Seattle council member to fight crime with Ping-Pong balls
My Northwest ^ | 6/22/18 | JASON RANTZ

The area surrounding the King County Courthouse in downtown Seattle is dangerous. Crime is rampant. Homelessness is out of control.

It’s not safe to visit as a juror. It’s not safe to work in the buildings nearby. You can’t even walk around the neighborhood without olfactory offenses, human waste everywhere.

The solution? Ping-Pong!

Just a guess - this particular game will suck during the winter months.

“and food trucks come to the area.”

Sure. Park your $150,000 food truck in a pile of human excrement. That’ll attract customers.

Nine month out of the year it’s either wet, rainy, cold or all three. Ping-pong balls, and food trucks, oh my. Seattle is a liberal third world country pest hole.

Well, at high enough velocity, I guess even a ping-pong ball could do some damage....

Although at 41 grains weight and such a low sectional density you would probably have to get it up to a velocity that would turn it into plasma to do any good against a criminal.

If I lived in Seattle I would take my morning constitution on the steps of city hall every day. I would start a movement (ha ha) to get everyone else to do the same.
