May Day protest in Seattle

January 3, 2013, 11:23 am


A Northeast Portland bank was vandalized early this morning by anarchist sympathizers.  Somebody used a rock to smash out front windows at the Wells Fargo on MLK near Jessup.  An ATM was also damaged.

An e-mail to the media claims responsibility.  They say it's in retaliation to a federal investigation of those who were arrested for rioting at last year's May Day protests in Seattle, and in support of three anarchist members who are refusing to cooperate with a grand jury.  They're being held on federal detention in Washington.

This is the second time in seven months that this branch has been vandalized.
