We Saw You Nov 1, 2016 at 4:00 am

I Mapped All of Seattle's Reported Gropings Over Four Years. They're Happening Everywhere. One Happened to Me.

This is where I was pussy-grabbed last September. Hundreds of people have experienced similar assaults all over Seattle in the last four years. Sydney Brownstone

Go fuck yourself.

I can't say anything that no one hasn't already said to Sydney, but I'm sorry this happens and I'm sorry this happened to you.

While trick-or-treating, we accidentally went to a Trump supporter's house. It was an old guy who was wearing a "US Border Patrol" hat. He gave my kid some religious pamphlet. It was dark and poorly lit, so I didn't notice the Trump/Pence yard sign until we were leaving.

Seattle certainly has its share of Trump supporters; some more overt than others.

Sure, why not? There are plenty of dismissive assholes like you who think sexual assault is just a joke, so it isn't like you are saying anything clever or even original, but it's good when pieces of shit like you identify yourselves, and it's sometimes worth a little effort to attack them. Though to be honest, the intent was and less to give you the attention you crave and more to stand together away from your sad ilk.

@6) Aww poor baby, does mansplaining make it all better?? Awww...

What we need is the assumption of guilt anytime anything close to a sexual assault is reported. That way the responsibility of proof rests on the accused to prove they are innocent.

I mean that report clearly shows that over 33% of our population are rape survivors. Innocent until proven guilty is no longer working: you are now guilty until proven innocent.

unless someone manages to tackle and citizen arrest these fucks immediately after the act, it seems pretty easy to get away with. Especially considering the typical total police non-presence in practically anywhere you go in Seattle that isn't already hey-can-I-use-your-phone sketchy.

Complaining about not enough police?

thanks for the data-crunching, Sydney.

From your graphs, the spike in reports in July/August is understandable (high summer time = less clothing = more grabbers), but the other annual spike, in January, is rather odd, yes? Could be either that New Years (drunk holiday) brings out the gropers, or that more *reports* of molestation occur at this seasons' public events (higher police presence for immediate reporting).

@10 how is that "problem solved" if you're using it after the fact half the time, people aren't going "HEY WATCH THIS, I'M GONNA GROPE YOU"

Avoid wearing earbuds all the time as their continued presence is a haven for bacteria build-up in your ears than can cause infections, or worse deafness.

In addition, it's always good to be able to hear the environment around you - after all it might be MAN needing you to call 911 on your iPhone as he doesn't have one and he's having a heart attack.

This is such crude unacceptable behavior.
Nine ass grabbings a month is certainly nine too many.
And we hate to think about the public urinators and masturbators who didn't get counted.
shudder
However this year Chicago has had over 60 murders a month.
Many of those were children.
Just to provide some perspective.
Either way,
ass grabbing
or cold blooded murder
while walking down the street minding your own business,
we are appalled by what toxic shitholes Democrap city folk are...

Jesus Christ, with today. If the article doesn't make me want to vomit, the comments do.

@15, first of all nope to infections

"We found no incidence of infection of the external ear canal amongst the subjects."

Second, wearing ear buds is an extremely valuable tool in not getting harassed on the street. I often wear them with no music playing, so that I CAN be aware of my environment. But, like SYDNEY EXPLAINED, it's a good way to thwart a lot of verbal harassment.

@1, Why??
21
So why don't we create an initiative to make sure groping always results in an arrest?

good article.

Please wait...
