This is a documentary that KOMO 4 News put out and I have to say that I am proud of them for calling out the people who have been running Seattle into the ground. I do not live in seattle, I live about 2.5 hours away. I went to Seattle for work about 4 years ago and I said never again after I saw two people shooting up on the sidewalk. 

I don't know if anyone knows what is happening to Seattle but it is not good.

That is so horridly terrible!  How stuppid can our lawmakers be.  I Pray this doesn't become the norm

I hate to say this but this is coming. California is just as bad and Portland, whew, and I am going to tell you who is responsible. We are. So many people have become complacent thinking someone else will take care of it for us. The idea that your vote doesn't count or it is a little inconvenient to go vote. Sadly, I think it is too late to do much about this. This only way to change it if there is any hope is to elect officials that care enough about the city that they love to make a change. 

The communist stronghold in the USA has been Wa and Or for decades .. Obama's grandparents lived here before moving to liberlized Hawaii and this is where Obama got his first brainwashing then his Islamic teachings came after moving to Hawaii ... your present politicians should be charged with sedition and/or treason when they become dictators .. 

I heard downtown Seattle described as a ghost town this morning.  My nephew lives in Portland, works from home and rarely leaves the house, yet he is a proud Democrat.  That video is very disturbing.

One of my biggest fears for all of us is Joe Biden's promise "no deportations for 100 days" after he takes office.  This leaves our borders open for every criminal on the planet as they know they won't be returned to their countries.  Free health care is a definite plus.  If this doesn't frighten you it should.

exacactly  they keep voting peole in like water peloski    

the ones that can afford it are moving to other states but bring their thoughts with them  look at astin tx  look at atlanta

we need term limits  good luck  we need a cap on poilcal ads money spent   its obscene the $$$ .

its scarey

There's a headliner on the Fox news site right now showing where Big Tech funded a lot of money to the Biden campaign and none to Trump. These are the same people who censor conservatives and why I deactivated my FB account.  Do you really think they're interested in this sick old dude with dementia.  They're looking way deeper than that.

It scares me for my grand kids future.

I just watched the video.  Growing up in the NW and living outside Seattle this is such a shocker to see.  I flew in there in August, but couldn't go downtown because of all the chaos.  

It is just a matter of time before this happens in a lot of cities.  As the one person said, we are loving people to their death.  

The answer to these problems?  Might be as the one man mentioned.  Take over Seattle like they did Tombstone........

But the people we have voted in are too pansy ass to do it.  

I haven't been to Seattle in 20 years.  It was a fantastic city back then.  Incredible really.  Based on those memories and comparing them to the third world anarchy, lawlessness, filth, misery, and squalor, I prefer to hang onto those memories and have no plans to return there, until decent citizens are able to drive out the Marxist progressives and seize control.  In other words, it will be a very long time....if ever.

These people are twisted, evil, and corrupt.  They HATE this country.  Nobody seems to be able to do a dam thing about it.  Soon, the entire country will be this way until we take this seriously.  And for my fellow Texans, if you think we are insulated and protected from these vermin, I have news for you.....we aren't.  They multiply and spread like rats.  

Don't believe me?  When was the last time you visited Austin?  

Such a shame!  I grew up on Whidbey Island and used to love going to Seattle, the waterfront, aquarium, Ivers and the space needle are fond memories.  Last time I was there was about 12 years ago, sad to see how fast the city has decayed.  I wonder how much the decline in some of our major cities has to do with George Soros funded D.A.s?

...and liberal mayors.

I didn't know Austin was having the same problems until I watch a Steven Crwoder Change my Mind. He was in Austin and BLM was yelling and distrupting his show. They wouldnt talk to him, of course. Just yell and intterupt when people would actually talk to him. I think it is happening in every democratic city. It's only going to get worse because they keep voting in more and more liberal people. They will run out anyone who does not agree with what is going on and leave the cities to rot. 

Just read an article about how a City Council member in Seattle who was all about defunding the police and is on the front lines of allowing people to steal if they need it to survive. Of all things, she called the police on someone who threw a rock at her winder and wanted to press charges. Does she not see the hipocrasy is all this!? It makes me so frustrated and I don't even live or visit Seattle. 

I was born and raised in the Seattle area, my family has been in republican politics my whole life.  The situation in the city brings me to tears on a regular basis.  And I have no faith that it will EVER change.  The extreme liberal mentality is simply too deep, and has been for too long.  It's not just the city council and Mayor, it is the judges and prosecutors.  AND, in my opinion, it begins in the schools and colleges.  They are the ones producing the "screamers" and protestors who force their will on these weak elected officials and political appointees.  Just yesterday they took over an empty house and a park and won't allow the police near.  I don't care how moderate or nice a person they are, we should NEVER elect another democrat.  They are simply being bulldozed by the extremists in their party and it is not working out well in states with one party rule.  Like WA, OR and CA.

