Why hasn't The Stranger reported about Ms. Lyles threats against a 10 year child, with a knife, that Solid Ground covered up and the Seattle Times undercovered?

Context. Context.

"Charleena Lyles’ alleged threat to kill boy wasn’t reported to police

Mike CarterUpdated October 25, 2017 at 10:27 am

Employees of the apartment where Charleena Lyles lived learned she had allegedly threatened to kill a 10-year-old boy with a knife sometime in May, according to investigative records. Lyles was fatally shot by two Seattle officers June 18 in her apartment.

Weeks before Seattle police fatally shot Charleena Lyles, employees of the low-income apartment complex where Lyles lived learned she had allegedly threatened to kill a 10-year-old boy with a knife, according to a source familiar with the matter and investigative records made public Tuesday.

But the employees from Solid Ground didn’t report the incident to Seattle police, according to records obtained from the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office under a public-disclosure request filed by The Seattle Times."

"...attorneys representing the estate of Charleena Lyles, a pregnant African American mother of four who was fatally shot by two Seattle police officers in June after luring them into her apartment with a false report of a burglary, then attacking them with a knife..."

There. Fixed it for ya.

The whole point of the lawsuit was a big cash payout. Not looking good now.

@1 -- To the best of my knowledge, neither has The Stranger noted that Charleena's 4 kids -- plus one on the way -- were living in a severely contaminated meth hot zone.

Manufactured outrage sometimes breaks down soon after it rolls off the assembly line.

@4 Yep, Seattle Times reported that one too. Also reported, Ms. Lyles had access to free housing, free food, free education for her kids, free healthcare (Medicaid + Solid Ground's health care staff), free transportation, free contraception (not used obviously), free mental health care through Solid Ground, free social workers advocating for her, and court ordered free drug treatment, not taken.

She was a living, breathing example of the bounty of the welfare state. And yet he kept pulling knives on 10 year old kids and cops but to listen to Seattle's Sandal-istas the woman was found wanting of yet more free help.

...and that's to say nothing of the fact that she got to live in one of Seattle's best neighborhoods. For free.

So tell us again how Seattle didn't pull out all the stops for her when she committed suicide-by-cop.

So which one of those were a capital crime?

Must've been the one that @6 brought up, where a black person was in the wrong neighborhood.

I hope to hell these comments aren't from people that actually live in Seattle, or we are fucked!
What a bunch of simple minded assholes!
It seems like there are a lot of Trump trolls trying to convince us to come to the dark side with them or something.
I NEVER saw shit comments like this in media until recently.
Nice try, but we aren't that stupid.
Go away.

@8 Cami: Bless you for calling it and telling this tragic story like it truly is.
@1-@6; Go fuck yourselves, Trumpzillan trolls, and get back on the bus to Dumbfuckville.

@8 "I NEVER saw shit comments like this in the media until recently."

So you literally just logged onto the internet for the first time about a week or so ago? Welcome!

The first rule is that you can't take anything seriously.
11
Still nothing from The Stranger about the threats she made to a 10 year old boy...just silence. I suppose when facts don't fit your narrative move on to something else
12
Her continuing to give birth is the ultimate crime. Along with the millions like her across this country continue to shit them out daily.
13
It's all kind of irrelevant because the case is a loser.

@8, @9. Awww. Two poor, leftie fascist trolls got their fee-fees hurt by facts. It's okay grumpy munchkins. Go and cower in the corner someplace. Lol. Fucking snowflakes.

Please wait...
