Dozens were arrested after violence broke out between woke protesters and police at a religious rally in Seattle.
Christian activists from On Fire Ministries hosted their 'Mayday USA' rally at Cal Anderson Park on Saturday.
The event was described as 'standing together for Biblical truth and values' as part of the '#DontMessWithOurKids' movement, according to the organization's Facebook.
Counter protesters showed up under the theme of 'Keep Your Bibles Off Our Bodies,' according to Fox 13.
They brought signs that read 'Republican Lies Kill Trans People' and 'Protect Trans Youth.'
Seattle Police Department (SPD) officers arrested 23 people throughout the day as clashes between the groups grew violent.
'Police working to keep two different groups apart, witnessed multiple people inside one group throw items at the opposing group around 1:30 p.m. Saturday,' SPD said.
'Officers immediately moved to arrest the people responsible, and while taking the individuals into custody, were assaulted by more protesters, resulting in even more arrests. In total, officers arrested 11 during the initial scuffle.'

Hate crimes against Christians... but it’s Seattle so it’s ok.
They would not dare do it to Muslims.
This is why the left is so pro trans. They can exploit mentally unstable people that can be driven to violence.
I’m sure those arrested are those nasty trouble making Christian, and not the peaceful loving anti American, cuddly antifa misunderstood children.
I wouldn’t call the Christian group protesters.
Well yeah. It’s says so right in the article. The mayor said the Christians had it coming
Astute, you are... :)
It’s a side point, but I find it interesting that the Daily Mail insults the trans activists by calling them “woke”. (Leftists find that term insulting.)
Has the Daily Mail finally realized just how crazy those trans people are?
🤔
Where are the hoses and rubber bullets?
'Today’s far-right rally was held here for this very reason – to provoke a reaction by promoting beliefs that are inherently opposed to our city’s values, in the heart of Seattle’s most prominent LGBTQ+ neighborhood,' Harrell said
And we must learn about this from the Daily Mail UK.
What does THAT tell us..?
They used to carry signs saying things like "Get Woke" in the heyday of BLM.
I watched the video. It seems the officers were after the leftists making trouble. This church had their ducks in a row and had the right to be there this time.
Zackly. They wouldn’t dare go to a call to prayer with their bullhorns and “Keep your Koran off my body” signs.
So the city denied their original location request permit, the approved a permit for this park, the condemned the Christians for promoting hate in an lbgqtxyz community. Just from the pictures it looks like tattooed hooded figures are harassing the police. I wonder if it’s okay to have hooded figures counter protest in other neighborhoods. Seattle, wake up, Christians are probably the largest minority in your city. And I’m sure they weren’t harassing the police. Hooded thuggish goons, the Seattle way.
Communists are extremely tolerant of everyone they agree with.
RE: ‘Police working to keep two different groups apart,
That was the nonsense in earlier Antifa assaults against MAGA supporters years ago. Cops were leaning against a brick building, watching, as a white haired man was grabbed and beaten, ending up on the ground. And unarmed MAGA people were maced and hit with clubs by the Antifa goons who wore arm protection shields and body armor. Show of gestapo force long before the phony ones Tim Walz talked about in his graduation ceremony address. The real leftist ones.
Cops should not worry about keeping groups apart. Worry about defending Christians who are being intimidated and physically attacked.

Yes.
The Left has a history of redefining words to suit their agenda. “Gay” is a good example of that. There are many more such examples.
But we won a victory with the word “woke”. That word once had a positive meaning. Not so much now. These days it’s generally accepted as an insult.
Bud Light went woke. Now they’re broke.
🤣
