Seattle, the city, has become a crazy homeless person. I know, Seattle, again, yes. Every poster child for democrat rule needs to have its dirty laundry aired so the so-called middle, filled with moderate, independent voters, understands. There’s no coming back from what Democrats will do and ignore what they say because there are numerous examples of what actually happens.
Crazy homeless person? Yes. Ranting, irksome, and while both sad and unfortunate, very likely the result of choices voters made at the polls. Democrat policies create homelessness and then build a patronage system that needs the problem to justify its existence and larger annual budgets.
Pick a talking point. If they object to it, it undermines their scheme. If they support it, the scheme will expand government, payrolls, NGO partners, budgets, all of which make the problem worse so those other things can continue to grow and profit. Ideally, they achieve critical mass, Democrats achieve a one-party state, and they hit the accelerator, with one modern change. The threat from the MAGA movement has changed the timetable. Give them power for even just two years, and they will catalyze their “mandate” and work to wreck everything as quickly as possible.
Seattle has been on the road to ruin for a very long time, and voters have only themselves to blame.
Residents along the corridor spent Memorial Day weekend constructing the barriers out of metal planters, concrete blocks, and other items to block streets “after weeks of shootings, high-speed chases, and crime concerns tied to prostitution, trafficking, and alleged turf wars,” Fox News reported.
One resident, Peter Orr, told KTVB 7, “It’s either this, or bullets in my neighbor’s houses.” The Mayor was mocked online for her residents taking such drastic action to ensure their own safety.
The mocked mayor says her people are on it, which means removing the citizen barriers and replacing them with chicanes, which don’t block anything, not really, but Mayor Wilson says it’s a public safety, emergency vehicle access issue. That’s rich. Seattle is renowned for allowing progressive fringe groups to block streets and establish autonomous zones. But I can sort of see it from her perspective. Preventing incidents that would require emergency vehicle access isn’t as important as ensuring more incidents to which those vehicles can respond.
Wilson promised that the Seattle Police Department (SPD) was increasing patrols in the area and was seeking to step up “gun violence reduction” in the area, calling them “immediate fixes, right?”
Make more victims. That’s the answer. And it has to be. Everything else is for show. Crime destabilizes the community, which means more government despite its responsibility for the problem. Something citizens tried to solve themselves but that the city then had to undo. Crime won’t go down, not in real terms, but it doesn’t have to. The City will spend more of the citizens’ money and then report that crime went down, even though it didn’t. They stopped reporting crime as crime or calling crimes crime. People won’t feel safer, but the “news” says crime went down. Well, maybe over there, and there but not here, but no – it just didn’t go down. And because they control all the levers of power and how crime is reported or tracked, as well as the rules that govern transparency, you can say whatever you want, but you can’t prove it.
And Seattle voters will nod their heads and re-elect the idiot Dems fleecing them in exchange for declining quality of life, fewer opportunities, more crime, more homelessness, more poverty, more drug deaths, a bloated welfare state, and the massive tax bill that gets bigger while all those problems get worse.
