Attacks Her Home
Olympia, Washington, Mayor Cheryl Selby has been an outspoken advocate for the Black Lives Matter movement. She believed that all of the protesting across the country is for the best, that is until they showed up in her neighborhood, and vandalized her home. Selby has had a change of heart and now feels these protesters are domestic terrorists. Funny how that works...
"The black-clad group eventually marched up Capitol Way and into the South Capitol neighborhood to Olympia Mayor Cheryl Selby’s house. There, the group chanted “abolish the police,” and a person spray painted her front porch and door with “BLM.” A man with a flat, metal paddle-like object who was backed up by a line of cars told the group to leave, threatening them if they didn’t.
Selby and her family were not home last night, but her neighbors began texting her when the protesters arrived at her house.
“I’m really trying to process this,” she told The Olympian over the phone Saturday. “It’s like domestic terrorism. It’s unfair."
“It hurts when you’re giving so much to your community,” she said.
This is not the first time Selby’s home has been targeted by protesters. Two years ago, during a May Day protest, protesters gathered in her neighborhood, spreading around leaflets and directing chants at her.
She feels bad for her neighbors, many of whom are families with young children who she said are now afraid that protesters will continue to come.
“People have so little grace for each other right now. We need to have more grace,” Selby said.
The group eventually headed back downtown, spray painting storefronts, street signs, lamp posts, and sidewalks."
This kind of behavior is all too common. People downplay bad things that happen to others until it happens to them and then all of a sudden they care, Mayor Selby here should keep this in mind next time she feels like speaking out in favor of a protest that has led to looting, riots, property damage, violence, and in some cases arson. Domestic terrorism is a fair assessment and she was in favor of it
