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

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.

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.

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.

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

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). 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.

How absolutely, crushingly sad. Utterly monstrous.

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.

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.

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