Activists Hold Vigil, Harass Security After City Clears BLM Memorial Garden

View at Twitter

What a Moment

On New Year’s day, a man walking through the park got tired of watching FAR-LEFT activists harass security guards. So he snatched away a Commie propaganda sign, tore it in half, then proceeded to pull a Bo Jackson on the wooden stick.

Causing Chaos

On New Year’s day, FAR-LEFT activists tore down fencing around the former BLM Garden. The so called mutual-aid groups have maintained a vigil nearby and have been harassing security guards on site.

Laser Pointers

A few days ago, one of the FAR-LEFT activists or a homeless person apparently shined a laser pointer at the guards. This is why the fenced off area needs private security 24/7.

Never Forget

Few days before the BLM Garden sweep, it looked like a disaster. This place was no longer a symbol social justice, it turned into a blight on the community.

City Crushes Garden

On the morning of Dec 27, city crews swooped in to find the homeless asleep and moved in with bulldozers and cops. By the time activists realized what was happening, it was too late to call in their comrades for reinforcements.

BLM Garden Tension

Back in October, FAR-LEFT activists jumped into the fight to preserve garden. It’s been up since the 2020 George Floyd riots and the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest(CHAZ/CHOP.)

Full Blown Takeover

City failed to remove the BLM Garden right away. Protesters kept a 24/7 vigil. Complicating matters, they invited more chronically homeless people to camp in the park and used them as pawns in their demonstration.

Huge Embarrassment

Look what happened to the Cal Anderson Park bathrooms during the BLM Garden take over. Just a total fail.
