Seattle police are investigating yet another apparently gang-related shooting in South Seattle.
According to police, a group of teens were leaving King Donuts in the 9200 block of Rainier Avenue South when a man began firing at them from across the street. Two teen boys were shot in the back and were transported to Harborview with non-life-threatening injuries.
The Gang unit is investigating.
Friday night, police were called to Alki Beach to investigate another gang shooting after a 19-year-old Crip gang member was shot outside of a restaurant.
Holy shit, all hell breaks lose again.
shots were fired this evening in the CD, somewhere near 26th and Union. At least 7 shots fired.
but let me guess–the police are going to continue to tell you the City is safe.
the mayor has not clothes. please, somebody, somebody with some credibility, step up. and all you sheep throwing yourselves at the Fat One b/c he’s taken a “hard stance” on climate change, do some soul searching and realize this city could be so much better with somebody else in charge.
Hey, at least we’re getting rid of plastic grocery bags… That’s more important, right?
@ 3, yeah at least traffic violations and jaywalking crimes have gone down. Thank Goodness! I can sleep safely tonight. And hey, at least I no longer live in the CD. Sorry folks, the coppers are too bust giving moving violations and ticking pedestrians to stop violent crimes.
And to think I was just telling a west seattle friend about the preposterous number of shootings in rainier valley…PS to the rest of the city, people get shot down here. A LOT.
and a Crip (capital C, Crip!!) was shot friday night? oh, how sad. that just makes it even harder for me to sleep tonight. Seriously.
The shooters must have been former or current Youth Pastors.
Or Youth Leaders.
From Britain, or maybe Australia.
Dan has alerted us to the grave risk they pose,
to our children and teens.
(Don’t let your children stand too close to Youth Pastors, especially from the CommonWealth nations)
CELEBRATE DIVERSHITTY
I will personally help the campaign of any mayoral candidate that acknowledges we have a severely out of control gang problem in the CD and South Seattle, and has a plan of action. 20 bucks says Mayor Pickles will only acknowledge the problem when an innocent civilian gets cut down in the crossfire.
It is totally racist and insensitive to criticize anything that black people do! Have you forgotten about slavery?
SLAVERY???!!!!???
I don’t feel threatened, living in the CD, but I’m not going to wait around for all the services and stores and restaurants to start closing up or being really weird when this all settles into the psyche.
1…2…3…4…5…DING! It’s the countdown to trolls. These sorts of posts are sure to inflame them.
Anyway. As long as it’s young black males getting shot, and it stays within the South Central Containment Zone, our city leaders will do nothing. That’s disgusting.
SOme people around here act like “violence” is something that just floats around in the CD and South Central, attacking innocent black males and FORCING them to kill and rape.
You stupid people would whine your asses off about “profiling” and “racism” and “police brutality” if the cops and city ever did anything about it anyway.
By “gang-related” do you mean “poverty-related”? Or “black-related”? Or “youth-related”? All three? Or do you mean an organized criminal enterprise fighting for market dominance? Instead of using code words, you should just use the term “capitalism-related.”
@9
If those punks become Christian you can bet I’ll be gunning for them, if I become Mayor.
@14 – typical retarded seattle lib “logic”
Like it fucking matters WHY they are violent and stupid. Bottom like is they are violent and stupid and will remain that way for centuries.
given the easy availability of guns, illegal and legal, and an endless supply of poorly-educated, undisciplined, nothing-to-lose testosterone in the CD, expect more.
just make sure you aim carefully so you don’t hit bystanders, teenage idiots.
re: testosterone –
Serum testosterone levels in healthy young black and white men.
Ross R, Bernstein L, Judd H, Hanisch R, Pike M, Henderson B.
Blacks in the United States have the highest prostate cancer rate in the world and nearly twice that of whites in the United States. The 2:1 black-to-white ratio in prostate cancer rates is already apparent at age 45 years, the age at which the earliest prostate cancer cases occur. This finding suggests that the factor(s) responsible for the difference in rates occurs, or first occurs, early in life. Testosterone has been hypothesized to play a role in the etiology of prostate cancer, because testosterone and its metabolite, dihydrotestosterone, are the principal trophic hormones that regulate growth and function of epithelial prostate tissue. This report gives the results of assays of circulating steroid hormone levels in white and black college students in Los Angeles, CA. Mean testosterone levels in blacks were 19% higher than in whites, and free testosterone levels were 21% higher. Both these differences were statistically significant. Adjustment by analysis of covariance for time of sampling, age, weight, alcohol use, cigarette smoking, and use of prescription drugs somewhat reduced the differences. After these adjustments were made, blacks had a 15% higher testosterone level and a 13% higher free testosterone level. A 15% difference in circulating testosterone levels could readily explain a twofold difference in prostate cancer risk.

@9 Ditto.
@14 – No, I’m pretty sure he meant “gang-related”. Every business in the city is “fighting for market dominance”, but it’s the gangs that are shooting people in the streets. There’s no excuse for this violence.
I don’t give a shit if these losers kill each other off. Fuck em.
& So….Numbers 18 & 19, your recommendation is we neuter all teenage males….or just the poor black ones?
No we should just legally regulate black couples to having only one child per couple. The black population would be cut in half every generation and in a few decades, combined with the one-child-per-couple program, the black problem would have taken care of itself with its TNB violence and AIDS fucking.
