Seattle local press was talking on social media in the last day about what they’ve had to put up with covering the BLM radical leftists. It’s not just the police and the citizens who have faced harassment from the crazies.
Now while national media has fallen down on the job, local Seattle media does have some good folks who have tried to cover what’s going on accurately.
The local press took some great video which show just how unhinged some of these folks are including threatening the press.
The radicals were disturbed that one of their members had been arrested, so they converged on the King County jail and tried to get in. They also didn’t want the press to take their pictures.
Warning for language in all the videos.
HARASSED: All media being blocked from recording protesters at King Co. Jail. Several are trying to get into the building. This is same group that shut down traffic this morning in HWY 99 tunnel leading into Downtown Seattle. #SEATTLE #seattleprotest #Protests #Seattleprotest pic.twitter.com/y863dnwK89

FOLLOWED: Around 40 protesters remain in front of King Co. Jail. The moment we start rolling on what they are doing. We get hands in our face or chased away. That’s my photog getting followed. #Seattle #Seattleprotest #Seattleprotests pic.twitter.com/05KSVAzoTV

OFFICIAL WORD: King Co. Jail spokesperson says before 12pm, some protesters with drums, sticks, and pepper spray tried to enter the building. However, deputies secured the inner doors and lobby area. Seattle Police called for back up. Protesters remain on scene. #Seattleprotests pic.twitter.com/fUgD59CSQw

This is what it looked like after the radicals were blocked from getting in and what they left.
PROTESTERS OUT: After temporarily being closed for few hours due to protesters trying to enter, public access to King Co. Jail and courtroom now back open. But this is what protesters left behind. #Seattle #seattleprotests #seattleprotest pic.twitter.com/pCBYovNBhf

Mentally unhinged and racist:
RECAP: What some protesters were yelling @SeattlePD in front of the King Co. Jail. I don’t understand the white on white racial slur? #Seattle #seattleprotests #seattlepolice pic.twitter.com/urNShlvk9X

Thinking God isn’t really behind people attacking and threatening people, not to mention all the lovely language.

But here’s where the incident really got out of control with KIRO reporter Jon Jussero. They threatened him and surrounded his car. They wouldn’t let him out, according to him, and covered part of his car with their clothes so he couldn’t film them. You can hear one of them here threaten that he will “come to [the reporter’s] house” and “Don’t make me break this window.”
Mob would not allow me to do my job today when trying to videotape KC Jail in Seattle. I tried to leave but they surrounded my car put items on windows & continued to terrorize me. One man threaten to break my vehicle windows & come to my home. We are just trying to do our jobs pic.twitter.com/Ek3JRkG12c

Eric Jensen of KOMO News chimed in and said they had faced the same harassment.
This kind of crap has been happening to our crews too. Keep up the good work Jon.

Brandi Kruse, who has been doing great coverage for Q13 Fox, called out the city for failing to protect the press and basically protecting the ‘protesters’ who harass people.
In case you didn’t know by now, @SeattleCouncil couldn’t care less how press in this city is treated. This is an indisputable fact. https://t.co/YkHwP7iCZ0

Same crowd, different news outlet. They don’t care who the journalists are. City Hall gives them cover to act this way. https://t.co/LybMWQCHkY

But Democratic politicians refuse to do anything to protect the people and to stop all this.
The national Democrats have endorsed these folks.
What did the Democrats say about these people last night? Barack Obama called them “peaceful protesters.” These were the words of Barack Obama from his speech:
“To the young people who led us this summer… in so many ways, you are this country’s dreams fulfilled. You can give our democracy new meaning… You’re the missing ingredient– the ones who will decide whether or not America becomes the country that fully lives up to its creed.”
These folks are the missing ingredient? Do we really want the recipe Democrats are endorsing?
