Some 100 people staged a peaceful protest outside the Washington State Capitol in Olympia today in opposition to public access being closed off to the building. The protesters citing Washington's State Constitution which states that the public must be allowed to attend legislative meetings.
Two people arrested today one man said by police to have been involved in a protest last week. The other a woman who was the driver of an RV that blocked a roadway.
"You'all didn't show up in Seattle"
is shouted at the beginning of this video that shows the massive police and military presence with a 7 foot fence erected outside the State Capitol.
Activist Kelli Stewart in the video noting that the police and military aligned themselves today with unconstitutional action and are on the side of the coronavirus tyranny in Washington state. COVID-19 used as a reason to exclude the public from being present for legislative meetings in the Capitol.

"the atmosphere has darkened considerably...I've been accused for instance of stirring up hatred against NHS (National Health Service) workers...accused of having blood on my hands...this very strange thing has been happening with Twitter followers...over the past few days just before the weekend my number of followers began to fall..."

When anti-mask mandate protesters massed in Boise, Idaho last month and three of them showed up at the home of a government official to protest an unusual event occurred almost in tandem with it. The defacement of a memorial to Holocaust victim Anne Frank in a local park.
This led to denunciation of the anti-coronavirus restriction protesters by the Republican Party of Idaho and virtually all top GOP elected officials in the state and the linkage of their actions to "hate".
On the weekend before the anti-coronavirus restriction protesters were expected at the State Capitol in downtown Boise "Love" posters including a picture of Anne Frank were posted on the streets nearby...KTVB BOISE
