Civil unrest is brewing today in Seattle, WA as agitators take to the streets in supposed solidarity for the civil unrest in Charlottesville VA during the last 72 hours.
And nothing says solidarity like marching through the streets with the Soviet flag.
But the police response between the cities is stark. And therefore, so is the level of violence. While police stood by and watched violence ramp up in Virginia — culminating when a man drove a car into a crowd of protesters killing a woman and injuring others — it does not appear Seattle will suffer a similar debacle.
Because the police are not standing around and rubber stamping chaos.
See for yourself.
