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!

Seattle City Councilmember Sally Bagshaw says that she’d like to bring a host of amenities to the area as an “inclusive” way to make the area safer. She’d like to see Ping-Pong tables, seating, and food trucks come to the area.

Are these ping pong balls full of unicorn farts? Just asking.

Midnight basketball. They know their political base is made up of morons. The more ridiculous it is, the better it sells.

Those tables will make nice beds, or homes with a blanket draped over them.

Why is it Liberals can’t think their way out of a paper bag?

Take Starbucks for example... They really thought those ideas intended to help the homeless were going to fly without any problems.

These people are so feeble minded, you’d almost wish to have them watched to be sure they don’t hurt themselves.

These are high stakes games Lefties. Leave the brainstorming to someone with an IQ over 90,... please.

You would prefer “sustainable” instead?

Newly proposed city slogan, according to the Seattle Tourism Board:

“Nothing says Seattle vacation like public defecation!”

Yeah, Quasar really knew how to build 'em. Look how vivid the colors still appear!

And exactly what will all these rapscallion defecatorians of the public byways going to pay the food truck operators with? Is the intellectually challenged but obviously over compensated public representative going to give these layabouts food stamps to use? And what will she do once they have torn apart all these no doubt expensive ping pong tables provided by some liberal donor at a suitably high profit, to make half assed shacks?
