Rumour has it that those tires were members of Antifa.  The dude is just fighting terror.

Seattle now has a 6 odd block autonomous zone?  https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/127037535361412301

Ya, this is still a protest and not an insurrection /s

The closer it becomes to an insurrection the better. Make those capitalist swine sweat. And then chop off their heads!

Seriously though, there's more than just frustration with racist killer cops driving this. Transparency of class warfare comes to mind.

Since when has looting and rioting uplifted people let alone as a whole? 

Joshua Frank - 

“The looting of stores is inherently a class issue…[W]hile wealthy people don’t loot strip malls, they are adept at looting natural resources and labor, from the coalfields of West Virginia to Jeff Bezo’s Amazon warehouses. The poor, exerting their nominal power—even in a destructive and violent manner—display an entirely natural reaction to a continually powerless state of being.”

in·sur·rec·tion /ˌinsəˈrekSH(ə)n/ - noun - a violent uprising against an authority or government.

I am not sure 6 blocks of music and hippy style protest with food carts and movie nights qualify as "violent".

Serious question - would you voluntarily live in the "Free Capitol Hill" in Seattle? I also thought Liberals were against walls ;)
