QuoteSeattle's crime surge spreads statewide thanks to Democrats' progressive policies

Thanks to a Democratic legislature that codified the radical defund police proposals into laws, plus light-on-crime judges, the crime surge hitting Seattle is spreading across the state. And there is no sign that the crime explosion will slow; in fact, it's getting worse.

Seattle has averaged more than one homicide a week so far this year. Gun violence has nearly doubled, with 95% more shots fired and a 171% increase in gunshot victims compared to last year. Drug dealing is rampant, homeless shoplifters are destroying local businesses, and random, brutal assaults are all too common.

In the last two years I've all but stopped hanging out in Seattle all together.

Seattle has turned in to a crap hole.

A friend of mine tried to take some clothes back to a store in downtown Seattle a few weeks back. When he got there they wouldn't let him in and told him that you can't come in to the store unless you make an appointment. The store had been robbed so many times that they won't allow walk in customers anymore.

All part of the plan? Now they can go after guns.

Wasn't it that great Constitutional Professor that once said "Elections have consequences"

The rampant crime will continue until the idiot voters can put 2 and 2 together.

Lets give drug addicts needles. What could possibly go wrong? Let's give drug addicts a place to get high while being supervised by medical professionals. What could possibly go wrong? Let's not prosecute crime. What could possibly go wrong? Let's soften the blow of people's poor life choices. What could possibly go wrong? Let's let criminals completely take over a city and prohibit law enforcement from intervening. What. Could. Possibly. Go. Wrong.

I have no compassion for people that create their own mess and refuse to do what is necessary to clean it up. Elections have consequences.

The Seattle voters are literally so dumb that they believe that their policy isn't working because they aren't doing enough of it.

They have a new catch phrase for people who want to prosecute shoplifters and thieves. Even when some of those thieves are robbing people in the street. If you want them prosecuted then you support "punishing poverty".

That term gets thrown around a lot during local debates.

And all the Mass shootings are in Chicago??

Go Figure.

Used to be a bunch"a good movies about this.

Maybe you should organize a "Charles Bronson" "Clint Eastwood " Marathon movie event.

Maybe a neighborhood party event??

Personally I am thinking of starting a small event of recording these idiots as they speak. not in an especial way.
But free to broadcast their stupidity.

What I believe is that not enough people are informed to these Idiots propositions.

In reality as I see them speak... I am Uniquely informed, as others may be.

They had a shooting in Sacramento over the weekend
a street party, turned into a street fight which ended up with three clowns spraying bullets into a crowd.
the body count was 6 dead, 13 wounded.
the governor promises more tough gun laws are on the way, in spite of the fact that all three shooters
were convicted felons using illegal or stolen guns.
One of the shooters had just been granted early release after serving 4 years of a 10 years sentence for
felony assault and felon in procession of an illegal firearm.
He was released in late February. 5 weeks later he's back in jail, charged with 6 murders and 13 attempted
murders

Wow. That just sucks for everyone else. That stuff bleeds into the outlying areas too.

My best freind since childhood is a Riverside County Sheriff. Every once in a while he'll nab some criminal and the guy is like "I'll be out faster than you can write the cite...". My friend just says "You must not know how to read, you're in RIVERSIDE COUNTY, not LA County...

You're not going anywhere.

". The look on the face must be priceless.

I'm going on a ride along with him next month. I hope I get to see a few of those.
