There have been cop cars here since about 10:40. I had no idea what was up until 15 minutes ago.
I feel nauseous.
Let me know if you need anything.
I'm going to go get a drink and eat lunch.
Pick axes don't kill people, people kill people.
Pick axes don't kill people, people kill people.
Jesus Christ, WHY don't you guys ban NWLSP?
Also, the people in those halfway houses are likely relatively harmless. It's usually mentally ill people who are NOT getting treatment who do this kind of stuff. Let's wait for more information to come out before pegging it all on the "crazy" people. Vince, do you have proof the murderer from a couple of years ago was living in a halfway house nearby? It was my understanding that he was NOT in the system.
A violent murder in broad daylight is a tragedy.
A group of sixth graders accidentally witnessing it is awful and disturbing. How about some concern for the victim, the families, and the innocent witnesses? My 11 year old son was in that group of kids. While he fortunately was looking the other way and missed the gruesome act, he has a bunch of friends who were not so lucky.
And profile anyone with legal pickaxes.
Or concealed pickaxe permits.
Fear! Must live in Fear!
Not all of them.

and @31: he was receiving treatment at sound mental health. it's in the same story.
It is not that we don't feel or understand the tragedy, but that we feel it quite intensely. Don't get mad at us.
Then there's fuckwits like Will and the Naive Seattle Troll...
So sorry for everyone involved, including the kids who apparently saw it happen - I'm with the Revered Dr DJ Riz on this, my prayers of condolence and wishes of healing go out to everyone touched by this horrible act today.
Dear God.
Can I have my 5 bucks?
What did @ 24 say? It's gone.
Did you guys actually ban That idiot NWLSP?!?!?!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!
@47, deliberately cruel racist trollery, as usual from that commenter...
Shannon Harps, the Kalebu killer of South Park, geez there are dozens of murders in the past few years that were entirely preventable except that the mental health workers who know the imminent danger are threatened with jail and fines if they warn anyone including the police. Enough is enough!
But overreacting won't make it better.
Oh, and Will? Go play on the freeway.
"A mountaineering ice axe, sometimes incorrectly referred to as an "ice pick",[8] was used in the assassination of Leon Trotsky by RamĂłn Mercader in Mexico City in 1940.[9] An ice axe was also used in the 2007 murder of Anthony Walker in Great Britain.[10]"

Sorry I don't have anything clever to say slog gawkers
I hope the cops get to the bottom of this. What the hell drives people to crazed murder during the day, on the streets of capitol hill? Sorry but capitol hill has crazy person problem OK?!
Ironically, it appears that the VICTIM of this crime was one of "those" people that you live "amongst", and the perp is a dude with several domestic violence and assault charges against him. The DV perps might be the REAL dangers to society, with their entitled rage, and murder/suicide plans - maybe a thwarted plan to murder their ex with a hatchet with the victim at the wrong place/wrong time? Talking out my ass here, but I bet anything this crime is somehow domestic violence related.
@ 62, The differenence is Trotsky deservied it.
@ 63 Trostky deserved it.
@ 63 Trostky deserved it.
@bellelaide - Be careful about your biases or bigotry too. Your comment recommending KX One "move to Bellevue or Ballard or some other bland, white-ass place where people are just as freaked out by mental illness" is rather prejudiced itself!
It's undoubtedly not the fault of Sound Mental Health that when these clients adamantly insist that they're feeling suicidal or are experiencing thoughts of hurting others, they are always readily dismissed by the hospitals. Every time. They are given some anxiety medication, talked down from their harmful ideation, and sent directly back to wherever it is that they're living. I've seen this happen hundreds of times. Rarely are they hospitalized, in spite of the fact that many of them directly request hospitalization.
I'm so sorry for everyone involved in this.
