A number of videos surfacing on social media show a street preacher being assaulted in what has come to be labeled Seattle’s “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone,” and in one short video clip appears to show the preacher being dragged unconscious through the street.
Matthew Wiersema, who has been identified as the person in the various video clips, can be seen being surrounded by a number of people while preaching on one of the streets closed by the activists, assaulted, and at one point kissed against his will on the face.
The “autonomous zone,” which has been taken over by Antifi and BLM activists and supporters, has been illegally blocked off by those who want to do away with police, and who are now encamped in the six block area. The area includes Seattle Police Department’s burned out East Precinct.
According to Wiersema’s Facebook account, he is from Aurora, Illinois, and various posts on his page show that he traveled to Seattle in order to confront those in the “autonomous zone” by preaching.
In a subsequent video posted online, which is specifically directed to President Trump, Wiersema stated that he supports the president “100 percent” and called Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan a “complete failure.” He asked the commander-in-chief to take back the city.
“This place needs to be shut down immediately,” Wiersema asserted. “We need our country back.”
So much for Freedom of Religion in CHAZ. They beat this Christian street preacher down so bad that they had to drag him out of their “Territory”. @RealDonaldTrump we both know @MayorJenny doesn’t care and won’t do anything about this unlawful occupation.pic.twitter.com/tlpEzMXuxE
