Glass entrance doors and nine display windows running the entire length of the ground floor at Nordstrom’s flagship downtown store were damaged Sunday night, likely with a hammer, police said Monday. Officers reported arriving at the scene at around 9:45 p.m. “after dealing with multiple protests earlier in the evening around the south end of the city,” though the report did not say whether the vandalism was connected to the protests. In the redacted report, the larger windowpanes were valued at “somewhere between 50-70 thousand dollars apiece due to their thickness and a protective film that internally self-adheres after strikes

Seattle residents voted for Harris-Bidet in part because they wanted the rioting to stop and a return to normalcy. How's that workin' out for ya?

The left, they have done billions in damage with no consequences. The conservatives , they peacefully assemble ( as guaranteed by the 1st Amendment ) , and get blamed for the cr*p the left does. Truly bizarro world.

Aw, they are just blowing off a little steam. Those rich probably pale business people can easily afford to replace them. The “broken window” fallacy doesn’t even apply.

Nordstrom used to have this fantastic shoe return and exchange policy. You could return leather shoes at any time if they failed to meet standards like stretching, scuff marks, heal or tongue damage. It was fantastic!

FTA: “When we don’t have any form of accountability for people — and many of them that are coming from outside the city — they will continue to do that destruction, and we can’t have that,” Diaz said.
These mayors sounds like every parent who has ever blamed their child's bad behavior on getting in with "the wrong crowd". It's not our citizens, it's outsiders causing the chaos.

They were not “smashed.” They were “peacefully disassembled.”

Seriously, I wonder why they didn't do this sooner. Nordstrom is such a symbol of wealtn and (white) privilege.
Close it down, put people out of work, and maybe a few will start connecting the dots.

How much money has Nordstrom already donated to BLM? Not enough, apparently. Next time put up double pane with high pressure cyanide gas between the layers.

What gets me is when they interview an idiot who says, "Well, they've got insurance." Maybe so, but insurance money doesn't just fall out of the sky. Real people pay real money to pay for it. And at some point insurance money can run out.

Until some rascal pays the ultimate price for throwing a brick through an expensive window display this won't stop. We're nearing that time.

Notice there is not one word in the story about the race of the vandals, not one word about the mob or what they were protesting. Seattle Times would not want to offend anyone, would they.
But let a group of conservatives protest anything, and it's an "insurrection."

Did they invoke the Pelosi Doctrine and shoot the hammer wielder dead on the spot for breaking a window?

The small businesses are so screwed in Portland & Seattle. I'm sure the police would love nothing better than to vigorously apprehend these hooligans, but the local mayors and Governors are tolerating this behaviour, so if a storeowner is successful in once repelling an attack on his business, there's no assurance the cops will be on the lookout for the perps, and the store will be a target every night until the rioters burn it down eventually.

Re #17. A business the size of Nordstrom will carry very high property deductibles.. I don’t know what Nordstrom has but I would guess $10,000 or more. Not only will insurance become unaffordable and/or unavailable but all of Seattle’s downtown is liable to up stakes and move.

Always remember "People do what you let them" Stop letting them. Nobody has the fear of G-d today.
The National Guard should be on the west coast, not in DC. Oh wait. They don't want help.

Doesn't Nordstrom have cameras on the outside. If so, it should be easy to identify the demonrat perps. Even so, comrade Cuomo's no bail rule will have them back on the streets and the NY prosecutors will refuse to prosecute them. So why bother?

It's time for ALL businesses to leave Seattle. Who would want to live in such a Hell Hole? It's funny, in that, the parasites that make up BLM and ANTIFA are killing the Golden Goose. Without a tax base to support them, how're they gonna live? Get a job, I don't think so.

Why do they put up with this crap? If by some chance the perps are caught they will be let go with a slap on the wrist.
