*sigh*...

Now a family gets to plan a funeral instead of a holiday dinner.....

That's a shit lesson to learn.

Thanks, Seattle...

But sure, just send in another social worker.. I'm sure it'll be fine... That's all they need, is social workers.

...............

The abject stupidity of Seattle Council...

"Severe Knife Wounds"

?????

How many is it going to take, lets see.

This is sad. But every single person with a brain knows that this is the way its going to go down.

Sympathy to the family.

I visited Belltown some 7 or 8 years ago, when returning to my car that night, some six to eight guys were there, two sitting on my car. I was unarmed at the time, and being dense the way I sometimes can be, I continued to my car. On arrival one guy approached and kept insisting I give him the keys, he would bring it back, he just wanted to go for a ride and enjoy my car, his words. I was scared, my voice was cracking, I realized I was in over my head, but he kept insisting and I kept saying no.

Apparently they didn't want to cross the line to criminal action, so they never forced me nor took the keys by violence, they were hoping for success by intimidation, and when it didn't work they gave up, though the two still made themselves at home sitting on my expensive car. I got in the car and floored it while starting it, I guess they never heard an uncorked V8 before, I never saw two fucknutz jump so fast and so high before in my life.

My combat vet brother said I was foolish for even approaching the car given my level of preparation. He was right, and I got lucky.

A few years later, or four years ago, I had to move to Belltown, rented from a friend there, let's see, in 9 months, one shooting right outside our window, maybe it was two shootings, one smash and grab robbery with significant damage to the store front, tons of vandalism over the months, and I wanna say one guy was killed nearby but I'm fuzzy on that one. Lovely place that Belltown.

I lived in Belltown nearly 13 years. (1st and Bell) That was over 22 years ago. Been out here ever since. It wasn't much better, back then.

Ban knives! If it saves just one life......

Damn dude, I would never have guessed!

I was there '97 - '99 (2nd and Bell). Howdy, ex-neighbor!

Barely missed.

I moved out here in april 97.
