Politics and stuff

Just watched the Seattle police chief said there have been rapes and robberies that her force has not been able to get to.

Sounds like a great place

I thought we aren't supposed to judge an entire group based on a few "bad apples"?

So why the protests if we aren't supposed to judge the many because of the few?

We get it, you are ANTIFA...

Does that make you a fascist white supremacists?

Nothing I have ever post have ever insinuated what you ask. But your apologist attitude towards lawlessness speaks volumes of where you stand

I was just following ur lead and thought we were just spewing out nonsense. You chose to vomit out antifa as a symbol of far left so I followed with fascist white supremacist for your side neither are true I assume but that didn't stop you?

Crowes and George doing their best impersonations of everything that is wrong on both sides of the political spectrum.

No, no... those rules don't apply to him, only others.

Don't lump me in with him, I can see both sides of the coin here. I'm just pointing out how dumb his thought process is when it comes to crime from both sides. Cops crime = bad, lawless rioting and looting = not bad in his eyes from what he has posted so far

I find it hilarious that Lebron praises the road painting of Black Lives Matter and everyone loves it, but Seattle protestors do the same thing but actually name the area CHAZ (Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone) and you guys are like, "WTF is going on in Seattle". They are anachists, pillage plunder and rape, the humanity."
SPD Chief of Police said on camera yesterday that since the zone was created, there have been 3 fighting calls, 1 looting call, 1 domestic call, or something like that. That's progress on Capitol Hill in that area!! 5 calls in 4 or 5 days or whatever it is?

A friend of mine went to visit the chaos, witnessed free food, drinks and assistance BY CHOICE not forced or required. Saw people painting the road in peace with on lookers from the curbside and sidewalks, oh the humanity!

I'm telling you, Capitol Hill is already a diverse location and it isn't your normal neighborhood. It isn't downtown Seattle, East Precinct is where the Chief of Police works. It is not the crazy out of control crap that National News is spewing. You cannot believe even the most credible sources out there anymore, drives me crazy.

So businesses paying for added security, they're doing that just for the heck of it?

I really think you are making shit up at this point

As I have put forth many a time and I dunno how many ways to state this but what is so hard to understand about the stance that they are both bad but our attention should be on what's causing the unrest that leads to rioting and looting?

You can't see other factors goin into their decision? Maybe what they see on TV or other media outlets exaggerating the situation?

While I'm not saying it's 100% responsible for the uptick in security company contacts it's absurd to think just cause someone calls a security company they are seeing violence directly outside on their streets at that point it's to late....

I don't get into the back and forth with you shel, you will spin it to get people to type things that are ridiculous. I'm telling you, it isn't what the National Media is spinning. To say that business is paying for added security is so ridiculous of a comeback as many of the original 2 or 3 days of this nationally was difficult to take for any business that was looted, ransacked and destroyed. So is the added security in response to that? Or is it in response to a now peaceful area?

I don't like talking politics or about situations like this because I am never up on the actual facts. I'm done with the debating, just pointing out that it isn't the narrative that people are creating online.

[cougnix]

And for the record, don't lump me in with Crowes because I don't think that creating a "CHAZ" is the right thing to do...lol

For the record I challenge anyone to go back and find where I posted that....

I post facts, and what you're replying to was me posting about facts.

You type what you type, and you own it. I don't make you type anything, have some personal accountability.

I'm telling you, it isn't what the National Media is spinning

I'm not talking about the national media, I'm talking about the Seattle Times.

To say that business is paying for added security is so ridiculous of a comeback as many of the original 2 or 3 days of this nationally

So you're saying the Seattle Times is wrong? Again, not national media, Seattle Times.

[shel311]

Maybe what they see on TV or other media outlets exaggerating the situation?

You're just throwing shit at the wall.

Yea, maybe. And maybe they're paying for security because they have legit reasons to be fearful, so now what? That makes your point useless.

Well, maybe...anytime that's your retort, you're starting off on pretty bad footing when trying to prove why someone did something.

Did I say that they didn't have a legit reason in their mind for calling for security?

Your maybe reason is no more relevant then mine unless you've directly spoke with a significant number of businesses to find out what's going on in their heads and happening directly outside on their streets.

For someone supposedly so spot on for seeing what's wrong with our political system/ commentary you really seem like the embodiment of what has led to the differences.

Last post I will make.

Your Seattle Times article posted June 11 was in response to the first weekend of riots that destroyed downtown and Capitol Hill. The article also goes into response times and what the private security company uses as far as weapons and deterrents. So not sure how it relates to the peaceful CHAZ, just sayin. I’m out,
