Mayday USA held what was intended to be a peaceful Christian rally in Cal Anderson Park in Seattle on Saturday. Speakers addressed issues of basic moral decency like abortion and subjecting children to sex change procedures.

According to the liberal principle of repressive tolerance, such speech cannot be allowed to take place. Consequently, Radical Women Seattle rallied moonbats to attack the Christians:

By mid-day the mob engaged in a series of violent actions on the Christian rally, forcing police to intervene. At least 23 activists were arrested on charges of assault and obstruction.

The antisocial behavior was thoroughly consistent with woke liberals’ beliefs:

They believe that free speech laws give them the right to disrupt and even violently shut down other people’s free speech. …

Furthermore, the political left argues that the right to disrupt is supported by the content of their opponent’s speech. Meaning, if a person or group is presenting conservative or populist views (what they call “hate speech”), this justifies violence as a tool to shut that speech down.

Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell predictably sided with the violent mob:

“Seattle is proud of our reputation as a welcoming, inclusive city for LGBTQ+ communities, and we stand with our trans neighbors when they face bigotry and injustice. Today’s far-right rally was held here for this very reason – to provoke a reaction by promoting beliefs that are inherently opposed to our city’s values, in the heart of Seattle’s most prominent LGBTQ+ neighborhood…”

Behold what moonbattery has done to what was once an American city:

As Martin Brody might say if shown Seattle, “We’re going to need a bigger can of Raid.”
