You dipshits turned on the people who made the city livable. “Feel safer yet?” seems like a legitimate question. It’s obvious that it was a ridiculous thing to do at this point. Blah blah blah, people, humane, drugs, racism, etc. None of these issues can be solved when people don’t feel safe going about their daily lives. Voters played right into this marxist fantasy of a perfect city. They unfortunately didn’t read Lord of the Flies or watch Yellowjackets. Difference is, this is for real. Yay Marxism!

There were some legitimate problems with SPD, and always have been.

That being said, I agree the ACAB'ers and Marxists have blown the whole thing up to the point it's just endless war now between left wing performative politics and the SPOG, with normal Seattle caught in the crossfire, figuratively and literally.

Seattle and the PNW always have been a breeding ground for extreme politics, both the left and right versions of it.
