POSTMORTEM: Earlier this week, a #Portland judge found Rose City Antifa member John Hacker Not GUILTY of felony robbery, but scolded Hacker for confronting journalist @MrAndyNgo in this manner. Bottom line, the state was unable to prove it's case beyond a reasonable doubt.
LOOKING BACK: After verdict, some spectators in courtroom were wondering why DA's office did not bring assault charges. Again, encounter happened more than three years ago at a local #Portland gym. Hacker admits he does not like Ngo's journalism.

#ANTIFA IS REAL: During cross examination, I learned a little more about John Hacker. He is clearly educated. But his ideology appears to lean FAR LEFT. Yet when the same tactics he uses(via journalism) are used against him, he does not like it. DA exposed this DOUBLE STANDARD.

OFFICIAL SITE VISIT: This afternoon, King County officials and some #Chinatown-ID leaders will be getting a personal tour of Dow Constantine's(@kcexec) HOMELESS MEGAPLEX. More protests expected. So far no MORATORIUM and the SHELTER is expected to open by end of year. #Seattle🧵👇
ROUND 3 RECAP: Monday afternoon, #Chinatown-ID rallied again. Based on number of elders who marched to the @KCCouncil chambers for public testimony, this narrative is turning into: Asian American SENIOR CITIZENS VS. Dow Constantine(@kcexec) and his HOMELESS MEGAPLEX. #Seattle
CAUGHT OFF GUARD: Members from other communities that had homeless hotels or shelters dumped into their neighborhoods by King County leaders are now starting to join the #Chinatown-ID cause. They know what it's like NOT to be consulted. #Seattle

#BREAKING:Adding insult to injury @KCCouncil says NO Cantonese language translation for 200 plus #Chinatown-ID elders expected to attend Tuesday’s council meeting to protest Dow Constantine’s (@kcexec)HOMELESS MEGAPLEX. #CID organizer says council was given nearly 2 weeks notice.
ROUND THREE: Again, vast majority of protesters on Tuesday will be 70-80 year olds who live in #Seattle’s #Chinatown-ID. They have the most to lose. Organizers say multiple coach buses will be used to transport elders to @KCCouncil chambers for public comment. Plan👇🏽 #Seattle
FACING THIS: Since early September #Chinatown-ID has fought ferociously against Dow Constantine’s(@kcexec) HOMELESS MEGAPLEX. They’re also battling SPIN from city/county officials trying to FRAME it as #CID vs. HOMELESS when in reality they’re already shouldering most of burden.

#EXCLUSIVE: They're back! RV's set up again near 7th Ave S. & S. Fidalgo St in GEORGETOWN after sweep. I've obtained surveillance video showing guy removing "ECO-blocks." Neighbors+biz owners pleading with @seattledot and @MayorofSeattle to enforce.#Seattle
RIGHT NOW: Entire street was cleared by @seattledot @SeattleSPU @MayorofSeattle a few months ago. I was there when crews moved in. I also saw aftermath when biz owners quietly moved in "ECO-blocks." Technically illegal to use. This is now a FULL BLOWN street war. #Seattle
THE DUDE: Biz owners say guy with the hat and orange shirt chained up "ECO-blocks" and dragged several to the side of the road so RV's could move back and park. @seattledot says anyone bringing in these blocks are illegal. What about moving them to the middle of road?#Seattle

REMEMBER THIS? @CMTammyMorales made this statement as #Chinatown-ID in #Seattle was trashed and looted by violent activists. Many Asian Americans have not forgotten and are feeling victimized again by this HOMELESS MEGAPLEX. They want to know: “Where’s our social justice?”
REMINDER: 2 years ago, ANTIFA/violent extremists hijacked the #BLM movement, using it as a Trojan Horse, to trash #Chinatown-ID and other parts of #Seattle. Happened under former Mayor Jenny Durkan+former Police Chief Carmen Best. Days later @CMTammyMorales justified the looting.
IS THIS FAIR? Now you know why #Chinatown-ID+many Asian Americans feel left behind/caught in middle AGAIN. Two years ago, @CMTammyMorales JUSTIFIED looting and trashing of #CID in the name of a social justice movement. Now community is being asked to shoulder HOMELESS CRISIS.

HOLDING THE LINE: Multiple protests scheduled as #Chinatown-ID wages WAR against Dow Constantine’s(@kcexec) HOMELESS MEGAPLEX. Organizers say UNIONS now backing them. But need rest of #Seattle’s support. Many Asian Americans stood w/#BlackLivesMatter activists. Will they show?
COMMON THEME: King County Executive Dow Constantine(@kcexec) is the chief architect. Look at his response and behavior so far, totally ignoring #Chinatown-ID as they beg him for a moratorium so residents can get in some community input. 👇🏽
ALWAYS PART OF GRAND MASTER PLAN: Of course, no one told #Chinatown-ID the community would become the CENTRAL HUB and basically the center of operations for #Seattle’s homeless crisis. But it’s all starting to make sense. @KC_RHA Marc Dones dismisses PUBLIC SAFETY concerns.
