Welcome to the Third World.

It costs money to bust lowlifes.

Police time is much better spent hiding in the bushes giving radar tickets to BMWs

Watch ‘Gangs of New York’, and you see that early police and fire departments in NYC were private subscription affairs. Seattle residents are reinventing it.

[TigerClaws]

Perhaps Germans should do this.

[Noumenon]

Well, well, well. Imagine that.

[VerySadAmerican]

Unfortunately private security has no authority. All they can do is call the cops. I know because my wife called the security company that patrols our neighborhood and was told they’d contact the police.

In Houston the more wealthy neighborhoods hire legitimate deputy sheriffs to patrol the areas. They’re in county owned cars and wear county sheriff uniforms but are paid by the neighborhoods.

A liberal utopia ...puke.

I’ll bet Angie and her friends voted for blatant lawlessness in 2012
when they pulled the lever to re-elect Ubama.

[seowulf]

I wonder of all that lawlessness has anything to do with that consent decree that was forced on Seattle police by the Justice Department about discriminatory enforcement.

[umgud]

I live in a lily white, well armed community without adjacent crime-ridden areas.

[Sicon]

Can't help but wonder if we're on a path back to feudalism...

Thanks, liberals.

Seattle has gone out of its way to provide for the homeless. A firehouse in the Lake City area was shut down and renovated for homes for vagrants. Other things of similar nature have happened: apts, constant food handouts, etc. Some parts of town are worse, but it's a growing problem everywhere. The Seattle PD won't do anything. But hey, this is the same place with the 15 dollar minimum wage, streets cut down to provide bike lanes, and a billion-dollar drill that is currently idle.

[Baynative]

But wait; liberals in Seattle hate cops. I don’t get it.

[MarMema]

Look. It’s a new apex predator.

[Kickass Conservative]

Utopia, much like Lesbianism, isn’t anything like it’s portrayed in the Movies.

That’s the original plan to destroy property rights. Didn’t go over well so maybe dedicating parking lots to homeless will work instead.

[Moonman62]

This is how protection rackets get started.

People will prefer organized crime.

[Busko]

As the Cesspool grows. The true “global warming” will be this kind of crap. Keep giving to the trash and non productives, then there will be no place to have a decent way of living.

[Tax-chick]

Ping!

[bkopto]

So what are these idiots’ taxes going toward? Public employee pensions? Maybe these folks will be repairing their own potholes in tbe not too distant future.
