According to some on here, this is just a common problem big cities deal with. No fault of the Seattle overlords.

I don't have any sympathy for anyone that lives, works and votes in a liberal city. They voted that crap in and until they have the wherewithal to change the elected leaders to represent their views, live with it or move.

Seems as if they have these utopian scenarios in their head (we call that delusional where I’m from) and when it doesn’t work out anywhere close to what they dreamed up, it’s “oh, I’m a victim! It wasn’t supposed to be like this!”

Woman who Burned Five Police Cars in summer 2020 Black Lives Matter riots using a makeshift Flame Thrower and 'left downtown Seattle in flames and billowing smoke' is Sentenced to Five Years In Prison

A woman who torched five Seattle police cars during a tumultuous protest that heralded a summer of unrest after George Floyd's murder in 2020 was sentenced Tuesday to five years in prison.

Margaret Channon, 26, of Tacoma, used an aerosol can and a lighter as a makeshift flame-thrower to burn the unoccupied, parked police vehicles in downtown Seattle on May 30, soon after officers sprayed tear gas to disperse a massive crowd. For 25 minutes she ran back and forth between the cars, adding fire as necessary to destroy them.

Sickening moment homeless Career Criminal repeatedly throws nurse, 62, down the stairs at Seattle light rail station breaking her ribs and clavicle

A homeless career criminal has been arrested and charged with brutally assaulting a nurse after he was caught on video repeatedly throwing the victim down the stairs at a Seattle light rail station in an unprovoked attack.

Kim Hayes, 62, was on her way to work at Harborview Medical Center around noon on March 2 when the brutal attack took place at the Chinatown-International District station near downtown.

As the longtime health worker was walking up the stairs, she was grabbed by Alexander Jay, 40, and thrown back down the cement steps, according to court documents obtained by DailyMail.com.

The nurse suffered a broken clavicle and three broken ribs. She was rushed to the hospital where she has worked for 25 years, receiving surgery from her colleagues.

The horrific attack comes as Seattle continues to be plagued by crime from homeless encampments that have sprouted in the woke Pacific Northwest bastion. Last week, Amazon announced it would relocate 1,800 workers from its downtown offices over fears for their safety.

Seattle officers are IGNORING reports of Sexual Assault after the woke city council voted for two years in a row to Defund their 'devastated and demoralized' police department

Seattle's police department is so weakened thanks to the woke policies of its city council that it is no longer investigating reports of sexual assault, according to an internal report.

Two members of the embattled police force provided documentation to KUOW showing that last month not a single sexual assault case involving an adult victim was assigned to a detective.

'The Seattle police department sexual assault unit is not at all investigating adult sexual assault reports or cases unless there was an arrest,' said one source inside the force.

Only four detectives handle sexual assault and child abuse cases in Seattle at the moment - an indication of the widespread staff shortage affecting the demoralized force.

Seattle protesters calling for the police to be defunded are pictured marching in August 2020. The following month the city council adopted their call, and police numbers have been falling ever since

Seattle man, 48, is arrested after standing outside Democrat Pramila Jayapal's house with a GUN and 'telling her to 'go back to India' ' - before being Freed due to a 'lack of evidence'

• Jaypal had called 911 to report a man outside hurling obscenities

A Seattle man who was arrested on suspicion of committing a hate crime against Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal has been released from jail because prosecutors say they're still gathering evidence in the case.

Brett Allen Forsell, 48, was arrested outside Jayapal's home on Saturday night, when police say he was standing in the middle of the street with a .40-caliber Glock 22 handgun holstered on his waist.

Jayapal had called 911 to report someone outside her home yelling obscenities, and a neighbor told cops the suspect had been shouting threats and slurs, including 'I'm going to kill you' and 'go back to India.'

King County prosecutors said Seattle police released Forsell on Wednesday because they couldn't say with certainty that he uttered the threats and racial slurs, the Seattle Times reported.

