According to Seattle Times:
A number of Western Washington tribal leaders and Native organizations issued statements Monday decrying “intimidation acts,” including late-night noise and street graffiti, outside Seattle City Councilmember Debora Juarez’s house by some protesters who want the Police Department defunded.
[...]
Pedersen and Juarez have said they support cuts to the Police Department’s budget. They have not, unlike their seven colleagues, committed to a goal of cutting 50%. Defunding advocates, invoking the Black Lives Matter movement, say the department’s funds should be redirected to community solutions that don’t involve cops with guns who disproportionately use force against Black people, Indigenous people and other people of color.
[...]
Messages written on Pedersen’s windows in Ravenna have included, “Don’t be racist trash” and “F**k you.” Messages written on the street at Durkan’s house have included “Guillotine Jenny” and “Resign Bitch,” according to the mayor’s office. Durkan’s address is protected under a state confidentiality program due to threats related to her time as a U.S. attorney.
At Juarez’s house in Lake City, people have used a bullhorn and spray painted the street with messages such as “corporate bootlicker.”
Juarez is a member of the Blackfeet Nation and worked as a public defender, King County Superior Court judge, financial adviser and attorney before becoming the first Native American person elected to the Seattle City Council. — Seattle Times
My only response is 🤦♀️.
Hey, the Left? I thought our ideals are about inclusivity and not harassment? Especially when it involves attacking people belonging to minority communities. Calling someone trash, no matter the modifier, is not practicing what you preach.
There's activism, and then there's...whatever this shit was.
