Seattle Mayor Warns of Potential Violence at ‘May Day’ Protest

The Seattle Mayor’s Office issued a press release Friday warning of potential violence, property damage and intent to disrupt peaceful protest for this Tuesday’s “May Day” marches. The release stated the office had evidence “other people may be coming to Seattle” and cites some websites have been giving instruction for how to conceal weapons and target authorities. At the same time, the mayor is stating that action is being taken to ensure the safety of peaceful protesters and the public at large.

Watch this local report on the warning:

Here’s exactly what the release said with regard to the potential for violent action (via Capitol Hill Seattle):

We also have evidence that other people may be coming to Seattle on Tuesday with the intention of using the public demonstrations as an opportunity to commit violence, damage property and disrupt peaceful free speech activity. There has been a significant increase in graffiti and posters alluding to violence around the May 1 events. Websites have described trainings in how to conceal weapons beneath signs and banners, and how to target police officers on horses. At a protest at the Port of Seattle in December 2011, several people used peaceful demonstrators as a shield to throw projectiles and incendiary devices at police officers.

Early Thursday morning an incendiary device was thrown at a bank in Columbia City. This was similar to an attack on a bank that took place in Portland late Wednesday night.

Seattle Police command staff and Mayor’s Office staff have been working with protest organizers, property owners, and other stakeholders to facilitate peaceful, constitutional demonstrations. Officers will respond appropriately to criminal acts and threats or harm directed against participants, non-participants, and property.

Seattle Mayors Office Cites Evidence of Violent Action Being Planned for May Day Protest

The May Day protests take place each year in remembrance of the 1919 Seattle General Strike, which was largely peaceful and had 60,000 port workers and thousands of other supporters advocating for higher wages. It effectively shut down the city. This year marks the 12th annual time the May Day March for Workers and Immigrant Rights have been taking place in the city. Capitol Hill Seattle reports last year’s march was peaceful.

Here’s why the annual march takes place according to one of the event organizers May 1 Seattle:

We are striking to halt the flow of capital, reclaim a tool of resistance, and unify movements against exploitation, repression, and corruption. You should join the movement and strike because: everyone else will be doing it and it’ll be fun and empowering. But more importantly, join because you’ve experienced exploitation, repression, and corruption, and you are aware of their impact around you. Join if you are forced to work and consume; if you want to have a choice for an alternative.

By general strike, we mean everyone from all walks of life halting their role in producing, consuming, and participating within the current system. We invite the precarious workers, unemployed, undocumented, students, and everyone to join.

Occupy Seattle is calling for supporters to take to the streets as well on May 1 against the “current excess of capitalism” and the “system itself.”

    What the Hell! It’s Seattle ferchrissakes! They should be HAPPY to EMBRACE the workers and May Day hanger-ons. I suppose they are blaming the gun dealers, though, of allowing White Supremacists straw sales of weapons, that then get sold on the street at a profit (Damn Capitalism!) in the hands of the anarchists, communists, socialists, and local teachers. If we are lucky Seattle will be burned to the ground.

      Glenn had on a GBTV segment that revealed how OWS, the black mobs, and anarchists are all tied together in order to bring the utmost pressure to bear on this society.

      They’re doing what amounts to beating a dead horse, however, because the change they want from capitalism to socialism/communism CANNOT come about if the revenue isn’t there to support it. And this country is too weak to support the kind of political system they’re trying to usher in.

      What are they going to do IF they were to change the system, when it will cause an economic collapse in doing so, because it is on the verge of collapsing right now? And PLEASE believe me. It’s very close to collapsing right now. http://www.trendsjournal.com

      Socialism needs a healthy economy just like capitaliasm in order to thrive.

      It will be interesting to see how these “brilliant’ dork “leaders” destroy themselves.

      Seattle is nice on the surface in terms of buildings, scenery, etc., but the people are really awful. I have lived all over U.S., and Seattle is dead last in terms of genuine, decent, warm people. They are grown children, which is odd, because they hate children (ie., don’t have them, abort them at record levels, teach them horrible things, etc.).

      Seattle is basically a marxist breeding ground. They take YOUR kids and transform them into marxo-zombie. These are militant people. If it involves the dark side of life (drugs, anarchy, death, mutilation) they love it. If it involves beauty, they hate it.

Why do we think Obama signed one of his latest “executive” orders against free speech and the one about a “national emergency”? These are all disguised ways to stop any election in November due to his OWS movement that he is encouraging. The Greek violence is being encouraged from the highest level in our country and then when they have accomplished it he can declare martial law and send in the 101st and stop any elections or truly peaceful protests.

      Questions to you:

      1. Where do you find “massive social services” in the US Constitution as a legitimate use of raising and outlaying federal revenue?

      2. Since the power to enagage in “massive social services” is not found in the US Constitution as a legitimate power of the purse for Congress, why not instead of rioting, pursue the change you wish to see through Article 5? It lays out two ways to amend the US Constitution.

How does the aphorism go…repeating an action that continually fails is a sign of mental defect.., or something along those lines. Marx in developing Communism failed to incorporate correctly the most important factor, human nature. And Communism Lite (i.e. Socialism) is as prone to the disruption this causes as much as – if not more so, than the political philosophy it spawned from. P.S.

      @HONESTYBEFORE “Marx in developing Communism failed to incorporate correctly the most important factor, human nature.”

      Exactly. Socialism&Communism turn basic human nature on its head: Human nature is to attend to the needs of one’s self and family first, then friends, community, nation/larger group, in that order. Soc&Com assume that people will place the needs of the state/collective at the top of the list, with needs of self/family at the bottom. Soc&Com also assume that people will behave perfectly according to the state’s ideals.

      I met an individual who DEFECTED from an Eastern Bloc country back in the 1970s (remember those days?) who said the following about the corrupt and economically barren country he had left behind:

    Why doesn’t this moron Mayer just cancel all May Day marches? Problem solved.
    These filthy, violent, “occupy” freaks, are costing the tax payers a bundle, everywhere they go.

    The good TEA Party folks are treated like dirt, by city officials and the Liberal media. They have to jump through hoops, just to get a permit.
    The TEA Party folks are peaceful, quiet, neat, clean, and pick up after themselves.

      We shouldn’t have to shut down any march, but it is peaceful marching that is “legal”. It is strange how the clean, law-abiding, tax paying, smaller government, American loving TEA Party movement is villified, IRS investigated and attacked as racists when it is OWS that is shouting racist remarks, making threats against the police and breaking every law they can while leaving mountains of filth when they are finally removed. No rapes, murders or thefts at any TEA Party rally…

    “Seattle Police command staff and Mayor’s Office staff have been working with protest organizers, property owners, and other stakeholders to facilitate peaceful, constitutional demonstrations.”

    Do you think this would happen with Tea Party Rally organizers? Not no, but hell no. Cities like this will bend over backwards for the destructive anarchists, but will give truly peaceful groups an extreme difficult time and lay on requirements for insurance, an extraordinary number of portable toilets, and so forth. If not turned down outright.

    These cities may well bring upon themselves what they deserve. After the destruction I wonder if their idiot politicians will start to be thrown from office.
