'DUMPSTER FIRE is Their State Flower': Riots Move up the West Coast and Into Seattle

As leftists are busy trying to destroy Los Angeles, that same sentiment has made its way up the west coast and into Seattle. While it's not exactly surprising, these areas are known for being pretty far left, it is still noteworthy.

Seattle — Hundreds of masked Antifa and far-left extremists are making their way to a federal building to attack it again like what happened yesterday. The violence is part of a national insurrection against the government and ICE. pic.twitter.com/Lpvvos3QrP

🚨SEATTLE: Rioters have taken over streets around Federal Building. Just rolled a dumpster into intersection and lit it on fire. And it’s only 9:30 PT. They are now shouting INTIFADA. pic.twitter.com/MO3NOMDjqw

Now, we here at Twitchy (along with you, Dear Readers) are old enough to remember when targeting federal government buildings and federal employees was called an insurrection and a dire threat to democracy. But alas, it's (D)ifferent when THEY do it.

When violence hides behind the mask of protest, it’s no longer a movement -

it’s chaos. And chaos must be met with the rule of law.

What these 'protesters' do not seem to understand is that we are a country of laws, and some of those laws deal with the proper way to immigrate to this country. If you break those laws, you will be removed from the country. That's just how this works.
