A religious group is protesting outside Seattle City Hall on Tuesday following a weekend of unrest at Cal Anderson Park.

At least four people have been arrested for assault at the First Amendment event outside of City Hall, according to the Seattle Police Department (SPD). KOMO News crews at the protest saw at least one other arrest, in addition to the four SPD reported.

The "Rattle in Seattle" rally was scheduled to take place at Seattle City Hall at 5 p.m. A counter rally was also planned at the same location and began an hour earlier.

Good question. Hope the Christians exercised Godly restraint and the demonic leftists ended up arrested.

So far, the christian/evangelical group is up on a rise, close to the city hall.

The antifa people are being kept on the street, and away from the christian group.

I've only seen on assumed leftist causing problems, who was swarmed and taken away by pd.

Jonathan Choe, who use to be a reporter at komo, before he got fired I think for reporting on antifa, was there earlier and reporting on it to stitchfield, and antifa people were going after him and trying to attack him, he reported.

It is easier to arrest the Christians. Think of pro-lifers praying outside of a PP. Besides, the Christians have clean hair and clothes and they smell ok. Not the antifa, they haven't seen soap in months.

The christian/evangelical group has been having a concert, which is the group seen jumping around and singing.

There's probably about 100-200 people there with them.

There's about 200+ antifa/lgbt people being kept away from them by the police. Most aren't dressed as antifa and don't hve umbrellas or skate boards

Growing up in an Irish home, where I heard my dad wishing to pee on the queen’s grave, I am not one to be passive. I am amazed at the nice church ladies that can pray.

(I went to Planned parenthood and kept telling the black women to go home, cuz PP wanted to kill THEIR babies. I accused the doctor of murding babies, he didn’t like it.)

God does hear the prayers of the nice church ladies.

Normally I’d agree but after reading what the cops posted I have hope.

It appears that the crowd for the christian group has gotten bigger, and while there are still skirmishes where some of the leftist have tried to push through the lines, the police have been keeping them back

it's was mentioned that the christian group has a permit till midnight for this event....

Democrats have allowed Seattle and Portland to turn into 3rd world sh#thole cities run by chaos creating militant, atheist, marxist foot soldiers. They’re down the toilet and dems there are also in cahoots with the CCP.
Democrat “run” cities are hell on earth. Many grocery stores, restaurants, clothing stores, decent bars, bakeries, movie theaters, etc are moved out.

Bruce Harrell faced charges of aggravated assault, carrying a weapon and interference with official acts in 1996, newly surfaced court records from Fox13 found.

Harrell was arrested on September 27, 1996, after reports at the time said he got into a fight over a parking space outside the Ameristar Casino in Omaha, before a handgun was found in his car by security.

The civil rights were violated.

That’s federal.

IF Trump cared the FBI would crush Antifa.

antifa just ran off one of the people who was streaming the event...

They began following him, and he went to the pd for help, but the pd ignored him.

Running off streamers has happened before in prior protest, usually when the antifa people are getting ready to create trouble

Event must be ending, as it looks like people from the christian event are leaving.

There doesn't seem to be much pushback from the leftist, as the police have them blocked off and are keeping them away

“IF Trump cared the FBI would crush Antifa.”

You posted the same thing on another thread. How do you know he doesn’t care? What did you do about it? did you write or call the White House? The FBI? Your Congressmen/ This seems to be never Trump trolling.
