Now you know why Seattle is the PC asshole of the west coast, with Portland, Oregon and much of California running a close second.

Security officers can intervene under a “good samaritan” action, and they can be given limited police powers to intervene and detain criminal suspects for the local/Metro police.

Obviously, Seattle’s leftist mindset is “don’t get involved” ala Kitty Genovese (the Brooklyn case).

Time to fire the company and hire one that has real security officers who have real training and real guns.

All the security officers in my building are former police officers and military policemen. However, they are limited by either contract or DC law from intervening right outside the door (a Senator’s wife’s car was hijacked there a few weeks ago and there have been several purse snatchings within a few feet of our security officers). Boy do I feel safe. A few might come to my aid outside of their limited powers since they know that my son is a cop. However, Marxist Maryland State troopers will buddyfu*k you even if you are an out-of-state cop. I’ve seen this first hand.

DC believes that thieves have all the rights and the security officers have none. Believe me, I know this field very well and it sucks.

When Democrats/marxists/cowards/liberals run a city, they run it into the ground and the citizen suffers, not the criminals.

King county sheriffs and other security personnel could not be bothered with protecting riders on the transit system. They were still busy looking for more trays of uncounted ballots in Gregoire’s run against Rossi a few years ago. There are bound to be a few more hiding behind filing cabinets in Seattle.

America is losing it’s civilization.

Observe and report used to be plenty good enough because no one was ever attacked like that in public.

__________________

I was born in Seattle and I've lived here most of my life.  When my parents moved here in 1955, Seattle's Smith Tower was still the tallest building west of the Mississippi river.  I've watched the city of my birth spiral down into an ugly, turgid abyss with afterburners ablaze.

My father, whose first job here was with Volkswagen, told me that when the VW Beetle was first introduced here they were initially so rare that the drivers would wave at each other as they passed by other Beetles on the road.  It used to be a pretty friendly place here, long ago.

Now, most people in the main city core are passionate Dems and not only vote for hard-Left politicians without fail but their solid population insures that the policies of the Left are inflicted upon the far more sane and reasonable Eastern Washington residents as well.  Seattle seems hell-bent upon emulating San Francisco in the worst ways only, and it breaks my heart.  I would be long gone if I did not have responsibilities which keep me here.

Cement-headed clock-punchers prefer to rely on the 'but my contract forbids it' excuse, when the truth is that they simply have no spine and no heart and the law would have protected them if they had a pair.

The video certainly suggests that, doesn't it?  Of course I don't know how many of us there are, but I know that there are still somehere who would have stepped up to defend this girl.  I've read about the Kitty Genovese case and I feel sorry for what I hope are the kind, honorable and well-meaning majority in New York who have been unfairly tarred for decades by this terrible incident.

***********************

Time to fire the company and hire one that has real security officers who have real training and real guns.

_________________________

Absolutely correct of course, but we'll never be told how many 'security' officers in other venues are of a similar do-nothing mindset.  That being the case, this matter serves as a reminder to all law-abiding citizens to NEVER leave home unarmed. 

**************************

All the security officers in my building are former police officers and military policemen. However, they are limited by either contract or DC law from intervening right outside the door (a Senator’s wife’s car was hijacked there a few weeks ago and there have been several purse snatchings within a few feet of our security officers).

How absolutely, crushingly sad. Utterly monstrous.

Thank you as well as to others in law enforcement who continue to do the job despite being treated so abysmally by society as well as your employers.  Without you, the entire nation would be ablaze.

animals...

And to think they want all cultures living in harmony next to one another... There will never be harmony until some realize they are not civilized.

On a side note, why do women in the media, or on camera, find it necessary to talk with their hands? I’m sure they think it makes them look more dramatic, but it actually makes them look quite unintelligent... Reminds me of a two-bit politician...

From the broad on mythbusters, to anyone in the media... The flailing hands start, I turn the channel and don’t give em another second of my time or thought...

Okay, rant over. Just bugged me this morning more than most I guess...

just wondering if they are union workers - seems like there are a whole bunch of ‘by-stander’ events lately. a guy dies in the hospital and workers walk around him, a woman dies in a fast food restaurant and EMT’s won’t help because they are on lunch. So I’m just wondering if these are all union employees. If they are, it would make a nice campaign poster.

Not my job meets Seattle Transit.

That said, the attacking girl needs to be put away for the viciousness of her attack. There is no question that the attack was not meant to harm, but to kill.

She should be charged with attempted murder.

But the libs can;t wrap their head around that. Even the woman witness says “The guards should do......pause.....something!” How about, the guards should have intervened just to prevent a murder.

Amazingly, the victim will be just fine. Guess there wasn’t much in that head anyway. Can’t imagine there isn’t long term damage of some kind going on there.

Why were the county cops investigating? What happened to SPD?
By the way, SPD used to ride the buses as an OT detail.
