There’s actual video of hipster oligarch Dave Meinert getting shoved by a silver-haired Parks District opponent at a pro-Parks District press conference:
“I’ve never been at a press conference like that ever,” said Wells. “That was angrier than any of the minimum-wage stuff,” Meinert concurs.
They’re not always obedient, but I don’t think $15 Now and Socialist Alternative get enough credit for how civil they’ve always been. Never a hint of violence or unrest. Extremely well disciplined. Very peaceful.
Yet some of these anti-Parks Districts folk… what a bunch of assholes.
Sorry it happened to Meinert, but maybe it can happen to the Liberty Bar owner and he can decide how unreasonable and angry he thinks Sawant is.
looks like Meinert shoved first as self-appointed door guard…
Great point Goldy! Thank you for making it!
Yawn, slow news day?
If you think that was bad, you should have been to Mike O’Brien’s and Joe McDermott’s “town hall” at NSCC regarding the Chris Hansen’s arena. Half drunk sports fans screaming at senior citizens and shouting down women who came to disagree at this astro-turf event. Security was called a couple of times on drunk sports fans that tried to start fights. It was appalling. And no one reported on it. No one in “progressive” Seattle cared about civility then.
