Rantz: Activist mob caught destroying another Seattle business

The activist mob that politicians and online propagandists insist is peaceful was caught on video destroying more Seattle businesses. This occurred just hours after Mayor Jenny Durkan told MSNBC that the city doesn’t have “mobs rampant throughout Seattle.”

The riot on Capitol Hill was one of three demonstrations Wednesday night as area-activists escalate their violence. Earlier this week, they had attempted to burn officers alive in a police precinct while another group launched Molotov cocktails at a police union building.

On Wednesday, a large group of black bloc rioters marched through the streets of Seattle targeting a number of businesses, including the Canterbury Ale House on 15th Avenue East. Its destruction was caught on video.

Wednesday night in Seattle, a mob of criminal activists destroyed the storefront of a pub. The "peaceful protest" had hammers as they peacefully redecorated the windows and planters.

Rantz: Despite CHOP murders and crime surge, Durkan claims all is well on MSNBC

Destroying more businesses

A Capitol Hill resident witnessed the mob attack the Canterbury Ale House around 8 p.m. Wednesday night. They took the streets shortly after burning an American flag.

“The mob used hammers to break glass. It was a targeted attack,” the witness tells the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH, requesting anonymity.

“My wife is totally freaked out that I have the video. And I have two children. There is real fear in this neighborhood,” he said.

As the witness filmed, a rioter from the mob shouted, “Man filming! Umbrella!”

This is a common tactic used by the mob to block witnesses from filming their illegal behavior.

This strategy is used to make it harder for police to arrest criminals and easier for online propagandists to claim their behavior is peaceful. They never quite explain why peaceful protesters bring weapons like hammers and explosive devices to their “peaceful protests.”

While this riot wasn’t organized by the group Every Night Direct Demonstration, they tweeted their support, say they are “directing our attention to this event for tonight — please show up, bring everyone you know, and take the fight to the streets.”

A police source tells me from one of the arrests, officers found two Molotov Cocktails.

Why target this pub?

The Canterbury Ale House wasn’t the only business targeted. The mob also went after a Key Bank branch (banking bad!) and Uncle Ike’s, a common target of anti-Semites in the progressive movement.

They targeted the pub because the owner Ryan Lewis condemned looting in a Facebook post. He posted: “Looters should be shot and no I don’t care about your feelings.” He was immediately doxxed.

Lewis later apologized for the comment, but rejected some people’s assertions that his comments were racist.

“In no way would I equate looters with Black people or people of color. I equate looters with people like this, who are cowards,” Lewis told The Stranger.

"Are you the owner of this place? I heard the owner of the place was threatening protesters, he said he was gonna shoot people. There's rumors that he might even be a white supremacist" – patrons were inside when they smashed the windows #Seattle (2/2) pic.twitter.com/3fKiZ5uuCv
