Seattle Mayor Again Blames Trump After Rioters Blew Open a Police Station Using a Van Full of Explosives

Days after antifa rioters terrorized Seattle, driving a van full of weapons and explosives with the mob in order to set fires and attempt to blow up police departments, Mayor Jenny Durkan focused her attention squarely on President Donald Trump, accusing him of running a “dress rehearsal for martial law.” She claimed that Trump’s efforts to bolster local law enforcement to combat a rising tide of crime and violence have “decreased public safety.” In a press conference addressing the antifa riots, Durkan claimed “the president wants” the violence.

The riots on Saturday followed a protest in support of the antifa rioters in Portland, who have attempted to burn down the federal courthouse and Justice Center in nearly two straight months of violent riots. Seattle rioters used a van packed with fireworks, smoke bombs, stun guns, bear and pepper spray, gas masks, and more. At one point, rioters set off an explosive that blew an 8-inch hole through a wall of the Police Department’s East Precinct, the Seattle Times reported. Rioters injured 59 police officers.

Durkan focused her ire on Trump.

“I hate to say it, but it looks like this president is doing a dress rehearsal for martial law, sending in federal forces to take over police duties in city after city for political purposes,” the mayor told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Monday. “It is frightening and it’s making things worse. It has not improved public safety, it has decreased public safety.”

One can only conclude that this mayor is advocating the destruction of public property.

Sounds to me like the script was written before the outbreak, ready to use. Who is playing who is the big question concerning all the riots.

I want the violence.

I want every one of the commie revolutionaries and arsonists shot in the head until dead.

Here’s hoping POTUS wants it too.

And I want to see the Seattle Mayor and the Washington Governor hang by the neck until dead. On the steps of the state capitol in Olympia.

Insurrection against the United States. Deprivation of rights under the color of law.

Treason.

The headline for the article is misleading. There was one explosive used that blew open a hole in the police station. It may or may not have come from the van found with weapons in it. The van was full of riot related items, but not filled with explosives. The headline would, at a glance, make people think it was an Oklahoma City type explosion.

Durkan is working 24/7 to turn Seattle into the West coast version of Detroit.

It might take three passes.

Blowing up a police station is the best way I know of to get a huge response from the ATF and the FBI.

This woman and her city council will be removed by the voters of Seattle. Yes they are liberal, but even the voters are not crazy enough to believe she is good for their city.

This stupid biotch needs to be chained to the front door of that building so she can get a personal perspective of the war she has allowed to mature and grow.

Every city in the USA that is having problems right now is run by democrats and has been for decades. Where they are not having trouble the republicans are in charge and have ordered their law enforcement to not back down to the rioters, looters, and criminals.