Well, a good old fashioned revolution now and then is a good thing, wouldn't you say?  It won't take much more to provoke a good old fashioned ass kicking.  They've been provoking it and asking for it for a long time now.  Obviously law enforcement is hamstrung. The judicial system doesn't enforce consequences.  Politicians are hand-wringing pussies.  Businesses are being razed and looted.  Babies are being killed in random shootings.  Political correctness, gender dysphoria studies, hatred of whites has become a fad, along with hatred of conservative blacks.  All that remains is a flash point.  Let the culling begin. 

A reset facilitated by a conservative element within the military would be a nice touch. Count me in.

Now, now.  They have bigger fish to fry than old worn out conservatism.  Get with the program.  The military is in the process of being "reimagined".  That's a popular word these days, you see.  No longer can the military be a meritocracy.  We must now focus on new bold ideas like gender dysphoria, racial quotas, and white fragility. Anyone can plainly see how these new progressive concepts will make our military so much stronger.  After all, in the heat of battle is when these social experiments will bear dividends.  This will make our enemies fear and respect us more, you see.  

I saw some kind of creepy soundbite with John Kerry yesterday who is the new clueless climate change guy in Joe's pathetic cabinet.  He used the word reset and it seemed pretty clear we're all expected to make sacrifices to clean up the world......higher gas prices, utilities, etc.  I hope he's ready to give up his yacht.  We might need that for firewood

If Democrats win both senate seats here’s what they’ll do:

1.) End the filibuster.
2.) Confiscate your weapons.
3.) Completely change the economy.
4.) Pass the Green New Deal, and eventually ban your vehicle, unless it’s electric.
5.) Pack the Supreme Court, and end the independence of the judiciary.
6.) Make courses in “White Fragility” compulsory in schools.
7.) Force taxpayers to pay for college education.
8.) Change the flag by granting statehood to DC and Puerto Rico, and “pack the senate” in the process.
9.) Defund the police, or “reimagine” them, whichever they decide upon.
10.) Open borders.
11.) “Phase out” our energy independence by shutting down gas and oil.
12.) Reparations.
13.) Grant more power to big tech, and turn a blind eye to censorship.
14.) Continue fanning the flames of racism.

In my opinion, the Republican candidates are unimpressive, but those two senate races in Georgia are all that stands in the way of absolute total control of our government, and they will be able to put in safeguards to guarantee it indefinitely.  
Their dream is within grasp. We are looking into the abyss. Biden's selection by the politburo of the Obamunist party was perfect. All they need is complete control of all three branches.  Kamala is waiting.  

Bear, when I visit the pistol range I'm seeing lots of young and middle-aged coming in droves. Until a year or so ago I could walk in and have immediate access to a shooting station. The guys aren't wearing more body ornamentation than their sister and the girls aren't more tattooed than a pirate. These people are conservative, many being ex-military. If the Leftists push too far I think there will be a tipping point. 

Don't forget Congresswoman Talib (a real beauty as Trump would say) has suggested defunding the military by 10% for starters.

Isn't she the one who looks like Yasser Arafat, with lipstick?

That's an insult to Arafat.  She's a rotten antisemitic pig, like a lot of Democrats in the House.  

He's prettier than she is.....

She's the one that as a new Congresswoman who I believe took her oath on the Koran made the "Let's impeach the M.......F......"  i.e. President Trump.  Are Democrats born with all this class or do they acquire it as they go along?

I am disgusted. That is why Inslee needed to go. No one is responsible for anything anymore. I am on the East side of Wa and loved taking weekend trips to Seattle for a little getaway. I ran a marathon there in December of 2018 thru downtown and it wasn't even as bad then. I hate to see what another year looks like.

Seattle may be dying....but not as bad as South Dakota!  Governor is a complete despicable moron. Worst Covid infection rate in the country.  The gullible dying like dogs....

Inslee is a reasonable, scientifically educated man of compassion; traits I surmise the right wing whack jobs that post on this BARREL RACING FORUM would find incomprehensible. 

Why are you here?  Nobody takes you seriously.  Typical snowflake troll posting incendiary comments then running off to hide.  Do the world a favor....pull your lower lip over your face and swallow.

Inslee is not a "scientifically educated" man.  He lasted for one year as an undergrad in pre-med.  He dropped out, went home to live in his mommy and daddy's basement, literally, and eventually got a bachelor's degree in economics.  From there he went on to get a law degree.  Stop lying.  

You seem very streetwise, you must be a "Road Scholar".

So is Portland, OR.  They are still rioting every night.  It's been over 100 days now.  They have taken over most of the city. It is so sad, it was such a beautiful place.

I don't understand how or why they let this continue and say it's their right to protest, when the protest in DC lasted maybe 6 hours, they say how horrible the mob was, and that they were 'terrorists'. And now today, have most of them arrested?  But meanwhile, in Portland, no arrests, they can't identify anyone, and if they do, they go to jail for 5 minutes and the judges give them no fines or jail time.  So hypocritical.   

We are in a sad state of affairs now people.  I'm afraid our lives are going to change forever.....

May God be with you all.

My advice buy more ammo like it or not it's coming.
