Clearly they need more gun control, because the past gun control only brought them this giant increase in crime. Which is proof they aren’t doing the failed policy things enough. They need to do more of the failed things in order to turn things around and get them to succeed. Sort of like how one can save a sinking ship by drilling even more holes in the hull below the waterline.

Yes. Tighten gun laws then defund police, release the few arrested with low/no bail and finally do not prosecute because they perps are “depraved ‘cause they’re deprived.”

A winning formula that has worked in Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis and of course, New York.

I worked in south Seattle for over twenty years. I graduated from a university located in Seattle. My cousin was a Heroin addict that lived in Seattle.
Seattle cops were always shit, so defunding them doesn’t make much of a difference. The big difference is Modern Democrats.
They fuk up everything. Old school Democrats could be reasoned with. Today’s Modern democrats belong in camps in Western China.Chinese are pretty good at dealing with cultists.

Send them more ammo, so they can get the stats up to 50%, for 2023.

You beat me to it! democrat voters in big cities deserve the chaos they voted for.

We simply need to resort ourselves country wide and keep all democrats in the same states while we stay in our states. This would be a modern day Treaty of Westphalia.

Being soft on crime was never a good idea.

Oregonians are not able to understand that or they do and they will be true to their evil agenda all the way down to Hell.

You do know Seattle is in Washington state right...??

Maybe you are thinking of Portland. It is as messed up as Seattle...

Eastern Oregon is ranches and farms and is conservative. The Willamette Valley is very left wing. Southern Oregon, Roseburg area, is conservative and a nice area.

That’s a lot of baby-daddies gone and children getting SSI. I think I see Seattle’s incentive. Free money.
