Woman attacked by strangers on doorstep of her Seattle home (thinks city policies are a key factor)
KOMO News ^ | 6/16/2018 | Mary Pittman

SEATTLE - A Seattle woman is speaking out after she was attacked at her doorstep by strangers she tried to get out of her yard.

The attack happened a couple weeks ago, at the woman's home off Aurora Avenue, near Green Lake. But, she wanted to share her story after KOMO reported on an Arizona family who was attacked by a homeless man near the Space Needle.

"I said, 'you need to get off this property, this is private property,'" said the woman, who KOMO is not naming for her safety.

She said it was broad daylight, when two strangers showed up in her yard and said they were trying to break in to a different home nearby.

After yelling at them to leave, she was attacked by one of them.

"She ran back up the street, ran up the stairs here, grabbed my hair, and pulled me down the stairs head first into the cement," said the woman.

She was left with a fractured nose, fractured knee, sprained wrist and said she was left unconscious on her front lawn.

The attackers are still at large.

Seattle Police can't confirm if the attackers are homeless, but the woman and her neighbors said they find needles and people in their yards almost daily. She thinks city policies are a key factor in what her neighborhood is going through.

"I'm like, 'oh my God, these people.' They think that everything is for them," she said.

Which Seattle would immediately classify as a terrorist group.

I don’t tell people to get off my property unless I am armed.

She was just trying to get some jabbering goofs off her lawn. Will the neighbors bring tons of food now?

I saw a truck with West Virginia plates stopped at the beginning my driveway and knew it meant one thing: Gypsies.
I loaded the shot gun and went out on the deck which is 10 feet up, keeping the shotgun hidden. They came around to the front and announced they were sealing driveways in the neighborhood and had some sealant leftover. It was my lucky day. They even mentioned a resident’s name (who happened to have their name on the mailbox). I reminded them that they passed a No Solicitation sign and a Residents and Guests only sign. I then invited them to leave before the Sheriff arrived.

So you didn’t want new sealer ( used motor oil ) poured on your driveway?

The funny thing was that they went next door, which has a gravel driveway. I guess they thought it would become asphalt at some point. The Deputy stopped them at the next house.

It's all the fault of Amazon having success.

Ha ha, I probably shouldn't laugh but this is what happens when you dedicate parking lots to the homeless and don't care about the safety of your tax-paying citizens.

Left 4 years ago, and watching it all fall in on itself from northern Michigan.

Seattle is a sh!thole and becoming worse with the second highest "homeless" population on the Worst Coast (behind LA).

One of the main city center street intersections, 2d and Pine, is called 2d and Crime by the homeless

Tourists, for your safety's sake - STAY AWAY!

...and to think that the majority of voters there are LIB idiots who keep voting “progressive” losers into positions of authority who then make “progressive” policy. I laugh at their lunacy and idiocy. They deserve what they get.
Hahahaha.

I don’t have any sorry’s to give anyone in Seattle, SF, LA or anywhere that voted in the ‘Utopia’ that is socialism. They voted for it let them live in it! My worry is that now they learned how dangerous it is they will run to other cities only to turnaround and vote in their ‘Utopia’ there, becuase this time it will be different.

In Seattle?

The last time I checked Seattle was in Washington, an open carry state.

Forbes currently has Seattle ranked as USA’s 3rd most liberal city behind only SF and DC.

https://www.forbes.com/pictures/gfii45img/most-liberal-no-3/#2775ccf17dad

I mean, NYC, Philly, Baltmore, Chicago, Detroit... They are all LESS liberal than Seattle. These have been liberal bastions forever, and commie Seattle has blown right past them in a couple of decades.

Yet another reason to hate Microsoft.

And it will come. Vigilantes rise up and take action because the Powers That Be are too corrupt to protect the majority of peaceful and decent citizens.

The natives do get restless, and sometime, sooner or later, they will rise up in San Fran, Seattle, and Portland whose streets of full of shit and their gutters run with urine.

People will get shot and that will spread.

Meanwhile, GOOD news from nearby Tumwater, WA. THREE good samaritans (two armed) went after a carjacker while he was committing the crime. One of the good samaritans shot the carjacker dead on the spot.
