Gang unit investigating, but let's find a way to blame rural gun owners.
Could you guys be more predictable around here?
You think AK-47's are legal in Belgium or France?
Hate to break it to you, but criminals don't follow the law.
So do you now see what @1 did there?
BTW, I could be wrong, but I don't think that most members of Seattle's gangs bother with becoming members of the NRA.
This is hot on the heels of Savage's piece about the youth detention center, too.
I really don't care for American gun culture, but this weird impulse to antagonize the political opposition instead of being infuriated with the violent perpetrators is hard to understand.
Would you feel that way if you, or a loved one, caught a stray bullet?
What about the poor folks working in that store? Would you feel that way if you lost an eye while working a bad shift for relatively low pay? All forgiven then?
Kroger won't even allow them to carry pepper spray, even though somebody at the other QFC used it to defend himself against an attack. He was suspended(!) and lost several shifts worth of pay. Pathetic.
Well, I'm just glad this wasn't a sexist shooting! I guess we can be thankful for some progress.
Freedom isn't free.
"A King County Superior Court judge sentenced a 19-year-old Seattle man to 28½ years in prison Monday for killing a man over his cellphone in the parking lot of a Greenwood pet store in February 2014.
“I’ll be back in an hour” were the last words 54-year-old David L. Peterson said to his wife of 22 years as he headed out on his nightly walk around their Greenwood neighborhood on Feb. 23, 2014, Kimberly Peterson told Judge James Cayce before the judge issued the stiffest punishment he could."

Then again I quit reading the comments after @6, so apologies to anyone after that who didn't write something stupid.
We can all feel good about that. When we're done talking about corporate welfare, maybe we can talk about the fact that we subsidize crime by paying idiots like this to exist?
Mom won't let me leave the house anymore.
The cats need constant care, there are 5 of them named after her boyfriends from the 60's; all non-white IF you must know.
It's hard for me to be on my feet for 8 hours, in any case.
The district kommissar had me hobbled to make room for "less privileged" applicants at the local widget firm, but they still take a cut of my welfare to give to my ex. I'm hoping if I agree to be voluntarily blinded after attending mandatory equality classes, I'll be allowed to get a job sweeping up outside Amazon or maybe if I'm lucky, writing Stranger reviews if I can clean up my grammar.
I take a little solace in posting here. Please don't take that from me!
We're still getting the Friday Police Report cartoon.
So now I can get Mudede's latest bizarre rant about racist gum, a bunch of troll comments, reviews of bands no one cares about, and a boring review of the newest Vietnamese/Honduran fusion grill that will be gone in three months. Oh boy.
@3: are you saying urbanites can't be in the militia? the definition is basically "any fucknut with a gun and no criminal record". so I have no evidence that this fellow wasn't an upstanding member up till the time he shot 4 people. in fact, it would be prejudicial of me to assume anything but.
@7: you don't have to be in the NRA to be in the militia.
every gun thread is political, gun humpers.
you tell me then, what was broadway and pike before it began "transforming" into an "Urbanist neighborhood"? verdant pastures and hay fields?
Neighbors has been open on that corner since 19 fucking 83.
and I didn't lie. I have no way of know if he was in the law-abiding club or not until he's caught. I'm presuming his innocence. Aren't you, or do you hate the American Justice system?
@43 DC v Heller is not the end of the story. it is the 1st ruling that affirmed an individual right, and runs counter to several previous rulings. I want regulation. I want you hoplophiliacs marching your super-patriot asses up and down a parade ground every weekend to maintain your access to The Precious.
On the top level, it should be very expensive pay-to-park with gates, and get rid of that creepy staircase on the west side. The stores could offer parking validation.
