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.

As I recall, in the last election she was a good distance behind on election night after the ballots were counted. Then, a miracle happened a few days later after all of the mail-in ballots were counted. She won. Well, I suspect it was not miraculous but rather fraudulent ballots being thrown into the mix. Sawant is a total lowlife commie POS.

Actually, her surname is pretty common in India — about 450,000 people, putting it in the top 200, according to the Forebears web site.

As a student of onomastics, I should note that Indian/Asian names don’t work quite like ours. I would explain if I could, but it confuses the living heck out of me.

One thing is certain — this councilwoman is a disgrace to Indian-Americans, who overall are a pretty decent bunch, although we probably have as many as we can assimilate.

The key is identifying the leaders...

Probably, the guy with the bull horn.

Someone needs to ‘ethnically cleanse’ the Seattle City Council a bit. Send a message to these commie foreigners that thunk they can weasel their way into our country, slink into politics and then start calling the shots on how we live and allowing rabid radicalism to have it’s way . They have no right! I don’t care what status they have finagled. Cause a few examples to be made and they will stop. No examples = no stopping

Amazingly we have quite a few freepers who oppose keeping foreigners out of the White House in accordance with the Constitution.

The natural born citizen clause was put in there precisely to exclude the children of foreigners who are themselves born foreigners, even if born here.

But there are a lot of fans of Piyush Jindal, Nimrata Randhawa, Micro Rubio, Rafael Cruz and George P. Bush who oppose upholding the Constitution.

She’s a hardcore psychopathic communist. But hey, the idiots of Seattle elected her so let her defend their businesses. /sarc

I think she has never shown up at a riot/arson event. Wonder why? Was hoping an errant Molotov cocktail would “lern” her something like how it feels to be a human marshmallow in flames.

Thanks for the info. I hope Seattle's third district gets a belly-full of the mess she helped create and chokes on it.

In my opinion ; the Constitution should hold that No Person , foreign-born, should ever hold elected office , at any level , in the United States of America . Regardless of any citizenship status attained as a legal immigrant. Elective office eligibility should only begin to occur in the U.S. born children of legal immigrants, and at the mandated legal age.

Those who are foreign-born should NEVER ascend to legislative power over ANY native-born American. NEVER! EVER!

There is no case, anywhere in this world , where an American could go and reside there, and after a short period of time , be elected to legislative office and thereafter hold power over the native-born citizens of that country. NOT ONE. Nor should we be so imprudent to offer any such thing .Just look what they do! And we allow this? Remove them
