WATCH: Antifa Marches with Lit Flares in Seattle Pro-Abortion Rally

Bob Price

Antifa protesters joined with pro-abortion activists to rally on the streets of Seattle in reaction to the leaked draft opinion from the U.S. Supreme Court regarding the possible overturn of Roe v. Wade. Antifa carried lit flares and carried signs threatening to “Burn UR State.”

Antifa members took to the streets of Seattle on Tuesday afternoon to join with protesters. The group carried lit torches and threatening signs, according to tweets from independent journalist Katie Daviscourt.

Some of the Antifa crowd chanted “I smell Nazi’s” while carrying lit flares and signs threatening, “Burn Our Rights, We Burn UR State.”

Daviscourt stated that dozens of Antifa members joined forces with the pro-choice marchers. Marchers chanted “Not your body, not your choice.”

The protest took place in the Seattle Police Department’s East Precinct. This is the district that was overthrown in 2020 when the autonomous zone (CHAZ) was set up.

Washington Governor Jay Inslee and other state officials joined the protest to speak against the possible overturn of Roe v. Wade, The Center Square reported.

“Trudi and I have come here to say something very simple and that is this: Washington state was a pro-choice state, Washington state is a pro-choice state and we are going to fight like hell to keep Washington a pro-choice state,” Gov. Inslee told the crowd. The governor was joined by other Washington officials including Attorney General Bob Ferguson, House Speaker Laurie Jinkins, King County Executive Dow Constantine, Congresswomen Pramila Jayapal and Marilyn Strickland, and Seattle Deputy Mayor Monisha Harrell. Jennifer Allen, the CEO of Planned Parenthood Alliance Advocates also joined the group.

In Los Angeles, Antifa protesters also joined with pro-choice protesters and threw rocks and bottles at local and federal police, Breitbart News reported. ICE Homeland Security Investigations and Los Angeles police officers responded to the protest and came under attack from the protesters.

Law enforcement officials attempted to monitor the event as the crowd grew from about 30 people to more than 250. The protesters began blocking streets and intersections to disrupt traffic. Protesters then began hurling bottles and rocks at the officers. At least one officer sustained an injury from the attacks.

Los Angeles Police Department officials tweeted a traffic notice and then an update confirming the attack on the officers and the injury sustained by at least one officer.

Following the night of protests in cities across the nation, President Joe Biden added fuel to the fire saying, “This MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that’s existed in American history.”
