FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino announced on X that there is an investigation into a violent attack on a Christian rally and concert in Seattle’s Cal Anderson Park on May 27.
The event, organized by On Fire Ministries to oppose abortion and promote science-based views on gender, was disrupted by Antifa and transgender activists, leading to 27 arrests.
Bongino stated, “We have asked our team to fully investigate allegations of targeted violence against religious groups at the Seattle concert. Freedom of religion isn’t a suggestion.”
As reported Monday in Must Read Alaska, a worship rally organized by Christians from On Fire Ministries turned violent Saturday afternoon at Cal Anderson Park, located in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, a formerly family-oriented neighborhood that has been taken over by the LGBTQ+ community.
The Mayday USA event was part of a five-city national tour and in Seattle drew violent opposition from transgender activist groups and resulted in 23 arrests after the trans-activists attacked the worship attendees and police.
After the mayhem was brought under control and arrests were made, Mayor Bruce Harrell criticized the Christians for holding a rally and said closer review of rally permits would take place.
Mayor Harrell said the event was counter to the values of Seattle. He called the prayer gathering a “right-wing extremist rally.”
“When the humanity of trans people and those who have been historically marginalized is questioned, we triumph by demonstrating our values through our words and peaceful protest – we lose our voice when this is disrupted by violence, chaos, and confusion,” Harrell said.
Later, Harrell pulled the race card and said that “We will not be intimidated by the kind of fear-mongering and divisiveness inspired by the rally and extreme rhetoric … that takes aim at our residents and at Seattle’s second black and first Biracial mayor.”
“Seattle is proud of our reputation as a welcoming, inclusive city for LGBTQ+ communities, and we stand with our trans neighbors when they face bigotry and injustice. Today’s far-right rally was held here for this very reason – to provoke a reaction by promoting beliefs that are inherently opposed to our city’s values, in the heart of Seattle’s most prominent LGBTQ+ neighborhood. When the humanity of trans people and those who have been historically marginalized is questioned, we triumph by demonstrating our values through our words and peaceful protest – we lose our voice when this is disrupted by violence, chaos, and confusion. Anarchists infiltrated the counter-protestors group and inspired violence, prompting SPD to make arrests and ask organizers to shut down the event early, which they did,” Harrell said.
Seattle and Anchorage are both SH_THOLES.
Bongino is the best! This is exactly what Seattle and it’s loser Mayor deserve
Why do straight White Christian Nationalists feel so threatened by the LGBTQ community? It’s almost as if they think their hetero marriages are somehow devalued or threatened by it. Are they that insecure in their own relationships that the only way they can shore them up is to run down those of people who are different?
No whidby. These freaks are preying on our children. The only insecure person on this blog is you.
Well, I’m just asking questions, you know.
Silly Dog.
You must have low reading comprehension or dyslexia. It’s reverse of your futile fear mongering claim.
Obviously it’s the LGBTQ… that feels threatened by straight normal folks due to their inherent feelings of guilt from poor life choices.
Seriously? I think it is the other way around. Why do the LGBTQ community fear the Judeo Christian nuclear family with 2.3 kids? A little jealous their own kind are unable to reproduce? So jealous that they must attack those who who do live by their standards? They are not protesting, it is a full out attack. What happens when they pick the wrong event and someone gets seriously hurt?
Dog, the question should be: why does the LBGTQ community feel
so threatened by Christians who believe in traditional values and a peaceful rally that they resort to violence that results in 23 arrests of the violent LBGTQ demonstrators. And the Mayor fueled the violence with his out of line support for their violent behavior.
Seattle used to be a beautiful city that Alaskans looked forward to visiting and where they spent lots of money. Not anymore! People are moving out of Seattle and visitors are shunning the place because of the violence and unwelcoming attitudes of its Mayor and other so called city leaders.
So says a LGBTQ leader
Gaslight much?
Why does the LGBGTQ community feel so threatened by everyone else? It’s almost as if they think their way of life is threatened or devalued by a group of people who merely wanted to have a get-together. Are they so insecure in their own bodies that the only way they can feel worthwhile is to attack people and their kids who don’t conform to their ways and demands?
Whidbey. It is the democrat lgbt antifa extremism who are a threat.. if they are willing to attack and kill their babies in the womb, there is no atrocity they will not commit. When those who follow god are targeted by violence from the radical left, it is only natural to prepare and defend against it.
The way you speak dog is quite like how the CIA runs its operations to enact regime change in other countries. Division tactics, accusations and psychological projections. We see the game you are playing Dog. Time for you to go to the pound.
Dawg; I’m a gay man and find the Gay Alphabet Mafia are the ones threatening, harassing and literally assaulting heterosexual Christians.
If they want to truly be left alone and live their lives in peace.. they should stop their violent actions against everyone that dares question their cult.
Whitney, do you tuck?
It’s bizarre your comment whidbey. Would you let your 6 year old daughter hang out with the trans genders???
This has nothing to do with conservatives insecurity it’s odd you would think that. They appear very secure putting themselves out like they do. Takes a lot of guts to get up in front of a crowd let alone a deranged crowd.
(Hint: Who attacked who?)
Whidbey, why do you believe it is ok for Queers to physically assault Christians?
Bongino all talk no action, like Patel forever ruined their reputations, won’t be forgotten soon. What should happen is Harmeet Dillion should investigate the mayor and the cronies for a violation of civil rights.
Also Bongino: Epstein killed himself🙄
It is possible that Kash, Bongino, and Bondi are all compromised. Prove me wrong and release the Epstein list.
It is also possible that our world is a giant simulation meant to test our resolve and for us to determine reality for our selves and that God is a Cosmic Jester that is laughing at the Grand Comedy play out. It is possible we will never see justice in anything and that we will wake up from this dream/nightmare eventually and remember that this was all just a silly game.
The Christians wanted to be down near Pikes Market.
Seattle would not permit them there and instead gave a permit in this park, the epicenter of Seattle gay life.
Who made that decision at Seattle’s City Hall?
That’s what should be investigated, that decision at City Hall, it was made to cause trouble imo.
It was City Hall’s way of saying if conservatives come here, they will be given a hard time, not only in the streets, but from the Seattle bureaucracy as well.
Did some research.
Seattle has 10% ‘no religion’ (atheists).
It is the highest % of anti religious of any US city.
Double San Francisco (5% – hard to believe, right?) and Boston (4% & enslaved by the Kennedys)
That is the top 3 for cities – SEA #1 …. SF #2 and BOS #3
Looking at “non-religious States”: AK is the ONLY RED STATE on the top 10 list for no religion.
So it is only a matter of time until we are Blue (like Lisa)
Get used to it or move.
