Seattle councilmember rips 'brutality of American capitalism' for endangering 'peaceful protesters' (socialist Sawant)
Washington Times ^ | 7/26/20 | Valerie Richardson

Seattle city councilmember Kshama Sawant decried “the brutality of capitalism” after a judge blocked the city’s ban on police crowd-control tools such as tear gas and pepper spray, declaring that the Friday ruling threatened “peaceful protesters.”

“Rather than ensure that peaceful protestors are kept safe from federal agents, this court ruling reveals the brutality of American capitalism readying its full arsenal of weapons to attempt to violently suppress demonstrations,” said Ms. Sawant in a Saturday press release.

**SNIP**

Seattle has been billed as the first U.S. city to prohibit a wide array of crowd-control methods under the ordinance, which passed June 15 and was sponsored by Ms. Sawant.

She said it was needed “after the city’s police - under the watch of Democratic establishment Mayor Jenny Durkan - had viciously used the weapons repeatedly against the Black Lives Matter protests.”

**SNIP**

In her statement, Ms. Sawant called for “continued peaceful resistance.”

“We will need continued peaceful resistance to send the courts a clear message that our movement demands its right to protest without being met by the heavily-armed forces of militarized police prepared and planning to inflict harm,” she said.

She's the one who lead rioters to the mayor's confidential address.

If Kshama has a government funded, armed security team, that should be pulled immediately.

She is apparently a part of Antifa’s “political wing”:

She needs to be indicted for RICO—now.

Antifa is a criminal organization, and she has had overt acts supporting them.

So I recently drifted over to a liberal website. That’s never a pleasant experience. But I wondered how they would explain away all this rioting and destruction. Most folks there blame BLM and Antifa.

Ha! Just kidding! The consensus there is that Attorney General Barr is sending agents into the crowd. And it’s these agents who are causing all the trouble.

That Barr is one tricky dude.

Someone find a dark alley and give this “councelmember” an attitude adjustment. Then an education. Then tar & feathers. Then run the asshat out of town.
Then the country.
Enough of these idiots. There are plenty of loser countries ruled by folks exactly as stupid as they are. Let them live there.

How can anyone take someone with the name, “Kshama Sawant” seriously, let alone vote for her? Yeah, that’s prejudice of me, although in all honesty I wouldn’t judge by name alone. I’d listen to her for about 30 seconds to dismiss her from anything serious in American life other than be qualified to clean toilets somewhere.

It’s as though when her mother went to name her she simply smashed the keyboard against whatever was convenient and that’s what resulted.

Wiki: “Sawant became an economics instructor in Seattle after immigrating to the United States from her native India.”

We gotta get more picky on who we let in.

Well, she’s from India. Perhaps her name is common in India?

If she hates America so much, why doesn’t she go back and fix her own country?

That Seattle councilmember is the enemy within the American system, and her protestations are exactly what America’s foreign enemies have said about America since its founding.

America’s problems are now greater than ever before, because our enemies are now within our borders, and many/most of them are homegrown.

They are destroying buildings, the symbols of the capitalism that they hate so much that feeds them and gives them spending money. They should have be neutralized.

Reminder to Sawant: It was your little Marxist bastards that you enabled, and helped set up their autonomous zone that murdered two people, and injured others. It wasn’t capitalism, or the police.

Can we at least ban immigration from any Socialist countries?
