Seattle Parks and Recreation workers used construction vehicles Wednesday morning to remove a community garden that was originally planted in Cal Anderson Park spontaneously, as part of 2020’s Black Lives Matter protests.
The city cited unsafe conditions in and around the Black Lives Memorial Garden, including vandalism of park restrooms, drug use and camping. Releasing statements from several Black leaders supporting its approach, the city also vowed to “conceptualize” a new garden elsewhere at the park……..
……..There should be a section of the park dedicated to the Black Lives Matter movement, said Jim Buchanan of the community organization King County Equity Now. But that section must be protected and safe, rather than a place “for drug use and activity, and a hangout spot,” Buchanan said.

It’s kinda fitting that the BLM memorial garden was essentially just a spot for junkies to hang out. Black live don’t matter to BLM.
