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.”

It’s part of that terrorist training they have received.

What measures has Durkan taken to prevent the violence, looting, and property damage? What is she doing to protect the lawful citizens of her city?

If she is doing nothing to quell the violence, maybe she is the one who wants the violence.

This like the Hurricane Katrina gambit used against George W. Bush, multiplied by 100. Take something unfortunate that no one person could’ve prevented, use that to fan the flames of resentment against the President, lather, rinse, repeat.

Cannot wait for election night. Their anger is going to be so funny...again. Look at their sneering faces at the Barr hearing...do they look like they’re on the winning side?

Yes they are liberal, but even the voters are not crazy enough to believe she is good for their city.

I don't believe that for a second. There is zero evidence that the voters of Seattle are not crazy enough to believe that she is good for their city, and much evidence that they are absolutely that crazy.

Well, down by a river full of explosives, of course.

Motivational speaker told me this.

I have a good friend who fled Seattle last year (because of the homeless issues), and many more “normals” will be fleeing Seattle this year.

So, the remaining folks in Seattle will be either crazy or very slow learners.

I’m afraid so; they think they’re on the winning side and utterly unaccountable.

In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade into the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire The A-Team.
