christopher Wray has his hair done. The governor and mayor can hyperventilate on TV. Who knows the mayor may even ask the police to defend the communist.
Took my kids to the 1st Bush inauguration.
Get off the DC metro and all these punked out bikers are standing around, I thought OH S***.
They turned around and the back of their jackets said “Bikers For Bush”!
Started to talk to them. They looked weird but believed in normal.
Great idea.!
I will be praying for them.
btw the CHAZ people are actually colonizers. They took the area from the native CHAZ residents
My husband is wondering why ‘they’ don’t just turn off the power and water to the area.
1. Disarm and debadge police.
2. Arm and deputize bikers.
3. Let nature take it’s course.
Build a wall around them, then shut off the water.
July 4th is too far away. Wish they would do it next week.
If people don’t think it’s a good idea politically for “Bikers for Trump” to do it, maybe the Hell’s Angels will step up and do it.
Biker guys might be the only ones left in the country with courage to stand up to this communist “revolution.”
I’ve attended Rolling Thunder (nearly 800,000 Bikers) nine years in a row! So I know whereof you speak. :-)
Vigilantes are already causing trouble, only as anarchists.
If the duly elected government will not take care of the problem, the citizens need to.
The government is supposed to be our representatives not our overlords.
With your thinking, the American Revolution would never have happened.
I agree, metmom. Let them feel the rumble and hear the roar coming to reclaim something that was stolen. I have no pity on these animals homesteading in Seattle.
I see it as, they’ve been warned. And given time to walk away. It’s up to them HOW they go. But go they will
Very interesting.
Talk about asymmetrical warfare.
Maybe cause the scum are in the street and normal poor suckers are stuck in there homes and businesses need those utilities
Hardcore bikers vs snowflakes. Anyone want to place a bet? Lol.
What's more divisive than letting a group of insurrectionists segregate a section of a large city, and claim it as their own, letting them build barriers, allowing armed insurgents to patrol those borders, and refusing entry to individuals they deem illegal, as well as extorting the business owners who have their livelihood there? She's allowed a group of insurgents to run havoc on the city, and every other person who lives there. And she's allowed one group of people to make their own rules, and not have to live by the laws that every other person in Seattle has to live by. That's more than divisive, that's discriminatory.
