It's also how you destroy whatever remaining independent businesses that somehow managed to survive the "lockdowns" and the $15/hour minimum wage.
Businesses with multiple locations can compensate for the costs of these stupid policies because they have other locations that aren't subject to them. Businesses with a single location can't.
I always thought those misguided leftists would one day become my greatest allies, if all I did was wait patiently. Who knows, maybe one day they'll turn on their religion and lash out with a hatred that I could only dream of.
Are they admitting that rehabilitation programmes aren't working? So instead, just ignore it, and let them act like wild, unfettered beasts? Even true "wild animals" get punished for their acts.
There's a restaurant I went to when I used to visit Seattle that put out free coffee on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant for people waiting outside for a table. For a very long time they put out ceramic mugs for people to drink it. But there was a homeless camp nearby and homeless people started drinking the coffee and (presumably) stealing the mugs, so eventually they switched to serving it in paper cups. Then over time they stopped refilling the coffee as much, presumably because the homeless were drinking all the coffee without actually eating at the restaurant. Last time I went there they didn't even have coffee out.
The issue of course isn't that I missed the free coffee but that the city had changed to such an extent that the restaurant no was able to trust the population to take it in the spirit in which it was intended. A little nicety no longer possible thanks to a city deciding to self-destruct.
Ehhh, the "risk to his life" is probably pretty low. Unless he's actually out on the streets in the middle of protest or riot, he's probably not going to get murdered. Most murders aren't random, they occur between criminals, their families and social circles.
Definitely yes if you're black in Seattle. Only about 2-3% of the population is black and as I'm sure you know white liberals are terrified of being caught on camera even just calling the police, let alone trying to prevent shoplifting.
As I read it, this would have decriminalized everything that happened in the Portland CHAZ, were such laws on the books, except the rape and the murder.
Hmmm. Well, since I have medically documented mental health issues, anyone know how to go about renting a container ship? Cause if this passes, I may have to plan a vacation there and I'm going to end up with a LOT of souvenirs.
Too bad the measure was removed. Its too limited in my opinion. They should have went full The Purge. Its the ideal way to make things as bad as possible as fast as possible for white people.

Oh, no, that's the WORST thing to do.

Freedom from responsibility should be the Democratic slogan for most large cities
Sounds like a fun vacation: crime spree through Seattle.
"I'm addicted to video games! I'm not responsible for my actions, officer!"
One of my former friends is stupid enough to move to Seattle now for a Amazon job despite me showing him all of the dangerous shit happening there.
We had many disagreements over politics before but the politics of this year really killed the friendship for good.
No one can help these suicidal morons if they cannot help themselves.
I hope he enjoys Seattle and experiences all of what the city has to offer these days.

Humans abuse everything. Offer them the nicest thing, someone will ruin it by abusing the fuck out of it.
To not abuse things is something that has to be taught .... it doesn't come natural.
I don't think Man is unique in this, BUT there's nothing and no one with a wagging finger and a rolled-up newspaper to say "NO! ENOUGH!"
Sounds like he has a death wish
He was very greedy for Amazon software developer money.
I told him it was not worth the risk to his life.
He ignored my concerns for his wellbeing and made this about my political views and he went full retard.
This year I lost more friends than in 2016.
Chinavirus lockdown propaganda pushed by the media and difference in political views ruined 20+ year long friendships.
Fuck 2020.

So if I say I'm addicted to gambling I can walk into Wal-Mart and just take booster boxes of trading cards?

So if I’m I’m understanding correctly...
Having thanksgiving dinner with ma and pa and brother and sis? BASICALLY A WAR CRIME THAT WILL GET YOU SHUNNED FROM SOCIETY
Stealing shit? TOTALLY COOL
Cop : "Is that an illegal gathering?!"
Citizen : "This... errr, we're looting this turkey."
Cop : "Sorry for opressing the marginalized. Carry on."
"Public Safety Committee"
Sound familiar?
(et tu Robespierre)
this is the same city that allowed a portion of itself to become a lawless zone full of murderers.
In other news, the Boomerwaffen are cracking Antifa skulls in Olympia today
As I read it, this would have decriminalized everything that happened in the Portland CHAZ, were such laws on the books, except the rape and the murder.
Am I reading that wrong?
Nope, you got it.
Outside of the shootings/murders I don't recall anyone charged with a crime in the Seattle Chaz summer of love.
What a shit hole I hope it passes so all these invalids wipe each other out