Seattle business owners are installing 1-ton concrete blocks on city streets to prevent some of the 13,300 Homeless people in the Dem-led city from camping out on the sidewalks

Seattle business owners are installing one-ton concrete blocks on the city's streets in a bid to prevent homeless people from camping out on the sidewalks.

The Democrat-led city struggles with a homeless population of nearly 13,300 - exacerbated by the pandemic - and they frequently set up tent camps along the streets.

But the concrete slabs are the way that locals are attempting to curb homeless camps and RVs being planted outside shops - after the city paused parking enforcement during the pandemic.

The blocks are so heavy that they can't be moved without specialized equipment - making them burdensome for the city to remove as they continue to pop up in Georgetown, Ballard and Sodo.

Homelessness is rife in Seattle, and tents pop up in public spaces. The homeless population has grown during the pandemic, pictured in March 2021

There are hundreds of such blocks of the streets of Seattle, but only 25 property and business owners have been warned that they could face fines for not removing the blocks since June 2021

Seattle firefighters 'are being assaulted' and demand city take action after reports of at least 40 attacks on first responders putting out fires at city's growing number of homeless encampments

Firefighters in Seattle have demanded the city take action after they were subjected to more than 40 violent attacks in the past four months - a string of assaults that have been largely carried out by the city's homeless population.

The attacks, which the city’s firefighter’s union says began in May, have seen the protectors repeatedly targeted by the intemperate down-and-outs, often while responding to fires started at the city's growing number of homeless encampments.

One such incident, which transpired last month, saw one fire official pelted with a rock while attempting to put out a blaze that originated from an encampment fire.

Another altercation, in June, saw firefighters chased by a homeless person with a knife while responding to a medical call at one such encampment.

It will lead to more extreme policing than what they had before. Almost as if it's part of their plan.

What DOES she have to hide? Woke ex-Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan is accused of DELETING nearly 200 Texts from Her Phone after letting Anarchists set up Lawless 'CHOP' neighborhood during BLM Riots

Former Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan has been accused in court documents of manually deleting texts related to the lawless CHOP zone created in the city during the 2020 Black Live Matter riots.

According to a new forensic report conducted on behalf of business owners and residents suing the city for its botched response to the riots, Durkan manually deleted nearly 200 text messages in July 2020, around the time CHOP was created.

The anti-cop zone, set up in the ritzy Capitol Hill neighborhood, stood for Capitol Hill Occupied Protest, and was also known as CHAZ (Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone).

Local businesses watched in despair as customers stayed away for fear of violence - while Durkan vocally supported the hellish enclave.

In response to a Donald Trump tweet condemning the area, she tweeted: 'The Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone is not a lawless wasteland of anarchist insurrection - it is a peaceful expression of our community's collective grief and their desire to build a better world. Given his track record, it's not hard to believe that Trump is wrong, yet again.'

She has previously been found to have deleted over 5,000 messages from the time after she changed her settings to automatically delete messages after 30 days.

The new report also concluded that the texts of several other key officials were destroyed in manual phone resets in July 2020, one month after Black Lives Matter protestors took over an area near Capitol Hill and the East Precinct, and set up their own barriers.

Our local "protestors" here aren't quite at Seattle-level stupidity, but they are demanding that our city council decriminalize THEFT.

Is Seattle Finished? Crime-ridden Woke city's Dying Downtown Loses Flagship Nike store and multiplex cinema - as number of homeless people Killed in a year rockets by 122, to an all-time record 310

Crime-ridden Seattle has lost its downtown Nike flagship store and multiplex movie theater as crime runs rampant and the number of homeless people dying soars.

The Rain City's downtown area suffered its latest blow on Friday when the popular Nike store, located at the corner of Sixth Avenue and Pike Street, shut its doors for good.

Nike's exit came right after Regal Cinemas announced it would reject the lease of the Meridian 16 multiplex located on Seventh Avenue and Pike Street.

Trenton Harris, 30, was one of at least 18 homeless people in King County who was murdered in 2022. He was fatally shot four times last July
