A heavily edited video has emerged showing selected scenes of the weekend’s vandalism in Pike/Pine and on Broadway.

A comment from poster “some bitch” on our report identifying the one person arrested in the weekend melee linked to the video subtitled “A queer riot against assimilation, capitalism, and police violence. June 25th 2011.”

The video shows a crowd gathering near the 12th/Union/Madison confluence, some attempts at dancing and then the start of the march before cutting to scenes of the broken window at the Maserati and Ferrari of Seattle dealership on 12th Ave. There are also scenes showing lit objects being thrown that appear to be smoke bombs plus attacks on police cars and still-photo aftermath shots of the damage. Near the 3-1/2 minute mark, an SPD officer can be seen bolting toward two people who appear to be dragging a barrier into the middle of Broadway.

While it is mostly an edited selection of highlights, you’ll be able to watch many scenes and draw your own conclusions. For one, the crowd remained robust well onto the Broadway portion of the march despite the violence and damage that had already occurred as the group made its way through Pike/Pine. You can also get a sense of how large the crowd was at its peak as it squeezed down E Pike. On the other hand, it’s clear the video’s producer sought to maximize the damage the incident can take credit for with exaggerated counts of SPD cruiser damage and a boast that “countless” ATMs were destroyed.

We have also posted the front and back of a flyer some in the crowd were distributing. It’s been posted about recently around the Web including here in Seattle via Slog but we hadn’t yet included it in our coverage. “They tell us to celebrate Pride because of how much progress we’ve made towards equality,” the flyer’s flipside reads. “We reject the idea that marriage equality or military service is progress, and we reject the goal of equality. We want an end to the system that keeps so many of us in poverty, facing violence every day. We will not fight for them; we will not fuck like them. And we certainly won’t buy into a sanitized, corporate version of Pride.”

It will be interesting to see how many people show up the next time Queers Fucking Queers organizes a dance party.
