The murder of Ms. Benson was horrifying, an unarmed victim, trapped in her own office, unable to escape or fight back against the defendant’s rage and blade. Equally terrifying was the defendant’s willingness to violently attack others who came to Ms. Benson’s assistance.”

Too bad none of them were exercising their second amendment rights....

Are there any stand your ground or castle doctrine laws in Seattle? What are the laws in regards to open/concealed carry? I'd be surprised if the same city trying to eliminate police, also allowed their citizens to arm themselves.

A couple years ago a "right wing" wing reporter was attacked by Antifa in Seattle. He managed to get away and they started chasing him. He drew a pistol and continued to retreat.

He was charged and convicted of 12 or so counts of brandishing/ threatening with a deadly weapon (or something along those lines).

social worker holds up hand in U shape. Cries and runs away when Darth Vader's tactics do not work in real life

Oh gee replacing the police with social workers is off to such a strong start.

Seattle takes the cake for most braindead city leadership. That says a lot considering there are so many fully Democrat controlled shitholes these days.

important to note that this appears to be a mentally ill dude's random attack on an office worker.

NOT "we sent a social worker instead of a policeman and they died".

seattle is still retarded but the more details like this we miss the more retarded we also are.

Given that Seattle hasn't actually replaced it's police force, that it happened during normal social work is already the default assumption. No reason to think that's a "missed detail" just because it wasn't spelled out explicitly in the title.

It does still illustrate that general social workers are not trained, equipped, or selected to be able to defend themselves, and that's not going to change in a reasonable timeframe.
