Borders and walls are racist and xenophobic. It’s just a matter of time until they’re holding secret meetings in pointy white hats and robes.

Must live in the wrong part of town. There's only a 7 % chance or so of gunfire in Seattle.

And one of the neighbors complained about ambulances not being able to get in there, ignoring the reason an ambulance would have to get in there.

This is what the Iraqis did when we got to Baghdad in 03 to keep the insurgents out. Seattle is now a third world country.

Meh. It sucks for them, but crime is relative and relatively speaking this shouldn't be national news. No one was even shot, much less killed.


It’s amazing that you can’t see how stupid these statements are. Why don’t you just say “people behaving like wild animals with guns all over American cities is perfectly normal and acceptable. See, I’m not a racist”.

You stupid fricks make me sick

Their solution is to…

build a wall?

It’s ironic.

My brother moved out of Seattle proper around 2017. I have a cousin who still lives in West Seattle but all my other relatives moved to the suburbs years ago. I think wanting more space and the HCOL played a bigger part in their decisions to move than crime back then though.

Idk what the answer is. This sort of thing seems to be cyclical.

Yeah, the wheels turns when you elect a communist that’s never had a job to mayor.

Barricades? But I was definitely told that "walls do not work".

Barricades are like walls, right? Don't they realize they don't work?
