A street preacher who entered the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone established by Antifa and Black Lives Matter activists in Seattle was attacked by Antifa thugs on Saturday who choked, sexually assaulted and pinned him to the ground. A Black Lives Matter activist intervened on behalf of the preacher.
One video shows the preacher surrounded by Antifa goons with a self-proclaimed gay man holding him in a bear hug who repeatedly kissed the preacher against his will and choked him at one point.
Another video shows the preacher pinned to the ground and being choked. The preacher was eventually set free.
Video clips of the attack were posted to Twitter by the Blaze’s Elijah Schaffer.

Once the occupiers realized they (a group of men)
were choking a man facedown on the street
They quickly disbursed
Definitely unhinged but this is what community policing looks like

I definitely understand that many street preachers can be offensive
Openly saying things that upset people
Especially in a big liberal city
But after 11 minutes this young man stepped in and reminded people they aren’t the police
Different styles of leadership for sure pic.twitter.com/PwHDspuWhm
