The level of disrespectful behavior that the Mayor, City Attornies and the press displayed in Seattle is unbelievable. Since when is it ok to let one person throw bricks at another’s head in the middle of a City Street. It's not. Left or right it doesn't matter, bad behavior is bad behavior and it should have consequences.
In Philly, we had newly installed Police Commissioner Outlaw (a black women recruited from Seattle) who allowed rioters to march and burn one of our most important commercial blocks ( recently revived) Walnut St off Rittenhouse Square. The cubby "Etsy Bomber" who attacked police cars with petro bombs was sadly made a hero in The Philadelphia Inquirer ( failing rag supported by NGO's) while working class people protecting Kensington and The Columbus Statue (south Philly) with bats were derided as KKK and Nazis. I have no love for Philly Cops who are rude, profane, and corrupt but the violence had nothing to do with cops but more to do with West Philly Anarchists (with a small A... remember Move? ) who blame their plight on "The System" or Racism ....... the city has been run by Blacks since Mayor Street was elected many many decades ago. FAIL
You know, I have to say that my sympathy for the plight of Seattle’s residents is tempered by the thought that they elected the people who destroyed their city. The price of progressive governance is high but they volunteered with their votes to pay it.
It’s typical of the corrupt lefties who run so many American cities that they crap all over the people who do the dirty work for them, and I don’t blame all those Seattle police officers who got fed up and quit.
Durkan was elected the 56th mayor of Seattle in 2017, becoming the city's first female mayor since the 1920s and its second openly LGBT elected mayor. She and her partner, Dana Garvey, have two sons. Garvey is the daughter of a Louisiana telecom magnate who sold his wireless telecommunications firm for $400 million.
God bless you Robert and God Bless America you only have to watch our southern border to realize everybody wants to be in America and I was thinking after I offered the ticket if Detective Young actually existed or he perhaps was a bot just out there to rile The BW community
This has been a long time coming and the police themselves are to blame. I am a 48yo white male. I am a veteran. I live in North East Ohio. I am skilled labor tradesman and have worked my whole life. I have NEVER in my life had a positive interaction with the police. Zero. And I'm not some drinking and driving misbehavor either. I've had my car broken into, had my car hit in a parking lot, you name it. Every time I have called the police it's always "sorry, we can't help you". Try and travel during a major holiday and they are out in full force pulling you over for going 5 over the limit just to extort money out of you. Pulling you over claiming you "rolled a stop sign" just to ask if they can search your car. I could go on and on and on. I do feel bad for the business owners who have suffered because of the violence directed towards them but if it were me I would stand guard at my own store with a shotgun. This still is America and we have the right to protect what's ours.
As far as there being a difference between how "the East coast and West coast" LEO is trained...Eric Garner would disagree.
We left Seattle for Georgia in 2015. In-laws left Seattle for Dallas in 2018. My SIL and her family left Seattle for Nashville in 2021. She witnessed so much of this BS. And I used to work at that Nordstrom that got destroyed one summer during college. All of it makes me so mad. A beautiful city being run by insane people and insane policies.
Is anyone seriously working on 2024? I’d love to be a part of getting a Murkowski or Manchin (yes, they both have baggage—I’m just throwing out names) or somebody with broad popular appeal AND some political seriousness…AND a chance to win. And, no, it can’t be Elion Musk (that’s kind of a joke since he’s not native-born) or some other out-of-the-blue non-politician (had enough of last one).
Thanks for this. The media and the Democrat party united in unison to promote this insanity in the summer of 2020. It was far more deadly and destructive nation wide than anything that happened on January 6th.
We have the worst of both worlds now: A Democratic Party under the thumb of woke progressives, and a Republican Party under the spell of Trump crazies. Third party, anyone?
God yes. BTW little 'ol perpetually blue Oregon has an independent candidate for governor that might actually, possibly, succeed against the progressive machine and do so without tying her wagon to the crazies. We shall see...
Yeah, I'm hoping for third party, or one party (or both) coming to their senses. Granted, latter may not be likely.
Evan McMullin is an independent running for Senate in Utah. It's uphill, but he just got backing of Democratic party on account-a they knew they'd never win on their own. WSS...

A note on Seattle's mayor, Jenny Durkan...
Durkan was elected the 56th mayor of Seattle in 2017, becoming the city's first female mayor since the 1920s and its second openly LGBT elected mayor. She and her partner, Dana Garvey, have two sons. Garvey is the daughter of a Louisiana telecom magnate who sold his wireless telecommunications firm for $400 million.
Carmen Best and Christopher Young were destroyed by the very ideology they promoted.
I hope they learn from it, but I doubt any progressive will learn from what they have done to our cities.

I think it's important to point out that none of the Scandinavian states are socialist anymore.
Thank you. Instead of a Utopia, Seattle became a Dystopia.

Socialism/Communism/Marxism always heads for the Big Stupid, like a cruise missile. And like the missile leaves destruction in its wake.
