A 17-year-old girl was arrested in Seattle on Saturday afternoon after public property was vandalized following a left-wing protest that criticized both the Republican and Democratic Parties.
The “Build the People’s Movement” event attracted about 200 demonstrators at the Space Needle near the city’s downtown, Seattle Police said.
The group posted video to Facebook that shows members telling demonstrators that the U.S. is a “fake democracy” and described the Republican and Democratic Parties as a “fake two-party system [that] has failed us all.” A second video shows demonstrators chanting, “From the sea to the river, Palestine will live forever.”
Demonstrators disrupted traffic and violated municipal laws as they marched southbound on 5th Avenue from the Space Needle towards Downtown Seattle, police said.
