Apparently, the same old left wing gang in Seattle has decided to declare city hall its sovereign territory or some such stupid stunt.
Seattle has a lengthy history of these folks doing activist/violence demos. It's a small group and I believe partially stems from the influence of the Seattle Six (or was it seven), a group of 'warriors' who moved from Ithaca in the early 1970's to Seattle. I knew them. They are the type of 'left-wingers' who once you listen to them for a while, you say, 'give me a break.'
You might remember them from the 1999 World Trade Organization Meeting demos https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_Seattle_WTO_protests
They are the last remnants of West coast lefties who came to prominence in the early 1900, and then pretty much disappeared by the 1950's. Seattle is the rump of this gang. The dozen or so 'antifa' activists from Portland know them as their great Marxist illusion packs a couple of school buses (or would if they could find an electric one).
They can be safely ignored and will go back to something that makes sense, like their favorite climate change issues.
