If it’s Washington, D.C., you get car-jacked. In Chicago, you get shot. In L.A., you get crowded out by RV-driving “homeless” tourists. And in Seattle, you suffer all that and get trapped by protesters. For hours.

Pro-Hamas demonstrators blocked traffic in Seattle for nearly three hours Saturday. The terrorist group’s supporters invaded overpasses and flooded Interstate 5, blocking traffic for three long hours. One ambulance was included in the six-mile-long backlog.

Police and state patrol officers attempted to negotiate with Hamas supporters.

This didn’t go so well, as you can see in the photo. After the forced demonstration, protesters stayed for hours and hours.

Fox News 13 Seattle reports protesters cutting the fence with tools to sneak onto freeways.

Unconfirmed news reports state that Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell told his police officers to stand back and not intervene in the protests. Harrell is currently in Houston on official city business. Harrell is in Houston to watch the University of Washington Huskies play in the College Football Championship game on Monday.

Harrell, an ex-Husky, played in the Rose Bowl when Michigan and Washington last met. It was like a national championship.

Black Lives Matter protesters were the last to commit this horrific act against innocent Seattle drivers on July 4, 2022. The man who was later identified as black tried to drive at “freeway speed” to avoid the demonstrators and struck them. One provocateur was killed and another was seriously injured. He was sentenced in September 2023 to six-and-a-half years in prison.

After the BLM incident, the Washington State Patrol (WSP) said that it would rethink its response to terrorist-sympathizing protesters in the future. WSP, in its rethinking, decided to let tens and thousands of motorists be inconvenienced or even endangered instead of arresting those who blocked the freeways.

Recall that the WSP blocked the entrances to the freeways during the BLM demonstration for traffic to stay away from the protest.

The injured demonstrator still sued the police.

I reported on WSP officers trying to convince BLM demonstrators to leave and retreat. They also blocked traffic as a part of their peace offer.

According to KING 5, the late-night protesters who blocked freeways felt “a sense of security” because the “WSP” and the “Seattle Police Department” met with the protest leaders. They were “reassured” that police would “envelope” them in safety and “protect” against harm.

Since the attacks on Israel on October 7, Hamas and other Palestinians have committed atrocities similar to those of ISIS. Terrorist groups have taken control and destroyed countless New Year’s Eve celebrations as well as Christmas tree lightings. Innocent people have also been prevented from exercising their rights and moving freely.

The long-running saga of Saturday is finally over.

When the weather turned cold, rainy, and unpleasant, and darkness descended, the protesters walked away from the freeway, diverted the traffic below, and blocked the road.

No arrests were made.

What is their position on the possibility of negotiations with terrorists again?
