Reap what you Sow.
The Left has fostered an ignorant unsatisfiable ungovernable unreasonable underclass;
now it cowers and runs from it.
Sad.

Another Youth Jail protest, another total failure of The Stranger to tell us who any of these protesters are, or where they come from.

We can read their placards for ourselves, The Editors. How about doing some, like, original reporting on these remarkably persistent activists?

Do you suppose they’ll be at the ribbon-cutting?

These protesters have no solutions. They say they do, but when you read the fine print it's just a bunch of commie bs.

The jail should be, and will be built, period.

How not to coalesce support for your position.

You're not helping.

Fine, put the project back up to a vote with the cost of cancelling the project, pictures of the current facility, and these protestors’ plan for violent juveniles.

When county voters re-approve the project with 75+% of the vote, will that suffice?

@9

I don't think the protesters have much interest in convincing the public. If anything, they seem to be avoiding even introducing themselves to the unwashed masses, let alone talking to them.

"The People's Party" doesn't like the results of the vote the people took so all ten of them keep doing these protests. They are an embarrassment to themselves. I hope the King County Executive refuses to give Nikita Oliver and her bullshit grandstanding even a second of his time. Troubled youth deserve better than this.

@2 The Stranger is not in the business of identifying activists so that you can harass them. You'll have to do your own research.

@13 - Nailed It!

The policy of building a youth jail IS an issue that deserves serious debate, but these protesters aren't serious - their behavior demonstrates that they're more interested than the act of protesting than actually effecting change.

@13

I don't want to harass them, I want to know what their backgrounds are, what experiences and broader political ideologies are driving them.

Most political activists are more than happy to share this kind of stuff with the society they live in; in politics you tend to garner wider support when you you're open and public than when you close your group to outsiders and act paranoid about it.

But it sounds like you prefer the secret-squirrel approach?

@12, that is.

About 18 months ago there was a meeting at Seattle Center to show support for Muslims as Cadet Bone Spur was getting ready to do his horrible thing. The protesters shouted down the mayor and Constantine and the news in the paper the next day had nothing about support for Muslims, only about Ungovernable Seattle. The protesters had no solutions, nothing they wanted people to do, they were just going to shave a pound of flesh off of Constantine & Co. Super disappointing.
