Mostly Black rioters looted an upscale mall in suburb Bellevue, WA.

The BLM ferals burn, loot and murder....and the idiot progressive socialists apologize and pay them millions of taxpayer dollars for even slightly hindering them in so doing.
Seems the city has incentivised and encouraged the ruination of Seattle over and over.
“were engaged in First Amendment speech and activity”
So, I can do whatever the hell I want if it involves “1A ‘speech’”.
How about my opinion on endless Star Wars movies? Can I block traffic for that?

We truly live in Absurdistan.
They got away with it once. This will only encourage them to do it again.
Enjoy the suck.
It rains a lot in Seattle but now it’s raining stupidity.

They are now paying thier army to gin them up for trump 2
