preview

ShareSHOCKING video shows protesters rip down and steal an American flag flying outside a city hall in Washington state on Friday - before reportedly storming the building.&nbsp;Apparently advocating for the homeless, the protesters broke into the locked Bellingham City Hall near the coast of state, according to a KIRO-TV reporter.The mob - who had apparently gathered to protest the city’s plans to move a homeless encampment - tore down the Star Spangled Banner outside the building, the reporter .In the footage, some of the protesters appeared to step on the flag, and one of them eventually took it by one end, held it over their shoulder and walked away dragging it.&nbsp;“Oh god, that’s so disrespectful,” an unidentified woman is heard saying in the video recorded from inside a building.&nbsp;The mayor was reportedly escorted out of city hall for safety reasons.&nbsp;The Bellingham Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The US Sun on Friday night about the protest and any arrests or injuries.&nbsp;Protesters also stole a KGMI journalist’s microphone and threw a hot drink at him, according to the KIRO-TV reporter.Bellingham officials on Friday morning tried to move the temporary tent encampment to 25 feet away from city hall lawn but were met with a human and car barrier, reported.The temporary encampment, called Camp 210, includes campers living in tents outside city hall and the Bellingham Public Library since November in protest of the lack of a shelter.&nbsp;Protesters confronted journalists and a HomesNOW! official to try to stop them from filming and photographing the scene on the public property.City officials sought to make a 25-foot boundary around city hall as a protective measure against fires.The encampment included 90 to 120 people nightly, Camp 210 advocate Eve Smason-Marcus told the newspaper.She called the campers her neighbors and community members and said the city’s plans to move them is a “human rights issue.”“It is cold, it has been so stormy, and there is snow in the forecast,” Smason-Marcus said.“Bellingham claims we’re a progressive community, but with hundreds sleeping outside in the middle of winter, in the middle of a global pandemic, how are we not ashamed?”As of noon on Friday local time, the human barricade had been cleared but some protesters lingered in the area and vehicles still blocked nearby intersections.The city posted a cleanup notice on Tuesday advising campers to maintain a 25-foot distance from the building, or possibly face arrest for trespassing.&nbsp;Topics
