"What the fuck? The city will sweep a long-standing encampment in Ballard on Friday."

Is there a reason this SLOG post failed to note the recent fires at this encampment?

So the state board of health caved to the MAGATs. Fucking pussies.

NYPD identifies a suspect based on items left at the scene, issues a city-wide "have you seen this man?" notice within hours, and offers a $50,000 reward. Syrian immigrant Zack Tahhan sees him, turns him in. Slog writer under strict orders to find the "copz suk" angle in literally any story involving cops says "See? We don't need cops, just Zacks!" And another pebble is added the mountain of dumb takes.

Anyway kudos to sharp-eyed good citizen Zack Tahhan and I hope he collects his reward $.

Sweep, Sweep, Sweep!! Keep on Sweepin!

No COVID shots for kids in public schools is the right call. Forcing people do do something is the approach of last resort; the benefits of vaxxed kiddos do not outweigh the drawbacks. Do we really need more families divesting from our public school system? No, we do not.

@1: because that info would undermine the ideological narrative.

Thurston County sheriff deputies handcuffed a guy on a medical call and the guy died

https://www.theolympian.com/news/local/article260376132.html

It's being examined by an 'independent' agency, the Lewis County sheriff, who is the twin brother of the Thurston County sheriff.

Did I hide the link? The whole thing is complicated, you can focus on what you think is important about the heroic first responders who wouldn't treat the guy until the heroic second responders cuffed him and then they decided maybe the cuffs not needed and all this discussion and then the guy is dead but the boss's twin brother can investigate.

@1:

Were they, like, actual conflagrations, or were they in fact bullshit "illegal recreational fire" citations SPD has been handing out recently like so much Halloween candy (most of which are given to unhoused people trying to, you know, cook food in order to survive) to artificially bulk up that particular statistic and poke the adrenal glands of all the quivering NIMBY's who think every homeless camp is a raging inferno?

20

Oh cheesy Comte - they were explosions. But perhaps you couldn't hear them with the radical homeless dogma reverberating in your head.

re @17's retort to @16's retort to @15:
(and to borrow from @14's retort):
but that info would undermine
the ideological narrative.

@ least we're Promised

@4 dvs99 and @22 Princess Angeline #2 :+2. For the WIN! Well said and summarized. I'm just as outraged as you both are.

We need to abort all MAGA trash, starting with Vladimir Putin and its sock puppet, Orange Turd.

@21
The FBI did investigate!
Brett likes beer!
The investigation ended!

@20:

Doesn't sound any worse than the yahoos in my neighborhood who blow off fireworks or immolate their Weber grills by pouring an entire quart of lighter fluid on them every July 4th or when the Huskies win the Apple Cup or the Seahawks win a divisional championship or because it's a Saturday in August or whatever.

Oh, right. I forgot. It's perfectly okay to blow shit up if you have a back yard or a driveway...

@27 COMTE: I know we don't live in the same community, but your neighborhood certainly sounds similar to mine. I really feel for local cats & dogs every July 4th and New Year's Eve. Despite illegal fireworks laws there are still people hellbent on being defiant. Then these same irresponsible idiots bitch, moan, and cry when their carelessness lands them in the ER, like it's the mayor's fault they got first degree burns from lighting M-80s with particularly short fuses, all liquored up. "But Doctor--we's just celebrating our Free Dumbs!"
And WTF is the latest attraction of engines of low axle, junked up (missing hubcaps, off color driver's and / or passenger doors, fenders, etc.), fast moving cars that loudly growl and pop? They should be a racetrack, not through town, barreling down residential streets, or on main highways.
