“I believe in freedom of speech and freedom to say what we think, and we care about in this life, but I don’t think that warrants moving in on someone else’s property,” Joan Archer, owner of Aria Studio Gallery, told Fox 13 Seattle.
Archer added that someone wrote “End the occupation” on her business window.
FOX 13 News was able to secure surveillance video from another business owner which shows about five people, dressed in all black, walking down the street around 2 a.m.
