Seattle police tweeted that multiple vehicles were damaged along parts of Seneca Street and Sixth Avenue, and the HomeStreet Bank on 6th was also vandalized. KOMO News reporter Joel Moreno says he and his photographer had been hit with a paint bomb while covering the march and ensuing riot. "We turned the corner and saw large storefronts at Wells Fargo smashed in," he said. "We saw a firebomb of some sort at the U.S. Court of Appeals where they went in and bashed the windows." Moreno said it looks like a firebomb was lobbed inside: "We saw smoke coming from inside the windows." As protestors smashed windows at Niketown, store owners at nearby American Eagle store blocked their doors while customers were still inside in an effort to keep rioters out. The riots had eased by just after 1 p.m. and calmer heads were prevailing, but parts of Downtown Seattle remained littered with broken glass, painted windows, smashed cars and slashed tires as emergency vehicles wound their way around the Downtown core. One of those caught in the protests along Sixth Avenue was a tourist from Vancouver B.C. His car's windows were smashed in by protestors. "My family came down for a holiday, welcome to the States!" he said. "They (protestors) were just going to town on (Niketown windows) and they (nearby cops) weren't doing anything." "I don't know why people want pictures of my car. I don't know why they have to mouth off to me and tell me to go back to Canada," he said. "This is a real welcome to Seattle" [link to www.komonews.com] |

Guys running around dressed all in black with ski masks over their faces would stand out in a crowd just a little bit, you would think. Especially since the guys running around breaking windows and setting fires and stuff in these situations are always dressed that way. I guess the cops have never noticed that coincidence, or never saw the connection. |

If they dressed up in black pajamas and ski masks like all the other undercover cops that go around throwing rocks and breaking shit to stir up trouble, how could you tell who they looked like? They all could be just as white as snowflakes under those ninja costumes. |

But of course you already knew that, didn't you Sheldon. Take a look at the London riots, just an excuse for black people to steal trainers and tv's. |
