Historic St. John’s Church vandalised in Seattle
The historic St. John's Episcopal Church in Washington D.C. was vandalised on Monday night as protesters attempted to set up a "Black House Autonomous Zone" while a similar area in Seattle is set to be gradually dismantled.
Amid ongoing demonstrations around the country that have involved the desecration of monuments and the toppling of statues of historical figures in major cities, the pillars of St. John’s Church were spray-painted by protesters to display the letters “BHAZ,” video footage shows.
Monday night’s church vandalism occurred alongside an unsuccessful attempt at tearing down a statue of Andrew Jackson in Lafayette Park. Metropolitan Police officers intervened before it could be toppled. Police subsequently established a perimeter around the demonstrators at the historic church.
“There will never be an ‘Autonomous Zone’ in Washington, D.C., as long as I’m your President. If they try, they will be met with serious force!” Trump tweeted on Tuesday morning. Twitter subsequently labelled the tweet to be a violation of its user’s rules. He also warned that vandalising monuments on federal property is a federal crime.
