Antifa in Seattle and Portland Smash Property, Oppose Biden, Police: ‘We Are Ungovernable’

Seattle Courthouse-PoliceFar-left activists vandalized buildings and clashed with police in the Pacific Northwest on Jan. 20, voicing their opposition to the government, law enforcement, and the freshly sworn-in President Joe Biden, with some carrying signs reading, “We are ungovernable.”

In Portland, black-clad activists with their faces covered broke windows and the glass door at the Democratic Party of Oregon business office, spray-painting an anarchist symbol over the party sign, video posted on social media showed. Some of them tipped over garbage containers and lit the contents on fire, according to reports.

“We don’t want Biden. We want revenge for police murders, imperialist wars, and fascist massacres,” read a banner they marched under, while others carried a banner saying, “We are not governable,” which was dotted with anarchy symbols.

Portland Police confronted a crowd that gathered outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement building near downtown, with some in the crowd later burning a flag in the street.

According to KATU, the protest was billed as a demonstration against the Biden inauguration and law enforcement. At one point, demonstrators were approached by Portland Police officers on bicycles, with some people in the group taking an officer’s bike and throwing objects at retreating police.

Eight people were arrested in Portland on charges that include rioting and reckless burning.

In SeattleAntifa activists marched into the iconic Pike Place Market to smash up property, with video from the scene showing broken windows in a Starbucks. A group of black-clad activists marched along the street, kicking over garbage containers, carrying a tattered American flag with the anarchy sign spray-painted on it.

Some spray-painted buildings with an anarchist symbol and smashed windows, including at the William Kenzo Nakamura Courthouse, a federal building, according to KOMO.

“No Cops, Prisons, Borders, Presidents,” said one banner that they marched under, according to The New York Times.

Police announced that two people were arrested during the unrest, one for property damage and another for assault.

 

Officers made a third arrest later in the evening after the glass storefront was shattered at the Starbucks in Pike Place Market, according to KOMO.

Seattle and Portland have been the scene of unrest for months, with a mix of protesters—including anarchists, Antifa, and other far-left groups, as well as civil rights activists—voicing various grievances and sometimes engaging in violence, damaging property, and clashing with police.

“We Are Ungovernable!”? Really? These pasty-faced, snot-nosed video gamers coming out of their basements to cause death & destruction ARE governable after all- it just involves adding some lead to their diet. Terrorists deserve nothing more.

Joe will not do anything about these defiant criminals. He does not have the backbone to prove he is the president. He has to wait until he is told what to say, what to do, what to sign and where to go and what to think. His mind is so weak and shot that he is virtually useless.

I agree. He won’t do anything about antifa but he will sign an order to wear mask on Federal property.

Watching nightly news this week & had telephone videos of these thugs walking down street in Portand and Seattle & breaking out windows with pipe or similar club. Dressed in black w/masks and assumed they are the ones shooting video & sending to TV news stations. Some arrested are in early 20’s ???How can these people claim to be Americans?

Maybe the new vice-president will arrange for the taxpayers to pay for the bail of those arrested. That will solve the problem….not!!

I believe that Biden’s former boss Barack,the community organizer, Obama is behind all of this hate. He didn’t only want to destroy President Trump his mission is the destruction of America. Now, with a weak, hapless president in place and a communist right behind, him the leftist hatred and terrorism can continue uninterrupted.

The head enemy is Satan. He has a lot of minions. He wants 1 world government, as he thinks he will be able to retain the earth. God has other plans, and they are spelled out throughout the bible, and mostly in the book of Revelation. You may need a good expositor to understand it. Anyway, from predictions that have already come true, the time is coming closer, God calls Satan the lawless one, and it seems he has a lot of followers. These verses describe the behavior of people in the last days. (2nd Timothy chapter 3 verses 1-50) People like these have always been around, but never in the numbers as they are now.

The book of revelation tells of God making war on the forces of evil and wickedness and destroying them. God always prevails in all matters.

2nd Timothy chapter 3 only has 17 verses (not 50). But they are appropriate to today’s
time.

So very true as you refer to the heart of all this trouble we are experiencing today. As stated in God’s word, in the last days Satan knows his days are numbered and very near end so he will and is causing as much trouble as possible and recruiting many souls in the process.

Can you explain to me the meaning of Rev.13:7-10 and Rev.14:12-13? (Which speak of the beast? Making war with the saints, and the patience of the saints) thanks ????

God likes to know who is on His side. He allows testing. When Lucifer rebelled, 1/3 of the angels failed the test. Will the saints alive during this future time choose God or temporal life? That will be their test. God does not need us to fight a battle, one or two angels could wipe out all his human enemies. I feel God will watch out for his own. I also feel he is letting everyone see how bad satan and his human puppets are. We need to step up our prayer and evangelism.

Repentance is required before revival can happen. Our Country has been extremely sinful with very few standing up. Repentance, then revival will happen.

Antifa & BLM should be labeled as domestic terrorists and treated as such! That will send their snowflake followers back to their Personal Biden Bunker (Mom’s basement) and allow the really bad ones to be dealt with. I’m going to enjoy watching this blow up in Biden’s face! It has to get ugly on many levels for the brainwashed to realize it WASN’T Trump causing the problems and violence! That’s the only hope for 2022, if there’s violence from the right, it will play right into their narrative!

Wait until chinajoe empties all the prisons, THATS WHEN THE REAL DESTRUCTION BEGINS, blm and antifa and the rest of the leftist groups HAVE NO POLITICS, they live for violence, thier brains are so warped by computer games they can’t tell the difference between fantasy and reality, they think they are “role playing” a game, they have tasted blood and they want more, the socialist/ dems have played a dangerous game and it WILL blow up in thier stupid faces, they won’t be able to control them.

The militants of Marxism do not respect the Democrats. They don’t respect Americans. If they get into trouble, they know legally nothing will happen to them. They are a protected class now.

The democrats instigated and encouraged the violence for months because they could use it against Trump. I an going to enjoy watching the democrats get their ass handed to them as the violence continues to escalate. Until the American people find their moral courage and stand up against the unlawful behavior it’s only going to get worse. Donald Trump was the closest thing we’ve had in generations to a strong leader and that is a lot of the problem. It’s a lack of leadership and there is no such animal in the democrat party. They are like vermin and only strong in overwhelming numbers.
