Not what I said. But the legal regime they’ve enforced for decades is structurally racist. Sorry.
Oh, they want cake and be able to eat it. Of course. Like guns are ok if it suits them. Assaulting people is ok if its them and not police.
No, it wasn’t. I said, if they wanted to, they could always “beg the racist warrior cops” to come back. That is not a qualitative statement about every single policeman in the world. Not sure why we still have to act like police officers are the real victims here, but that’s not what it meant.
Yeah it would suck to live there and yes I think it’s mishandled. It’s just prolonging the negative part of the protests. Not sure what the end game is here for the mayor.
It is a qualitative statement for the Seattle police, and by extension why wouldn't it be every other department. What makes Seattle so much different? Your backup alarm is beeping.
My brother lives there. Weird how he disagrees so strongly.
It is a few hundred during the day, and as my brother described it - becomes hundreds more at night.
I may have over stepped in my comment as I personally don't know of any businesses closed in Chaz. I can't imagine much open, but don't really know.
My cousin owns a house there on Mercer.. I think she said she is east of it.
Thanks. I live pretty near here and am honestly not too sure myself.
Cool. I'm in the area. Fairly close to your bro. You are right on Mercer, it's an Island east and south of this CHAZ thing. Very nice area and very isolated from downtown. Super nice area (as is Laurelhurst/Windermere).
Yea he went down to see it... certainly he described the same regarding not noticing it otherwise. But once there he apparently saw people being complete morons.
Went to college in Spokane(Gonzaga) so very familiar with Seattle as we used to drive over on weekends & party. was there two years ago for a wedding & surprised at the mind numbing traffic jams & lots of garbage & litter along roadsides.
Traffic is bad, too many lakes, too many people, not enough room. Not sure which freeway you were on but homeless set up camp along the freeways and aren't the tidiest. I'm guessing that's what you were seeing.
Well, there was at least one that was set on fire and the fire co couldn’t come because they had no police escort so I assume at least that one
That was auto shop company I believe. Think they were closed at the time when someone broke in because it was night time.
I think the place is open.

The business was not set on fire.
Seriously?
I don't think there is any unified message out of this thing which is the problem.Manster said:
I saw a list of demands floating in this thread I think......so what ur saying is they lack unified leadership? After an emotional takeover of part of a liberal city? No way!!
Yes. That would be my main issue with this. I don't see the endgame from either side. It impacts my life in zero way though and I live relatively close this area.
Yet. Their demands have to do with the whole city, not just their little block party.
I'll let them sort this out as they don't mess with me and I don't mess with them. There is some stuff I would like to see different.

You wont have to use any guesses if he could have been saved if police and fire rescue were allowed to respond. You hope it's someone on the extreme right because the extreme left are already complicit.
