Oath Keepers To Ride With Trump Bikers To Liberate Seattle From Antifa

https://prntly.com/2020/06/13/oath-keepers-to-ride-with-trump-bikers-to-liberate-seattle-from-antifa/?fbclid=IwAR1XYklYd8-nv6cm5-jiE0GdCfoofmJmrZ9GlkEDbuMiFGbEwFkMI5rVAvM

Members of Oath Keepers, though not any official chapter yet, have joined the event to ride with bikers for trump and liberate the Antifa autonomous zone in Seattle. Members of multiple chapters have signed up on the event page.

American patriots from across the country have vowed to ride, drive and run into Seattle from across the nation and liberate the city’s Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone from Antifa radicals who have blockaded themselves in the district.

The event can be found below

https://www.facebook.com/events/740456910096468/

Trump-supporting Bikers have agreed to ride once more. This time in an effort to liberate the illegal antifa occupation of Seattle’s Capital Hill neighborhood.

The bikers are going to ride into Seattle on July 4th, and remove the barricades that have turned the neighborhood into an open air prison.

I saw families with children in strollers walking through the CHAZ on the news this morning.

Besides, pretty sure by July 4th they won't even be there.

It is the early stirrings of a lawless paramilitary force sponsored by the cheap thug with his hairspray crown, and set on carrying out his wishes for violence on those he designates as enemies.

The cops likely won't go against this well-armed mob. It could turn into a blood bath.

the notion that white people don't get arrested (or brutalized). Remember, whites are 3/4 of the population (including white Hispanics). AA get arrested in appallingly higher percentages than their 13.3% warrant, but not in higher numbers than white folk.

And no way would these armed hoodlums be allowed to arrive at that little 6-block area. The free-state rhetoric is being gone along with because it's peaceful, and to keep it that way. But it's of course actually City of Seattle, King County, and State of Washington, and the authorities' duty is to protect it and those in it.

The right-wing way, take a peaceful situation and do your best, with outside agitators, to turn it into something violent. MAGA!

Help me out here; I am certainly anti-Fascism, and anti-Fascist, but I don't have a membership card, am I part of ANTIFA?

I may start my own anti-fascist group and call it AOH (Angry Old Hippies) If you want to join, you have to make your own damn card..

located in New York City's Wall Street financial district, back in 2011. The protesters camped out for a few weeks, then the police forced them to leave.

That's why the Proud Boys picked on Portland, and then found out there's steel at the core of our crunchy granola exterior. When the cops got caught coordinating with the nitwits and could no longer be trusted to protect them, they gave up their solemn vow to keep coming back month after month.

Seattle will take their training wheels and send them back home to their mommies.

When I was 6 or 8 or so, there was a bully that would torment me as I sat on the curb by riding his bicycle up and down the street and try to run over my feet.

One day I had a stick with me, about two feet long and about the diameter of your thumb. The bully did what he always did, and I stick the stick in his front spokes.

He no longer tried to run over my feet.

As I said, apropos of nothing.

Are going to be attracted to this. Groups such as the proud boys, 3%ers, boogie boys will all be showing up. The anarchists from Portland will be sure to show up more than willing to engage.
I shouldn't leave out the boys who showed up in small town of Snohomish. Who got played on FB by rumors of antifa coming. Man/childs flashing white power symbols, carrying rebel flags with weapons and assualting kids who talked back. It would be funny if they weren't so dangerous.

Seattle police learned alot from the WTO riots but are not up to the task of keeping these groups separate. Its going to be ugly.

There are nursing homes more intimidating. Probably no one under 65 in the entire crowd.
