Seattle’s anarchist thugs emerged from their caves yesterday, wearing masks, burning and bashing, and assaulting police officers. Both the Seattle Times and Seattle Post-Intelligencer have useful accounts of the mayhem.
What do these fools hope to accomplish other than experiencing illicit self-gratification? Conventional wisdom holds they’re leftists, but they could be right wingers hoping to discredit the left. Whatever their politics, they bring opprobrium not only upon themselves but upon the thousands who engaged in peaceful, legitimate May Day (International Workers Day in most parts of the world) activities in one of my favorite cities.
Find them. Arrest them. Burn their masks and hoodies. Prosecute them. Convict them. Throw them in the slammer. And throw away the key.
