Christian rally organizers whose May event in Seattle was disrupted by
agitators are now suing the city and the police department, alleging
they were unlawfully discriminated against because of their religious
views.
Legal group Liberty Counsel filed a federal lawsuit on Sept. 26
against the city of Seattle, Mayor Bruce Harrell and Chief of Police
Shon Barnes on behalf of MayDay USA organizers. The complaint, filed
in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington,
claims the city violated the groups First and Fourteenth Amendment
rights.
MayDay USA, described in court filings as a nationwide religious
revival tour aimed at "turning America back to God," held events in
five major U.S. cities in May. The groups rally at Cal Anderson Park
in Seattle resulted in 23 arrests after protesters disrupted the event
and reportedly threw urine-filled water balloons at attendees.
The Seattle Police Department said it witnessed "multiple people
inside one group throw items at the opposing group" and, while
arresting individuals, officers were assaulted by others, leading to
injuries requiring treatment.
SEATTLE MAYOR ACCUSED OF LYING AFTER BLAMING CHRISTIAN RALLY FOR PARK
VIOLENCE
According to the lawsuit, the organizers initially requested a permit
to hold the event on Pike Street, a popular corridor frequently used
for demonstrations. The city denied the request, saying Pike Street
was too small to safely host the proposed event and that similar
events had sparked complaints from local businesses.

Interesting how they always allowed protests there until Christians
wanted to use that spot.
