Seattle City Councilwoman Lisa Herbold voted to defund the police and then called these same police to report a misdemeanor crime she basically wants to see legalized.
According to local media, this left-wing lunatic called the police last week after a man reportedly threw a rock at her living room window.
She told the police (the same police she voted to defund) that “she was on the west side of the living room near the kitchen when she heard a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot and dove into the kitchen for cover.”
All good, except…
Herbold has proposed a bill that would give the man who allegedly hurled this rock what amounts to a free pass from prosecution, a bill that would effectively legalize the crime committed against her.
The model on which Herbold’s proposal is based would tell….
….prosecutors to consider dismissing charges against a suspect “experiencing symptoms of a behavioral health disorder” while they committed the crime. What is considered a behavioral health disorder? Well, a lot, as defined by RCW 71.05.020:
‘Mental disorder’ means any organic, mental, or emotional impairment which has substantial adverse effects on a person’s cognitive or volitional function.
In other words, you could claim you experienced symptoms of anxiety during the crime. But how could the prosecution prove otherwise? Scott Lindsay, former public safety adviser to Mayor Ed Murray, noted in a white paper that “there is no practical way for a prosecutor to disprove a defendant’s claim that they are experiencing symptoms of a mental disorder.”
In other words, according to Herbold’s own proposal, if caught, all the alleged rock-hurler would have to do is claim that, at the time of the incident, he was suffering from emotional stress over his economic situation,...

I told an acquaintance that “once the people see how stupid and self-harming all these policies are, people will vote to reject it.”
My acquaintance assured me that people will put up with a lot of abuse that they voted for because they are sure it hasn’t been correctly implemented or had enough time to work.
To any who think that it couldn’t really be this bad in Seattle (or Portland, or Atlanta, or ...)- my message is it’s way worse.
“she was on the west side of the living room near the kitchen when she heard a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot and dove into the kitchen for cover.” >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
MAtbe it will begin to happen all over the state.
Love to see the entire swamp dive for cover.
I fear your acquaintance may be right.

As Firehat would say, she’s a real Bum Ditch.

Social justice boomerang.Odds on her waking up to her foolishness or doubling down?
Why are so many of these nut-cases women? We have a huge group of them in my State too - pushing for the exact same things.
Are these people so dense they can’t discern what second order effects will occur?
this shows a way forward with these elected fools: simply have people constantly throwing rocks at their houses, automobiles, places of business, knocking grocery bags out of their hands, and million other similar actions, and then getting off scot-free ... see how long their nonsense lasts then when they’re personally on the receiving end of their own insanity ..,
The only answer is to outlaw rocks.
Why doesn’t she just call for some common sense rock control?
