Quote of the Day
We are funding non-profits and public health to pass out foil, meth pipes, other paraphernalia – I question what harm is being reduced by that, by helping people get high?

‘Bouts of negative activity’ lead to temporary closure of 3 Seattle parks
This was prompted by the city park department fencing off and temporarily closing three parks then saying:
We recognize that this park has been impacted by bouts of negative park activity, and we will continue to work to ensure that all parks are clean, safe, and welcoming.
I’m more that a little surprised that someone on the Seattle City Council would say something that reasonable. In contrast, the “negative park activity” statement is entirely in character with what I would expect.
The use of euphemisms and outright lie to gloss over gross acts of neglect and enablement which what one can only conclude are deliberate acts of societal destruction are what I have come to expect.
Perhaps times are changing, and City Council President Nelson can lead that change. Seattle used to be beautiful and safe. It would be nice if they can fix the damage done by all the leftist politics of the last several decades.
I am generally an optimist. But I suspect the Marxists who have been running Seattle into the ground still have a power base enabling the continuation of their destruction.
My daughter, who lives near one of the nicer parks their had to teach her children to leave discarded needles alone.

More appeasement of the normies is what she’s saying. No one able to gain power is truly that ignorant.
Criminal intent and criminal negligence have the same penalty for a reason. Finding someone to apply it is the problem.
Iryna Zarutska is just the latest example. 14 times was that career criminal in courts hands. And nothing but murder was the result. Oh, and a pile of taxpayer money got pissed away.
Handing out foil, meth pipes, and drug paraphernalia to make people insane enough to want to stab someone to death for the fun of it.
Or set someone on fire to watch them burn alive.
While the cop strolls quietly by.
Sara’s communist ass knows exactly what she’s doing and why.
And needs to get hung for it.
You get more of what you subsidize.
They are communists of the lowest order. “Bouts of negative activity” includes anything from forgetting your lunch sack on the picnic table to shooting up in the presence of little children and murdering other people.
I was in Seattle for a day this summer, walking on and off the ferry into the tourist district. I quickly noticed how dirty it was and how almost everything was patched and repaired poorly – not just a mixture of materials on the roads, but also on every building.
That doesn’t even get into the trash and how everything of any value was locked up or behind counters.
