Tacoma is situated between Seattle and Portland. Antifa from both cities may converge here as a result of these two cases.
It’s not just about Tacoma. It’s about Lakewood specifically. Last year we were visiting and, online, got a motel room there. It is the only time in my life that a quick look around the neighborhood, and the people in the motel itself, caused me to cancel, after I’d signed in.
Lakewood is tacoma’s version of the dangerous neighborhoods in LA, Chicago, et al. Heck, when my son, who lives in tacoma, found out where our hotel was, he said something like, “Lakewood? Seriously, dad? Don’t you guys ever watch ‘Cops’?”
So I’m sure stuff like this goes on all the time there and the cops are on a hair trigger as it is. Who wouldn’t be?
