Title: Seattle Is Dying

I am really surprised that anyone had the courage to publish this video essay - it is brutally honest. And living right next door I can attest to the accuracy of it - if anything they are understating just how F'd up Seattle has become.

Saw some of it; couldn't stand watching, well, looking.  I remember walking in downtown Newark, NJ at night with my mother and my aunt, at Christmas time; we were shopping, and safe as houses.

NOW?  Hah!

 Not one politician will even call it a drug problem which leads back to the border and drugs coming over it. But it's not a crisis ask a dem.

No, they'll say it is a money problem and it's because those white racist sexist homophobic rich bastards aren't being taxed enough to keep up with the demand for OPM to fund this, that, the other thing...and whateverthehell else they emote as an immediate existential need.

Minneapolis, New York, Seattle...my response is the same...

...their hatred, demonization and blame make it easier to not give a flip.

Just more destroyed human lives, courtesy of socialist rot.  When they attach cause and responsibility intelligently and act sensibly to address the core problem...then and only then will I begin to give a damn.

  Amazon Ditches Seattle As Business Tax Threats And Homeless Epidemic Reach Peak Liberal


  Amazon plans to relocate its entire Seattle-based worldwide operations team to Bellevue, Wash., by 2023, adding thousands of employees to its new campus just across Lake Washington, according to an internal email obtained by GeekWire.

Whatever...we can have 'Soup confirm but I suspect moving to Bellevue is merely kicking the reckoning can down the road...or over the lake...whatever.  It is a matter of when not if Bellevue reaches peak progressive too, yes?

This is just going to a new venue to crap where you eat...start the clock!

But I won't cry over the demise of Seattle...or any such city near or far...

Why should we be sympathetic to their plight when that are trying to force that crap on us?

Leftism and Leftists ruin everything they touch. They see it happen, and they still continue. Then when it gets so bad they can no longer stand it, they relocate, and bring Leftist misery down upon their new hosts. They’ve utterly ruined Colorado - once a safe conservative haven. They’ll never ever stop, until they are stopped.

It is what they do.  And if you point it out to them they will say "but we can do better this time" and then proceed to do the same damn things.  They don't know how to stop, we will need to stop them!

Has anyone seen that l-o-n-g video - a portion of which shows a Town Hall meeting with the mayor - where he basically says there's "no problem" & suggests anyone thinking they SEE a problem to dial 9-1-1?

He needs to be stopped. Stopped in the name of the Second Amendment.

Some say the Second Amendment is there only for moose . . . & "deer". Well . . . "dear" Mayor . . .
