Tuesday evening on Lake Union, a large protest boat bearing an inflatable Chicken Don nuzzled up to Robert Mercer's even larger Sea Owl. Ramon Dompor
The Sea Owl, a $75 million super-yacht owned by Wall Street titan Robert Mercer, has been docked in Seattle's Lake Union for over a week now. Mercer made his fortune writing code that predicts stock swings and he's used his vast wealth to put Donald Trump in the White House, back Steve Bannon's nativist political doings, and prop up the alt-right "news" site Breitbart. So, naturally, some protesters with Seattle Indivisible got in their own boat on Tuesday evening and floated over to give Mercer the business.
The Stranger's Ramon Dompor was there and shot this video:
