Seattle's soft-on-crime mayor is under the spotlight for her crime policies after two teenagers were shot dead outside a PreK-8 school in broad daylight.

Residents slammed Mayor Katie Wilson for failing to address spiraling youth crime in the Washington city after she issued condolences to the families of the students.

The two boys, who have not been named, were fatally gunned down at a bus stop beside South Shore PreK-8 school around 4pm on Friday in front of horrified children and teens.

There is way more to this story than what was reported.

Probably.

While kids are often killed by mistake in drivebys this seems to have been more a hit.

Although who knows if the teens killed were actually the targets.

Probably.

Most people in Seattle are libtards and want more gun control. And kids like any opportunity to get out of school.

'Deputy Mayor Surratt and our partners Council President Hollingsworth, Councilmembers Lin and Foster, SPS Superintendent Fred Podesta, and School Board Director Jen LaVallee are on the ground doing what they can to respond to the situation. This community deserves justice.'

'We deserve safety. Start there,' one person replied.

'Which community are you talking about?' another person hit back at Wilson.

'All of the residents of Seattle deserve justice. Lock up the criminals. No more coddling. Do your job and keep us safe.'

Enough dumb*ss Seattle-ites fell for her schtick and now all have to live with her deadly ideology and incompetence.

I don’t understand why this woman has gotten a pass for so long. People have been concentrating on Minnesota and NYC, and not this commie! Why not?

The families will enter the ghetto lottery and win big money from Seattle

Seattle CHOP verdict: City must pay $30.5 million to family of slain teen

After deliberating for 12 days, a King County jury found the city of Seattle negligent on Thursday in its emergency response to the 2020 fatal shooting of a teenager at the Capitol Hill Organized Protest, or CHOP.

The jury awarded about $4 million to the estate of Antonio Mays Jr. and about $26 million to Antonio Mays Sr., the teen’s father.

Jurors answered “yes” to two questions the court posed: whether the city was negligent in its response to the shooting and, if so, whether the negligence caused Antonio Mays Jr.’s death. The city of Seattle will have to pay Antonio Mays Sr. more than $30.5 million in damages.

It was probably illegal for someone to have a gun near the school.

These Democratic controlled urban areas are unlivable. Soon they will be impovershed. The lifeblood of any urban area is the private capital that is invested in housing and commerce. Who in their right mind will invest private capital in these lawless, high tax, regulation happy enclaves?

There aren’t many children in Seattle. They diminish quality time with all their needs. Really. I’m not joking.

Consider what they say.

“We don’t want to paint all minorities in a bad light, so we will play down the racial aspect of this incident.”

...as opposed to...

“It’s just blacks killing each other, so no big loss. As long as they stay on the voter rolls, we don’t care.”

Now consider the effect of these two statements.

No difference.

Every democrat is responsible for the assaults, rapes, human trafficking, drug trafficking and murder at the hands of their cartel, chink and muzzie buddies.
Afterall, it’s lucrative and they stay in power. They don’t even give a shit about their dead protesting thugs.

RE: This is what they voted for. Let them embrace the suck.

If the guilty do not suffer then they are emboldened and enabled to commit further crimes. Thus, woke voters are indirectly causing more people to become victims.

Those who are kind to the cruel
will in the end be cruel to the kind.

It’s almost sadder when kids who no-one ever cared about are shot?

Were the kids being used by the school to protest ice like the mothers daughter in this x vid, from another school in the Seattle school district on Friday ?

( It seemed to be a school admin organized Hamas style use of children for political propaganda and indoctrination.)

She was smart to pull her kid out right there and then.
