The following morning, Magan got called into the office to start investigations of 30 to 40 people who’d been arrested for crimes such as trespass, burglary and property destruction. Five or six hours in, he began to suspect they’d given the police false names.

I lived across Puget Sound from Tacoma (before moving to San Antonio). Seattle was an armpit for the twenty-five years I lived in the area. Soooooo glad I got the hell out.

Seattle deserves to get exactly what they voted for...good and hard!

This is totally on the City of Seattle.

What would happen if the antifa twats tried that stuff in downtown bellevue, or kirkland ?

how about Snohomish

I knew this Kemper guy who tried to keep Light Rail away from Bellevue, he spent millions to do this but ultimately failed.

Eat it fools!
“I’m actually a left-wing guy on just about every issue,” says Christopher Young. “I want the United States to be a Scandinavian-style welfare state. So I’m very sympathetic to people’s concerns.” Forming a complementary department of 100 people comprising community service officers, social workers and others who could do the sort of enforcement that doesn’t require a gun would have been a worthy experiment, Young feels. “But they didn’t do that,” he says. “They just demonized the police and chased good people out of town.”
You deserve every moment of anguish and chagrin.

I hope your Mega-earthquake happens much sooner than later.
