Far-left extremists in Seattle reportedly assaulted a number of people Saturday, including, among others, a “well-known street preacher” who’d showed up to their pro-abortion protest to read passages from the Bible.
Video footage captured by journalist Jonathan Choe of the Discovery Institute appears to show the “tail end” of the incident with the street preacher:

From the looks and sounds of it, a bunch of black-clad extremists tried to grab hold of the preacher, prompting him to grab onto a large construction sign and hold on for dear life. They in turn grabbed the sign, hauled it over to a sidewalk, and then dumped it (with him clinging to it) on the ground.
Another batch of extremists meanwhile took his Bible and shredded it. The latter incident can be seen in video footage shared by the preacher himself:

The good news is that the street preacher was apparently OK enough afterward to run back into the pro-abortion protest and continue his attempted preaching.
Look:
HAPPENING NOW: Street preacher seems ok. Just ran back into the crowd! Antifa and far left activists swarming him. I’ve also just been outted! 😀 Umbrella crew and nut jobs now coming after me. I’m taking a little break. I’ll be back. 🔥💵 #RoeVsWade #RoevWade #Protest #Seattle pic.twitter.com/LuQBQZfDYB

The bad news is that, after targeting the street preacher, the extremists started targeting Choe and his security guard next.

CHASED: I was trying to record Antifa trying to break windows. Then the mutual aid far left activists spotted me and pointed me out. This black bloc group may be most emboldened crew ever. Knocked my phone down but I picked up right away. Had to out run them. I’m ok. #Seattle pic.twitter.com/j8nfHmNfV9

OUTTED: Antifa lunatics keep coming after me. They’re just trying to break stuff now for the hell of it. They don’t care about women’s rights. Anyway, thought I could blend in today with @bbcicecream @psychoBunny gear. 😂Taking another break. Hoping to rejoin #RoeVsWade march. pic.twitter.com/PfTV78sYh5

HUGE THANKS: I want to thank my security guy today. An Antifa thug bear sprayed him and hit him in the head with a metal pipe. Look at the welt. But he protected me so I could do my job and show what’s happening in #Seattle. Far left/Antifa is REAL. Danger to Democracy. pic.twitter.com/VeWchWAYD0

They weren’t the only ones assaulted.
Over in apparently another part of Seattle, a young pro-life woman was pepper sprayed and shoved to the ground by black-clad left-wing extremists.
This time the assault was captured on camera.

The following couple, on the other hand, got lucky, because in their case the extremist’s pepper spray gun failed to work:

Similar riotous behavior also appeared in other cities across the nation.
Over in Phoenix, “thousands of people in support of abortion rights” tried breaking into the Arizona State Senate, prompting a security lockdown.
Arizona Senate Republicans have since labeled the altercation an “insurrection” and demanded that a Jan. 6th-like investigation be launched immediately.

Something similar almost happened back in Seattle, where “thousands” reportedly gathered outside the city’s Federal Office Building for yet another pro-abortion protest.
