Basically took apart down town. Bubba came to town. We could see Air Force 1 land at Boeing field from our Rainier Beach mansion on the hill

I was a sophomore at the University of OREGON and could not be bothered with anarchists in Seattle….but I vaguely remember it being on the news.

Too much time spent chasing tail and ripping gin and tonics at Taylor’s to pay attention, I ‘spose….

A lot of the anarchists were from the Eugene chapter

Antifa is now pro globalization and pro Wall Street. What a time to be alive.

My dad asked me to drive to the Greyhound station to pick up my aunt who was arriving from Vancouver BC. As I sat waiting, a bus pulled in from Eugene… and all these green-haired freaks started piling out. Some were dressed like comic book characters, etc. I was like WTF is going on here?

I was still living with my parents and awaiting on UW acceptance during c.c. I went up to Capitol Hill to see what all the ruckus was about. Here was a case in which the left wing and right wing populists Dazzler loathes were united. Bill supported dirty hippies engaging in Occupy Wall Street 12 years later. Zero regrets.

Occupy Wall Street is when all this definetly flipped. I was living in Ballard at that time and there were pro Ron Paul people on street corners waving signs everyday it seemed like. They probably got called racist or something and the rest is history.
