SEATTLE — Seattle Police are searching for a reported anarchist who tossed a bag of white powder near a busy shopping area downtown, causing the evacuation of a retail store.
Witnesses said the man drove by the North Face store at 1st Avenue and Spring Street and yelled out “consumerism” as he tossed a bag of white powder on to the sidewalk.
Seattle Fire Department’s Haz Mat team responded and shut down 1st Avenue between Madison and Spring Streets around 1 p.m. Shoppers and employees inside the North Face store were evacuated.
Investigators said that it was raining too hard and they were unable to get a good sample of the white powder to determine the contents of the powder.
No one was injured.

Wow I wasn't expecting such blatant bias in this article. Citing absolutely no proof as to who this person was.

Shameful reporting! What shoddy editorial standards you demonstrate with a headline like this! It's absolutely appalling.

Wow, you suck Q13… You're suppose to provide justifications for such extreme claims. Instead, this article is void of any such thing. Pathetic attempt at journalism.

This is an absolutely horrendous piece of writing.

Other outlets mention nothing of the suspect being an anarchist. This is some really piss poor journalism.

It is funny how the people who have a problem with this story goes under an anonymous name- I call you cowards

Or maybe we just don’t have accounts on here. I’m writing this from my phone, and I I don’t see an option to have it show my name. Oh, and you’re anonymous, too. Can I call you a coward?

I don't give a shit what the news calls him
the only people that would have a problem with the news calling him an anarchist, are anarchist
you know what anarchist?
they are those lazy slacker assholes that cant find a job cause they don't want to work
then they get mad cause they cant afford shit, they've got nothing
so they leave there parents house or the apt they share with 4 or 5 other people
because losers cant afford there own place, and life is shitting on them
then they go out and vandalize and steal from innocent people
who have nothing to do with the excuse they call a cause
do their parents know what find of piece of shit they are?
yes, the apple does not fall far from the tree.

Interesting… I’m an anarchist, I have a job, my own place, and I never steel or break things. Same can be said for most of my friends.
