In the video posted to her Twitter account, Daviscourt can be heard asking the assaulter to stop, saying she’s trying to do her job. "Your job sucks, quit it," one masked assault responds, before adding "You better leave."

Daviscourt later posted that she was safe with Seattle Police officers.
Seattle’s May Day march for immigrants and workers’ rights has a reputation for attracting activists, often in black clothing, who are intent on destroying property and disrupting traffic and businesses following the peaceful demonstration, according to KOMO News.
A Starbucks shift supervisor told the outlet that her store on 5th and Pike closes early every year on May Day because of damage done at other stores in years past. Sarah Pappin said, "The company has just been really [cautious] about it. Like, they can't control whether or not there's property damage but they prefer their employees aren't there while it's happening."
Saturday night and Sunday morning, in advance of the expected violence, stores began boarding up their windows.
How we know it's May 1 / #MayDay on Seattle's Capitol Hill: pic.twitter.com/iPKM98008u— Brian M. Westbrook (@BrianWestbrook) May 1, 2022 After assaulting Daviscourt, Antifa militants assaulted a street preacher and began chanting, "Hey right wing you better run you better hide."

In another video, the street preacher is seen desribing to Seattle Police officers about how people dressed in "black bloc" maced him in the face. Black bloc is the style of clothing that Antifa typically wears while protesting and rioting.
There are a lot of individuals in the group wearing pro-communism clothing, like this gentleman in the photo.

Many in the crowd were also wearing clothing promoting communism.
Former mayoral and city council candidate Nikkita Oliver was also spotted in the group. Oliver has been a fixture at similar events and even spoke to the crowd inside Seattle's deadly Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone. (CHAZ)

In her attempt to pacify groups like Oliver's King County Equity Now (KCEN) during the 2020 riots and the CHAZ, former Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan made promises of funding programs and public buildings that would be turned over "to the community."
KCEN advocates for "Pay the Fee," where Seattle businesses, typically in the Central District, are supposed to pay the group a fee for the privilege of doing business there.
Recently, allegations of financial impropriety with the funds have been leveled against the group's leadership.
These people are untouchable by law enforcement. Mostly peaceful, you know.
One Gatling Gun and it would stop.................
Drop two or three in the back of the mob, where the Leaders hang out, and it would remove a big problem...
"Nice little business ya' got there.
Be a shame if something happened to it."
You get what you allow.
Thats because they don’t exist.
As long as the rat power structure claims Antifa is an ‘idea’ not an organization the two should be considered joined at the hip.
How many of the are willing participant feds?
Antifa are a branch of the democrats, and are protected by law enforcement.
Interesting how the left’s street aesthetic has evolved from artsy bohemian to dystopian stormtrooper.
Projection in 3D..................
The FR jury has ruled.
NOT GUILTY
That was the fastest ruling in my memory. 🙂
That Antifa boy is pretty well equipped for a peaceful demonstration.
Ballistic helmet, communication device, beat down gloves…..
Since around 2000, May 1 has been the day rioters are allowed to destroy downtown Seattle. Now destroying Seattle is an every day thing. Was wondering whether May 1 was going to be super burn it down day, or what.
Not guilty of all charges, ever. Super duper hot.
YEAH, Antifa is GOOD and January 6th is BAD. I see the difference. Nothing at all for the dear City Council in Portland to worry about. Come on down, like Nancy Pelosi said, nothing to worry about. NO PANDEMIC.
