Residents in a troubled Seattle neighborhood have begun erecting large homemade barricades across residential streets after a surge of gun violence left many fearing for their safety.
Neighbors living near Aurora Avenue say repeated shootings, alleged prostitution activity and late-night chaos have pushed the community to a breaking point.
Following another burst of gunfire over the weekend, frustrated residents took matters into their own hands by physically blocking off nearby roads in an effort to keep traffic and suspected criminal activity out of the area, Fox 13 reported.
Videos circulating online show multiple streets partially sealed off with piles of dirt, chunks of concrete and mounds of gravel. Other barriers were built using corrugated metal panels arranged to resemble oversized raised garden beds stretching across the roadway.

When citizens feel forced to take law and order into their own hands, they usually do. And do a very effective job of ridding their towns of threats to normal civil life.
Even though they can make a mistake or two.
I hear communist mayors are really good at dealing with such problems. Seattle should try one.
How’s that communist mayor working out for you? Votes matter. No sympathy here. Getting along well with few cops I see.
If elites can live in gated communities, why can’t the common folk? Now they just need to post some armed guards.
LOL!! That’s not going to keep anyone out.
Interesting article. This just might cause Seattle’s mayor to take some action.
Enough of coddling Seattle’s criminals!
I kid, of course. It’s way more likely that the barricades will be removed. And then the barricade folks will be cited for blocking a street.
Yea. Maybe she’ll send out some social workers to get things under control.
And now a song about how Seattle used to be.
Cue Perry Como.

During the COVID crisis in Hunan province they did this in some suburbs of the city of Hunan. Local governments used bulldozers to block roads with big piles of dirt.
Washington is a shall issue state that still allows “assault weapons”.
Seattle is an anomaly.
Even shotguns are extraordinarily effective for even a novice.
When citizens are willing to put up barricades, they are spoiling for a fight.
But I read in an article posted here a couple days ago that Seattle has one of the highest percentages of residents with a college degree - something like 70%. Certainly such brainiacs can come up with a better solution!
Prostitution has been going on along Aurora Avenue for 20 years according to some local citizens. Hookers start the neighborhoods demise, followed by drugs, and rampant crime to get drugs. All this crime has been ignored by officials, who think that the police are the bad guys(girls accepted)and protect these entertainment contractors and their countless fans.
Send in the social workers! Problem solved.
(Obvious sarcasm)
I will enjoy watching leftist sh!tholes devolve into Thunderdome
Just left Seattle at end of a cruise. What a sh@thole. Homeless tents and graffiti everywhere.
So... building a border wall DOES help deter criminal activitiy...
Residents are likely unable to make any connection between their present situation and what they voted for.
They are not the people who voted for the commies.
They are just outnumbered in this city.
We lived in downtown Seattle...Belltown for 5 years during Obama....I was a poll worker for Republicans..I called all 11...ELEVEN OF US TO GET OUT AND VOTE......my husband and I were 2 if the ELEVEN...TO 749 DEMOCRATS! And this was YEARS AGO!
