Video of King County Council candidate threatening to blow up school bus in 2010

[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] Footage exclusively obtained by The Post Millennial shows progressive candidate for King County Council Ubax Gardheere
| ...Muslim Somali-American social justice warrior-turned-politician who was sent to a mental hospital as the result of this episode... |
threatening school children while claiming she may have a bomb or a gun and then calling them "cowards" as they flee from her.
Ubax Gardheere boarded the Highline School District bus on Jan. 12, 2010 as it was about to begin its morning route to Chinook Middle School. Gardheere can be seen walking on to the school bus filled with children. She tells the bus driver not to drive because "it's a matter of national security." She tells him the "bus is not leaving." The driver then calls the police.
When the driver asks her if something happened to one of the kids, she says "if something happens it's going to happen to you."
Gardheere then tells school children she is wearing loose clothing and she might have a bomb or a gun. "Someone better get here real quick," the bus driver exclaims. A heroic officer arrives and arrests her. Finally, as seen from the back of the bus, children flee out the back of the bus. Gardheere can be heard calling them "cowards" over and over again.
Deputy Prosecutor Gretchen Holmgren said students were afraid for their safety and as students fled through the rear emergency exit of the bus, Gardheere began screaming that they were "cowards" for abandoning their classmates.
Holmgren wrote the court, "While speaking with the middle school students, the defendant stated that she might have a bomb and might have a gun. When students attempted to escape out the back of the bus, she called them cowards and told them they would be responsible if something happened to their classmates. Several students believed she had a weapon of some kind and many feared for their lives."
According to a detective with the King County, Gardheere told the arresting officer she was "prepared to die." However,
a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package...
no weapons were found in her possession. She eventually pled the felony charges down to a gross misdemeanor before trial.
This behavior has not dampened her popularity within the Democratic party. Democrat State Senator Rebecca Saldana said in her endorsement of Gardheere, "I will follow Ubax anywhere." Former radical Seattle City Council Member and activist Mike O'Brien called Gardheere "An amazing leader." It is unclear if Saladana or O'Brien were aware of Gardheere's bomb threats against children on a school bus when they gave their endorsements.
