Seattle Mayor: Trump Doing ‘Dry Run for Martial Law’ and Is ‘Responsible’ for Riots in City – Best Way to Have Peace Is ‘Bring More Justice’
Breitbart ^ | July 27 2020 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 07/28/2020 3:48:53 AM PDT by knighthawk

On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan (D) stated that President Trump’s actions “were responsible for what happened this weekend” in Seattle and “we are seeing the dry run for martial law.” Durkan also stated that the best way to bring peace to the city “is to bring more justice to the systems.”

Durkan said, “We don’t need the help that the president’s offering, and, in fact, I think the president’s actions have directly escalated and were responsible for what happened this weekend. Many people who were interviewed by media said they came to the protest because of what’s happening in Portland. The protest itself was billed as something in solidarity with Portland. And so, we are — today, I requested the Department of Homeland Security — since there was no actions directed against the federal properties here — to ask them to remove the standby team that they have.”

At the outbreak of the violence (which was part of a widely orchestrated scheme), the Federal officers were NOT in Portland. Their arrival was prompted by the violence which after a month and a half had not been stemmed in the least.

Mogadishu on the Willamette. Where is the Muslim Congressperson that should be representing them? Minneapolis has one, Detroit has one, shouldn’t all these Democrat-majority cities also have one?

To translate the mayor:

“Give us free stuff and we will stop.”

It’s very similar to the Biden campaign slogan:

“Vote for Biden and it all stops.”

Basically, it’s extortion.

I remember when I was small my mom doing the mom thing and asking me, "So it everyone was jumping off a cliff would you, too?"

In this case I would applaud if Durka-Durka would jump.

I knew the riots were started by neo-marxists in close cooperation with the democrat party for the purpose of getting Trump out of office. Here’s the proof.

Do not think for one minute that the riots are a spontaneous protest over the death of George Floyd. Not at all. That was the excuse they were waiting for. They would have waited for another event to use as the excuse.

The riots are going to spread so that America will be in flames before the election.

There is a recall effort under way - but it is sponsored by members of the city council who are even crazier than she is!

Seattle is doomed.

As soon as I saw favorable polls for blacks supporting Trump I said the next police brutality case will be used to start riots very soon. Sooooo predictable!

She is stupid enough to believe the Communist Lie, but the nation should not allow here to destroy the rest of it.

Durkan also stated that the best way to bring peace to the city “is to have more rioting.”

That’s all I heard.

We all now have to take responsibility to show the people around us what they are not being shown on the evening “news”. Otherwise, they will get away with this with enough people to slam the door on freedom for good and all.

Her words and actions have demonstrated that Seattle Demonicrat Mayor Durkan is a traitor to the United States of America.

Recent from night in Portland Federal building:

Mike Balsamo @MikeBalsamo1
The lights inside the courthouse have to be turned off for safety & the light from high-powered lasers bounced across the lobby almost all night. The fear is palpable.

Three officers were struck in the last few weeks & still haven’t regained their vision.

Mike Balsamo @MikeBalsamo1
I spent the weekend inside the Portland federal courthouse w/ the US Marshals. Mortars were being fired off repeatedly, fireworks & flares shot into the lobby, frozen

bottles, concrete, cans & bouncy balls regularly whizzed over the fence at high speeds.

The first order of justice is law and order. The second is to see to the justice of the law. Breaking down law and order does not affirm justice. It terminates it. There can be no justice in violence.

DO NOT BLAME THE MAYORS OF SEATTLE AND PORTLAND FOR THE ANARCHY THAT IS PERVADING THEIR CITIES. IT IS FOLLY TO DO SO. THE ELECTED OFFICIALS OF ANY CITY, COUNTY, STATE OR NATION ARE A MIRROR IMAGE OF THE PEOPLE THAT ELECTED THEM. THE CITIZENS OF SEATTLE AND PORTLAND ARE REAPING WHAT THEY HAVE SOWN. OTHERWISE THE CITIZENS WOULD BE GOING ABOUT THE BUSINESS OF RIDDING THEMSELVES OF THE IDIOTS LIKE HER AND WHEELER, AND THEY AREN’T/HAVEN’T DONE SO.
