A Christian rally and concert hosted by the conservative group MAYDAY USA in Cal Anderson Park on Saturday afternoon descended into chaos after Antifa militants showed up to clash with attendees, resulting in 23 arrests.
The event, branded by organizers as the “#DontMessWithOurKids” rally, began around 2 pm and drew the attention of the radicals for its mission, including defending the “sanctity of human life,” “biological gender,” and “freedom of religion.”
Antifa and left-wing counter-protesters showed up in park, the same location of 2020's deadly Capitol Hill protest (CHOP), accusing MAYDAY USA of promoting “fascist family values” and holding the rally in a historically LGBTQ+ neighborhood to incite a reaction. Protesters, including members of Radical Women Seattle and the Freedom Socialist Party, chanted, sang, and waved signs bearing messages such as “Keep Your Bibles Off Our Bodies.”
According to the Seattle Police Department, tensions escalated around 1:30 p.m., before the rally's official start, when officers observed members of one group throwing items at another group. Officers quickly moved in to make arrests and were reportedly assaulted by other individuals in the crowd. Eleven people were taken into custody in the initial confrontation.
As the event continued, another 12 arrests were made for assault and obstruction, bringing the total to 23. Among those arrested, 22 adults were booked into the King County Jail, while one juvenile arrested for obstruction was later released.

Antifa, demonstrating fascism as usual.
Counter-protesters, of any stripe, should be beaten and arrested.
*Everyone* has the right to peacefully assemble and speak without interference. If they don’t like someone’s message, have their own rally, but left or right, cops should bust heads of people who try to shout down others.
Antifa are satanic, anti-Christian fascists.
“...when officers observed members of one group throwing items at another group.”
Well, thats pretty vague.
“some people did something” ~Ilhan Omar
Ha.
Hard hitting with those specifics.
Notice Ilhan clammed up and then shouted sneering vulgarities to the web reporter recently about trips to visit the gang member.
Then refused to condemn the killing of the two people at the Jewish Museum for hours and then read a sappy staff written statement about violence in general being not nice.
“Ilhan Omar flings expletives at reporter over very benign question on immigration ... She repeated the profanity to make sure he heard it.”

Setting expectations.
As before, in blue areas the violent will be excused and the victims persecuted.
Use best judgment including not leaving a trail of dumb incriminating posts indicating intent. FReepers are defensively-minded of course.
isn’t that slander or something?
