Antifa agitators have filed a lawsuit against the City of Seattle, claiming that a heavy handed police response to “protests” has forced the group to invest in more expensive riot gear.

KIRO 7 News reports that Antifa is complaining that police use of blast balls, sponge rounds, pepper spray, and other crowd control methods has meant the rioters have had to buy “expensive” protective gear.

“Because the Seattle Police Department has acted above and outside the law in dispensing its unbridled force, and the City has failed to prevent same, the government effect is to establish a de facto protest tax,” the lawsuit claims.

“Individual protesters subjected to SPD’s unabated and indiscriminate violence now must purchase cost-prohibitive gear to withstand munitions – even when peacefully protesting – as a condition to exercising their right to free speech and peaceable assembly,” lawyers also suggest.

“The continued misuse of war munitions by SPD against civilians turns the streets – a public forum and site of protest – into a pay-to-protest racket where only a privileged few who are wealthy enough or popular enough to crowdsource funds to purchase gear akin to that used by the police department they fund can truly be in the streets,” the lawsuit continues.

Police declared a previous “protest” on July 25th by the Antifa members as a riot.

Close to fifty people were arrested, with more than 55 police officers sustaining injuries. Antifa rioters set trailers set on fire, smashed windows, damaged cars, and threw explosive devices, bottles, and rocks at police officers.

Following this and several previous incidents, the city council has put an ordinance into place preventing police from using ‘less lethal tools’.

Seattle police chief Carmen Best has warned that if the city appeases the rioters, her force will have no way of protecting residents.

“Simply put, the legislation gives officers NO ability to safely intercede to preserve property in the midst of a large, violent crowd.” Best wrote.

Rand Paul: “There’s Going To Come A Day Of Reckoning”; People Will “Rise Up”

“There’s going to be a day that people are going to wake up and say, ‘We’ve had enough.'”

Senator Rand Paul vowed this past weekend that a “day of reckoning” is coming for Democrats because Americans are sick and tried of spiralling crime and violence dominating their cities.

Appearing on Hannity, Paul spoke of the Democrats’ double standards on political violence in the wake of an attack on GOP Rep. Lee Zeldin last week during a campaign speech.

“The left wing is egging this on,” Paul urged, adding “and if we want to end this we have to start locking people up.”

Paul compared the media coverage of the attack on Zeldin to how the media covered Paul being violently attacked a few years ago, noting that the a Louisville Courier reported said “violence against me was justified.”

Paul went on to decry the rise of crime and violence, noting “There’s going to come a day of reckoning where the people who live in New York City – crime disproportionately affects those in poor neighborhoods and those who are minorities. One day they’re going to rise up and say, ‘We’ve had enough. The Democrats are not protecting our children.'”

Paul continued, “Kids are dying at the bus stop. Kids are dying on the subway. The Democrats don’t care about your kids. And it continues to happen decade after decade.”

“There’s going to be a day that people are going to wake up and say, ‘We’ve had enough. We’re going to vote for law and order.’ And Lee Zeldin is the law and order candidate,” Paul asserted.

“So I think there is a chance that people will say, ‘I don’t care, Black, White, whatever. I’m not associated with any party. I want a stop to the crime and we have to put people in jail.’ I think that’s coming,” Paul added.

    Videos: Violent Attacks On Pregnancy Clinics Continue

    Antifa thugs are even attacking pro-abortion pregnancy centres

    As Democrats are pledging to ignore the Supreme Court ruling to hand back abortion laws to States, and to erect macabre illegal abortion tents in national parks, pregnancy centres throughout America, even pro-choice ones, continue to be violently attacked.

    The ‘night of rage’ appears to be turning into an entire Summer, again. Democrats still refuse to condemn the violence.

    Watch:

    An Antifa mob in Portland even attacked a clinic that isn’t anti-abortion. The Mother and Child Education Center executive director Maura White told Fox News “They lumped us in with them,” adding “We’re not anti-abortion.”

    Anything with the words ‘mother and child’ or ‘pregnancy’ on its sign seems to be a viable target for these morons.

    When the Antifa thugs learned they had attacked a pro-choice centre, they stood by the action, reasoning that the executive director is a “liberal catholic democrat.”

    They also smashed up a Starbucks for the hell of it, even though the company has pledged to financially aid abortion travel:

    Rioters Attack Cops, Smash Windows During Roe v Wade Protest in LA

    Mob carried Communist flags.

    A group of rioters, some carrying Communist flags, threw rocks at police and smashed squad car windows last night during unruly protests against the Supreme Court’s indication that it might overturn Roe v Wade.

    The LAPD issued a citywide tactical alert in response to the disorder after a group of about 250 protesters became violent.

    According to LAPD Chief Michel Moore, the protesters were ordered to disperse just after 9pm, but their anger escalated.

    “Moore said the group began throwing rocks and bottles at the LAPD officers, and one officer was injured,” reports NBC Los Angeles.

    “An ambulance was called to the scene, but authorities could not confirm the officer’s condition.”

    Police trying to arrest one of the rioters were surrounded by a mob, enabling one individual to escape.

    Another video clip shows irate rioters insulting and threatening cops.

    Some of the rioters were carrying Communist flags.

    Another clip shows the rioters smashing up a squad car.

    Expect more of this chaos for weeks to come, as leftists once again throw giant hissy fits in response to the normal functioning of a Constitutional democracy.
