    Looks like tourists to me. If they are arrested then they should be pardoned

    It is already over. It was handled quite a while before you posted this. 30 people were arrested on suspicion of vandalism and trespassing.

    I'm pretty sure that police ushered them into the building.

    Not because there is any evidence whatsoever that indicates that, and there is actually plenty to the contrary. But I think that because there's this one guy I know who really lies a lot, and he's been spreading that lie, and he really want other people to say that also.

    Other than the headlines I see no evidence that “antifa” had anything to do with it. Otherwise arrest and charge all the dumbasses. Such behavior should not be permitted.

    That’s because you only read and post fake news sites. By “left leaning” I’m sure you mean Fox.

    Those are probably righties dressed in Antifa masks. Can’t trust any of those righty rabble rousers.

    Today's protest was approx 30 students, who object to Boeing Corporation's contracts and sales to Israel, and who have identified with the plight of Palestinians in Gaza. They have NOT stated they support Hamas.

    Fox News used the Antifa label. Nearly all other media outlets are labelling the group as pro-Palestinian students.

    Antifa is not a group; it's an idea (Anti-Fascism.) Not everyone who protests (per an American civil right) or doesn't support Trump are "Antifa."

    Disagree. Trump is a Fascist, therefore anyone that doesn't support Trump is in fact "Anti-fascist"

    you quoted a far-right website that called it “an antifa-style mob.”
    That story claimed they torched the building. The Seattle newspaper said fires were started in two dumpsters outside

    and it was finished last night.

    If they are foreigners, that’s an abuse of the privilege to be here. Bye,bye.

    your own article said antifa in the title but in the body said “Antifa-style” - whatever that means. So your publication is either outright intentionally lying or is so sloppy that they can’t tell the difference. Why would you even read a publication that has such poor journalistic standards?

    If you actually read what you posted you might have realized this.
