Interesting. I would have said that about you. You view your fellow citizens as a threat, which is why you have a gun. Pretty sure there aren't any bears or wolves in Seattle, so it can't be that.
I view potential criminals as a threat, yes. Do I view all democrats with the same lens as you folks view Republicans? No. I've not gone over the bend.
But speaking of Seattle. Yesterday's NextDoor feed brought us the tale of the botched catalytic converter theft that ended up with shots fired. Drove by the car with its window shot out last night.
But what about today? Hmm:
Last night ~7:45 pm (on Fri, May 12), I was in the kitchen of our Queen Anne home looking out the window making some dinner when a shirtless, emaciated homeless man walking down the sidewalk in front of our house sets fire to 3 boxes I put out at the end of the driveway!!!
Thankfully, I witnessed it so I quickly grab my phone to call 911 and then the fire extinguisher. My wife is putting our 2 young kids to bed so I yell at her to grab the hose. Neither the hose nor the fire extinguisher fully put the fire out so we had to wait for the Fire Department to arrive and finish the job.
It's worth noting that the fire is next to a wooden telephone pole. If burnt, it could easily fall on our house or neighbor's house.
While on the phone with emergency dispatcher, the drunk/high arsonist casually walks freely down Warren Ave to the bottom of the hill. The 911 dispatcher advised that I "call the city"... um, YOU ARE THE CITY! Of course, both the police and firemen arrive and say "sorry, but our hands are tied" or in the case of the police, "we can't really do much to apprehend the guy....arresting a homeless man wouldn't be a priority for the city." Me: "how about an arsonist?!"
I shutter to think what would happen if we weren't home when this happened or if we were upstairs putting our 2 young kids (age 11 months and 3 years) to sleep at that time like normal?
I'm so tired of this crap. Voting differently.
Bolding mine. Here's hoping enough liberal Seattle voters get tired of the mess they've made and vote to do something about it this time.
