Ubax Gardheere, a former candidate for King County Council in Washington state who threatened to blow up a school bus filled with children, was recently arrested for assaulting a parent who was picking up his kids at a local school while yelling “Black Lives Matter” and “Free Palestine.”
Bellevue Police were called to Tillicum Middle School after parents reported a tall female wearing a hijab causing a disturbance in the drop-off area. There were no officers on campus because the Bellevue School Board banned them as part of the "defund the police" movement.
A parent and her sons were holding signs advocating to stop the closure of the school when Gardheere allegedly grabbed the sign from one of the children while screaming “Free Palestine” and "Black Lives Matter.” She then walked off to confront a man who was in his car dropping off his kids for school.
Bystanders videoed Gardheere walking in front of the victim’s car holding the sign and appearing “very agitated or passionate about the cause.”
According to the victim, Gardheere shouted “Why should we save?” and “...something about ‘there are children dying over there. Your country is killing children.'”
He deduced that it was about the conflict in the Middle East and rolled down his window to tell her he understood the issue but wanted her to move from in front of his vehicle so he could drive away.
Gardheere responded by dropping the sign and pounding on the hood of the vehicle with two clenched fists. She continued to do this until the victim opened the car door to tell her to stop as he stepped out of the driver's side.
According to the police report, Gardheere rushed him, bumping the victim with her body. The victim stated he could feel her belly press up against him so he thought she was pregnant, which caused him to put up his hands in a non-aggressive stance.
However, Gardheere grabbed the collar of his jacket, pulled at him, and according to police scratched the left side of the victim’s neck.
Gardheere continued to pull and push him across the drop-off lane when finally the victim pushed her away from him. When they separated, the victim began walking back towards his vehicle but Gardheere moved towards the open driver door and tried to sit in the driver's seat.
According to the victim, he saw the fear on his daughter's face since she was sitting in the passenger seat and was concerned for her safety, so he grabbed Gardheere by her shoulders and pulled her from his vehicle. The victim stated she did not resist and took a little effort to move her from the driver's seat.
That is when he entered his vehicle, locked the doors, and called 911.
According to the victim, since he believed Gardheere was pregnant, he kept asking her what was wrong and how he could help while trying not to aggressively deal with her.
The police report stated that responding officers asked her to turn around but she refused and refused to answer any questions. She then laid on her back in the front of the vehicle and since it was an SUV most of her body was covered by the front bumper.
One of the officers asked Gardheere to get off the ground several times and she eventually shuffled her way out from the vehicle and began sitting up.
That is when she was informed she was under arrest for assault. As officers moved to handcuff her, she resisted but was restrained by officers. Once she was handcuffed, she also attempted to kick the officers.
Gardheere’s uncle Yusuf Mohammed explained that she is bipolar and has not been taking her medications. He told officers that the day before she was taken to urgent care and had a similar “agitated incident.”
When he called 911 to assist with calming her, she ran from the area but was eventually located by him and taken home.
This was not her first interaction with the police.
On Jan 12, 2010, Gardheere boarded a school bus filled with children as it was about to begin its morning route to Chinook Middle School and told the bus driver he couldn’t leave.
She was seen on the internal bus camera screaming at the kids about how she could have a bomb or a gun and they wouldn’t know.
As the children fled the bus through the emergency exits, Gardheere can be heard screaming after them that they were cowards and that she was “prepared to die.” Responding officers arrested her.
Despite this very public incident, Gardheere ran for the King County Council in 2021.
Even after the story went viral from footage obtained by the Post Millennial, local progressive elected officials still endorsed Gardheere including Democrat State Senator Rebecca Saldana, former Seattle City Council Member and activist Mike O'Brien and socialist Seattle City Council Member Tammy Morales, who advocated for looting during 2020's unrest. Morales, even after the original story regarding Ghardeere went viral, still endorsed the candidate, as did another local progressive Varisha Khan of the Redmond City Council.
Gardheere also received support from left-wing organizations such as the local SEIU and ironically, the Transit Rider’s Union, a radical public transportation activist group, that has a bus in its logo.
She also received a large amount of campaign contributions from outside her district from the district of Rep Ilhan Omar (D-MN) as well as the area’s Democrat party and local Democratic officials.
In May 2021, Gardheere posted a video from an event that was held in Seattle which she appears to have attended, lamenting the failure of the attempted genocide of Jews in the Middle East.
After the bus story went viral during the campaign, Gardheere blamed the incident on mental health problems from post-partum depression in interviews with local outlets.
At the time, the Somalian immigrant was the Equitable Development Division Director in the City of Seattle Office of Planning and Community Development earning over $130,000 a year calling herself a "bureactivist inside government."
In the position, she co-wrote a letter that referred to ultra-progressive then Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan as a "dictator" stating, "We're done being women of color bearing a disproportionate emotional labor burden in our civilization's collective reckoning with our mid-life (or is it end-of-life?) crisis. We can tell you more about all of these things, in due time. For now, we're taking some time off to reclaim our mental health.”
She claimed, "Our current economic system requires hierarchy, oppression, and extraction to operate and maintain itself. It divides people according to race, class, ableism, and gender, and often treats Black Indigenous People Of Color (BIPOC) people, people who identify as LGBTQ+, poor people, immigrants/refugees, undocumented immigrants and refugees, people living with disabilities, and the natural environment as expendable resources."
Gardeere also advocated for the radical Green New Deal claiming "Climate change and growing inequality are among the greatest threats to our nation and County."
