iNFoPiG05-24-2025 - #Seattle - Cal Anderson Park
Content Warning: Christofascism
On Fire Ministries showed up in Seattle this year to continue preaching #hate at Cal Anderson Park. They were met with local resistance for the entire event.
The event started with areas in front of the stage being open, but it wasn't long before SPD and hate group ministries started drawing lines.
In many instances it appeared people were stopped or blocked from certain areas based on nothing more than SPD or hate group ministries own perceptions.
Meanwhile #antifascist counter-protesters played contrasting music at both the north and west sides of Cal Anderson Park. Tables and local artists were also at the north and east sides.
During the event SPD brought in metal blocking gates and after maybe 5 minutes of them being up it was quickly recognized how easily they all collectively come down in a domino-effect once being pushed over. This was very upsetting to the Seattle Police Department and hate group ministries helped put the gates back up.
During the event SPD used excessive force while making aggressive, unnecessary arrests. SPD also unnecessarily utilized pepper spray which negatively impacted people who it was not intended for.
Pictured: Person being held face down on the pavement while an SPD officer appears to be holding the back of their head down.
Photos withheld: A person being arrested appeared to be dragged from their feet while face down over the top of a gate, which may have resulted in an injury. In another arrest, a person's body was unwantingly exposed.
Curiously it appeared the only supporters who showed up for the hate group were the ones they brought themselves. The group pulled in almost no local support at all.
Towards the end of the event for no less than 20-25min, SPD repeatedly claimed they were being blocked from leaving. At no point was SPD blocked from exiting the park. We're not sure what's worse, listening to SPD's constant whining or SPD exhaustively repeating false claims. SPD loudly making a variety of false claims occurs at essentially every similar event they show up for.
Last year this same hate group held the same event in #OlympiaWA at the Capitol, check out our post from last year: https://kolektiva.social/@iNFoPiG/112273340363671435
