Hmmm: Seattle Removes BLM Garden, Ejects Homeless

The garden first took hold in 2020 during the height of the racial justice movement and was often used as a gathering space ahead of demonstrations. Later it began to be tended by a group called Black Star Farmers and hosted various perennials but was also used to distribute free food and natural medicines.

However, Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) announced earlier this year it would reclaim the space to support larger community uses at the park. The garden was located in Cal Anderson’s Sun Bowl area, a natural amphitheater that is close to electrical and water hook-ups.

The parks department said in a statement Wednesday on the removal, saying the garden has created unsafe conditions at the park.

[Funniest line in the video report: ‘The removal was mostly peaceful[.]” Reporters saw and captured on video two times where police had to use pepper spray to chase away the activists and the homeless from seizing that part of the park again. Julio Rosas would be amused. At any rate, even Seattle seems to have grown tired of Woke Inc and the BLM movement’s insurrection. — Ed]
