Meanwhile, Seattle's Socialist Alternative councilmember Kshama Sawant had her disorderly conduct charges dropped today; those charges stemmed from her participation in a Nov. 19, 2014 minimum wage protest at SeaTac airport.

1. The Anarchists and some of the others are total thugs. They're doing nothing but causing

harm. Whether it's to people or property, it doesn't matter because they aren't there for a cause anyway. What a bunch of d-bags.
