Groovy. Thinking on the Mayor's decisions and having subsequent discussions is so chill, a total non-buzzkill. I bet it it's très-psychedelic hanging with the PubicOla dump.

Yay, middle ground.

How very kind of Hizzhonor to whitesplain this. I and hundreds of thousands of other grateful Seattle residents look forward to an immediate cessation of gun violence starting on September 1 as the result of Hizzhonor's bold crackdown.

Yippee, Summer of pancakes, we get another flip-flop from Hizzhoner. You'd think 1 or 2 of his 6 figure staff consultants would suggest thinking out his positions before making them.

The usual suspects played their race card and he folded his hand. Coward.

Anonymous racist @5 is anonymous. Coward.

Hurrah for the ACLU. And credit to the community organizing against a very bad decision by the mayor. Violent crime is complicated and scapegoating a handful of businesses is no solution. A commitment to sophisticated policing, analysis, and investment in neglected communities would make the difference over time. Please get on that, Mayor Murray—and get the SPD on board.

Weed clubs, cigar clubs, cigarette clubs. Where do we draw the line? Btw, I'd like to see the people get their power to choose back and to enjoy an indoor stogie in the company of others.
