If You Thought 'Defund the Police' Was Insane You'll Love 'Abolish Prisons' in Seattle
PJ Media ^ | 07/26/2020 | Stacey Lennox

You would think after the insanity that was CHAZ/CHOP, Seattle might have taken a hard look at their relationship with law and order. You would be wrong.

Seattle is in King County, and the County Executive’s Office is moving ahead with plans to “abolish prisons.” A leaked email published by Christopher F. Rufo, contributing editor at City Journal, shows active plans to reduce both adult and juvenile detention and close the county jail in Seattle. The juvenile detention center would be converted to house other programs by 2025. According to Rufo, this plan will eliminate 60% of the county’s jail capacity.

Meanwhile, Seattle’s City Council has majority support—at least seven of the nine members—to slash the police department budget by 50%. Mayor Jenny Durkan has said she would veto this drastic cut, supporting Police Chief Carmen Best. Durkan has committed to cutting $76 million of the $400 million budget,” however. Oddly, the “Summer of Love” mayor may be the only bulwark against complete insanity.

Rolfe has posted more documents from the County Executive’s office. They appear to be for training or other meetings to discuss dismantling criminal justice system. The woke county leaders would probably call it “reimagining” criminal justice. Others may call it managing a descent into chaos.

The ideas In the document are based on the same horrible ideas as the City of Seattle’s new employee training. The systemic racism, white supremacy, and critical race theory that permeated training, given only to white employees, scream through these plans as well.

The premise of the entire presentation is that white people need to oppress and confine those who do not share their white culture. White culture is described in the same language used in the documents from the Institute for Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture.

Why are we allowing snot nosed punks dictate our policies? Up until this event, I was not for boycotts, but I am now. We need a list of everyone involved in this madness and show them who THEY should be bowing to. I’m serious.

I have zero doubt that that list was compiled by a self loathing WHITE most likely a woman but could be an effiminate man or a joint effort by both.

Some are completely contradictory, We’re power hoarders but hate conflicts. And what the hell does “right to comfort” mean? And we are polite, but inflict pain and suffering by being racist.

And some of our greatest attributes - respect for the individual, meritocracy, politeness, goal oriented, being objective - are deemed negative??

We need to make a list of black attributes.

“Prisons” will be replaced with “re-education camps”.

Just got to get people’s heads right, you know.

If you fail the “re-education” indoctrination training, a second facility will be set up, in which the various chemical components will be extracted from the bodies of washouts of the “re-education camps”.

Soylent Green, anyone?

GOOD IDEA! Let ALL criminals out. Prisons, Jails, halfway houses, release them from parole. No more arrests. /s

THEN, just see what happens.

I don’t care. Seattle is a LONG way from my house (2,760 miles). Maybe, just maybe, (emphasis on “maybe”) these leftists will see the light then.

Seattle has become nothing but a human junk yard.

When you no longer take out the trash (criminals) because the dump (prison) is closed, then there will be organic groups who will compost the trash.

Wait, so what happens when a white guy commits a crime, and there’s no jail to put him in? is it still white oppression, or will everyone finally be equal at that point?
