For old times' sake, let's do a quick flashback to only a year ago, when stalwart local independent Seattle journalist Jonathan Choe was documenting the goings-on at the University of Washington's Seattle campus.
The Hamasholes, much as they were on campuses across the country, had set up little tents and were camping out on university property and amusing themselves by harassing, threatening, and intimidating Jewish students. This was all in the name of unity with the Palestinian cause as well as a way of forcing the school into divesting from anything associated with Israel and local employer Boeing, whose bombs and aircraft were used by Israelis in the fight against the scourge that is Hamas.
Tension running high on the University of Washington(@UW) campus in Seattle. More pro-Hamas protesters have showed up to the quad. They are taking turns manning the encampment and plan to be here until the school fully cuts ties from Boeing and Israel.

Here it is a year later, and darned if the little imps aren't still full of piss and vinegar...although, in all honesty, it's still mostly piss.
They've gotten themselves worked back up into lather over Boeing again but decided to change their protest threads from colorful, hippe-style bandanas and dirty t-shirts of assorted Palestinian greens, whites, and reds to a more slimming, 'we mean business' universal black ensemble.
With bags over their heads - that, at least, is sort of an improvement from an aesthetic viewpoint.
I mean, if this doesn't scream malevolent, needy, porculent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle larper, nothing does.

It also shrieks 'pay my student loans,' but that's another post for another day.
So, anyway, the kiddoes were back to vicious mischief as only they do it, starting this past Monday (as John covered here yesterday), which is when they caught my attention.
There's a brand-spankin' new and very expensive building on the U of W campus, called the Interdisciplinary Engineering Building (IEB). It attracted the notice and raised the ire of the 'student' body, Hamasholes, and their friends, thanks to some of its construction and very expensive scientific equipment being paid for by Boeing. The major portion of the project was a $50M contribution from WA state taxpayers.
The nasty little cretins decided that they would block to entrance to the new facility and occupy the building and they made no bones about their intentions.
The @UW leadership had FULL WARNING because these anti-American lunatics posted about it in advance. CLEARLY, the Administration failed to prepare. Where are @UW_Police? 2/4 pic.twitter.com/cBSkRb8df0

When these pictures were taken Monday afternoon, supposedly the Seattle Police Department was en route to take charge and clear the area...or at least the brand-new building.
ANTIFA rioters have completely taken over the University of Washington’s Interdisciplinary Engineering hall.

Heres what it looks like. Entrances are barricaded with furniture. pic.twitter.com/jc5xFKrlU2
What happened next is Seattle in a nutshell, emphasis on the 'nut.'
The protestors ran the UW campus security agents off with barely any effort and some harsh language.
The police have arrived at the University of Washington ANTIFA encampment - they were blocked and repelled by protestors with garbage can shields. pic.twitter.com/sFyJthgPAX

And then they did the exact same thing to the Seattle cops when they showed up - cops slithered ignominiously away in the face of the black-clad urban terrorists.
Herded like sheep down the hill.
ANTIFA pushes Seattle PD down a hill, fully repelling them from the lecture hall of interdisciplinary engineering.

I’ve never seen such a broken police department that allows THEMSELVES to BE POLICED pic.twitter.com/8ZOX1BqvDd
Most disgusting thing I've ever seen or damn near.
Then they went back to building barricades and setting fires.
ANTIFA has mobilized bike racks and statues from UW campus and placed them in the streets.

There are at least 4 busses and several cars completely backed up on the streets surrounding the encampment building pic.twitter.com/0jZflqiFKC
While Seattle PD mewled about having 'thirty minutes to clear the area.'
Another angle. Protestors are now asking if anyone has projectiles. pic.twitter.com/pxQETKbXQS
— Cam Higby | America First 🇺🇸 (@camhigby) May 6, 2025
Yeah. Right.
Electric bikes that had been added to the racks in the barricades on fire started cooking off.
EXPLOSIONS ON CAMPUS: @UW student filmed ANTIFA lit fires last night. As he walks away a loud bang is heard causing a visible jump.

This was the sound of the batteries within electric Lime bikes cooking off and exploding.
Several are seen in the fire here 👇🏻 pic.twitter.com/RJvrfxGlTi
The cops finally went in, got the place cleared after facing a barrage of stones and other projectiles, and found the beautiful new science building and all that fabulous equipment basically destroyed. The building is going to be closed for at least the rest of the year.
Sources say a command center was set up with food, tools, and weapons. The far-left activists were planning to stay for days. pic.twitter.com/VoRieeux5D

The savages swear they'll be back.

Thirty of the thugs were arrested, including one who is an attorney with the county's public defender's office.
NEW: One of the radicals arrested last night at UW is reportedly attorney Sam Sueoka with the King County Public Defenders office. Now you understand why criminals get priority over victims in this region. It’s all upside down. https://t.co/vffMsqPz49

Five have already been released, including this same clown. Misdemeanors.
BREAKING: 5 of the @UW rioters from last night have already been released

Prosecutors & police didn't object to their release after 4 of them had hearings this morning, where a judge found probable cause for the arrests for Criminal Trespass in the First Degree, a gross… https://t.co/gfPQ5IQtgu
...where a judge found probable cause for the arrests for Criminal Trespass in the First Degree, a gross misdemeanor.
The case has not been sent from investigators to prosecutors for a charging decision yet. Charging decisions routinely come after a first appearance hearing, where probable cause can be found for an arrest.
Those that have been released are Sam Seouka, with the public defender's office, Oliver Brown, Lucas Nicolas McAuslan, and Genevieve Konijiksy
The university president sent out an 'I'm horrified' statement, and the Seattle media called them 'masked activists...staging a blockade' while reporting on the takeover and subsequent riot.
Just another day in Seattle.
Like yesterday was when the same-minded, black clad, 'masked activists' viciously attacked folks attending the event featuring Riley Gaines that David wrote about earlier.
Throwing poop at your political opposition is *NOT* normal https://t.co/IdoTFMOOJo

Flying poo is the perfect analogy.
Just another evening out in the Third World s**thole that is Seattle.
I am almost to the point where I feel as if I'm insulting the Third World using that phrase.
How have the seismic readings been in the Olympic chain lately? Mt St Helens quiet? No wisps of smoke, no rumbles in that subterranean belly?
Surely, as this city spirals into unrecoverable darkness, a reckoning of epic proportions has to be coming...in some fashion.
And they may not get to choose their destructor.
