See The Violence Inherent In The Left

"Outrage as Christian prayer rally attacked by mob of woke trans activists in violent clash that lasted HOURS"--Daily Mail. The police statements generically state the violence was between protestors, giving the impression that both sides were responsible for the violence. Why? Because it was the policy of the city of Seattle to fault the Christians. Why do I say this? The author quotes the city's mayor: "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." You have to go to the very bottom of the article to learn that not only was the violence from the leftists, but that the City essentially selected the location of the rally. From the article:

    '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.'

    Folake Kellogg, 58, a spokesperson for the Mayday USA event, told The Seattle Times that their group was not trying to provoke anyone.

    'They say we don't like people. We're not the ones throwing things. We're here to love Jesus,' Kellogg said,

    According to Kellogg, Cal Anderson Park was not their first choice for venue, and they wanted to hold the event at Victor Steinbrueck Park by Pike Place Market, but the city said no. 

In other words, the City forced the rally to be held in a park in an area most likely to cause strife, probably with the intention that it would lead to conflict which would justify the City in shutting down the rally. The mayor's comments clearly show that the City leadership held a certain level of animus against the beliefs of the group holding the rally, so is it any surprise the City would work to sabotage the event?
