Let's be Washington State

I'm the 80 year old dog walker who died while trying to save her dogs, after getting beaten and run over by the car jacker.

Oh, and I'm the 80 year old woman's dog who got stabbed to death in the car by the carjacker.

I'm the 11 year old black boy from Bellingham who got punched in the face by a racist, during a school field trip.

And yes, this happened in front of the city's police station.

I'm Zombie Ann Rule.

I'm the Chef on his way home from work, who got stabbed to death at Seattle's Capitol Hill light rail station.

I’m the white people committing most of the crime in this country, then railing against “ILLEGALS!!!!” who don’t commit much crime in this country.

I'm grunge music and heroin

I'm the guy fast asleep on a city bus, who gets shot to death by a 17 year old.

I didn't even know what happened, or why he shot me.

Thank God I'm dead now.

I'm the woman on Seattle's light rail train, caught on camera smashing another rider in the face with a partially filled sports drink bottle.

I’m the stories about where Ted Bundt used to pick up victims and who met him.

I’m Twin Peaks

I'm downtown Seattle, where the sidewalks are full of drug addicts and smell like piss.

Patriot Ryan Lemay was cute.

The poor kid who got his throat slashed was only 19.

What a shame.

My violent crime rate is #23. Cut me some slack, true crime bitches.

I’m returning to Boston!

I'm the locked store shelves at the only Target left in the city.

There’s more than one target

Holy shit, I’m from there. Last time I was there was 1978. Haven’t been back. But shit, is it that bad? Water skiing,,scuba diving, skiing, boating,, hiking.

I'm the road ranger on the side of the freeway, trying to kill the guy who cut me off.

Luckily, the cop killed me first!

I'm the 18 year old dickwad driving at 112 mph through an intersection in Renton, killing four people, including a mom and her two kids.

I've had three serious speeding crashes already, but I was lucky enough to get out of them without any repercussions.

Washington teen driver fatal intersection speeding

I’m Walla Walla!

The OP's perp was a Florida Man.

Washington is horrible now, R17.

Not at all the same as it was 20 or 30 years ago.

I’m the vague state/county booze fee (it’s a tax) that swoops in on your bill after allllll the other taxes are listed. I’m about 30% of the advertised price.

I’m also the drug tourists nodding off under the Space Needle.

I’m the child in a Meth cooking family that has 13 horses 35 cats children me and my sister. We don’t go to school and work for dad. He uses me as a drug mule and for sex favors to his better customers. He’s definitely voting for Trump. He’s dads hero.

I’m the deep fried kool-aid wings in oreo batter.

I'm the $18 bottle of liquor, which costs $30 after taxes.

I’m Mt St Helen’s.

I'm an apple.

I'm former residents of Portland who've moved to Vancouver to escape state income tax, then drive back to Portland to shop in order to escape state sales tax.

I'm the Cascadia Subduction Zone, ready to liquify half the state, and send it sliding into the ocean.

This is one of the weirdest threads on DL today. Probably just two people.

The fact is, Washington is gorgeous, very liberal, and filled with great people. And a great university. Sure, there are some issues, like any state, but all in all, it's got to be one of the nicest in the country.

Of course it's not that bad, r17. This thread is full small town types who think gruesome anecdotes are the same thing as crime statistics.

I'm ashy bottom Mt. St. Helens, bitches!!!!!!

[quote] This thread is full small town types who think gruesome anecdotes are the same thing as crime statistics.

That doesn't make these multitude of incidents, any less true.

R19 Complexion for the protection.

I'm all the unmarked graves of Ted Bundy victims that were never identified.

I think it's all the gray skies that makes Washington people crazy.

I’m the green field on the state flag.

I'm Here Come The Brides!

I'm Seattle's Unending Drug Crisis

The irony of Seattle calling itself "The Emerald City" when it was founded on logging and coal and has very little tree cover to speak of is too precious.

You can smoke fentanyl?

[quote] You can smoke fentanyl?

You can do anything you want in the "Emerald City."

It's completely lawless.

I'm the cyber attack that just hit Seattle's only airport.

Seattle doesn’t feel dangerous at all. Even the more sketchy suburbs are fine.

R46 is forrgetting the mean streets of Tacoma, or the gangs that run downtown Olympia.

[quote] Seattle doesn’t feel dangerous at all

You have got to be kidding.

Clearly, you haven't been there recently.

Another bus passenger shot and killed today.

Any time someone uses KOMO as a source, the thread dies. That’s a suburban station that scares your granny with pictures of black people.

I'm the 15 year olds on a carjacking crime spree in Renton.

I'm the ROAD RAGER, running people over in Seattle's Pike Place Market.

I'm the 13 year old girl leaving the Food Court at Alderwood Mall, and then getting shot by a 16 year old boy who was fighting with another boy.

I'm the two people in a car, shot at a local scenic lookout spot.

I go to Seattle a few times a year. I never go to Tacoma or Olympia so I don’t know what they’re like but I’ve always felt safe in Seattle. I’ve been to burien a few times and it does feel a lot more sketchy but I’m not scared.

R55 I think that one of the scariest things about Seattle is that all of these murders happen at the most random places and times.

On a bus, at a train station, in a mall, on the freeway.

It's bizarre.

And it's not necessarily about where you feel safe, because it can happen anywhere at any time in the city.

There are a LOT of crazy people in Seattle. Drugged out, methed out, crazy people.

I’m the Real Seattleite test. Do you remember the Blue Angels from your childhood? Did you ski on Snoqualmie and do you remember Warren Miller movies? Have you gone through the locks in a boat and tied up on the Lake Washington log boom to watch the hydros? Do you have a PCC membership? Do you remember the Bubbleator? What about that time William Shatner was supposed to be the King of the Seafair parade and he never showed?

Seattleites take being local Very, Very Seriously.

Let’s be the progressive game plan for the entire country.

I'm the Trans person working the deli counter at Kroger's, with NO sense of humor and a horrible fucking attitude.

I'm the complete absence of chain restaurants and Wal-Mart in the entire city of Seattle.

One McDonald's, no Burger King, Jack-in-the-Box, Wendy's, Sonic, KFC, Popeye's, or Wal-Mart.

NOT ONE.

We're not only the most expensive city in the Northwest, but we also don't WANT you to be able to afford anything, either.

I'm from Tacoma, R57, and just think -- we may have been on the Bubbleator together!

BEST OF WASHINGTON STATE DRIVERS | 30 Minutes of Road Rage, Car Crashes

R60 WTF are you talking about? There's like 15 McDonald's within city limits. And, Burger King, Wendys, Jack in the Box, KFC all have multiple outlets within the city. No Popeyes within city limits or Sonic (which only just started in the area in the last few years) but that's what the burbs are for.

And, outside the south/midwest, many major cities don't have Wal-marts IN the city but out in the burbs.

Also: "we"? Judging by the nonsense you posted, you obviously don't actually live here.

So much horseshit on this thread and all fingers point to either Trumper types or professional shit stirrers for this thread who love to create the image that the "big liberal hippie stronghold" is an anarchic warzone. Far from it. Seattle is the capitol of bland, white bread crime...for a major metropolitan area, we have very low murder rates. Pointing out random awfulness (which every big city has) isn't really indicative of the city as a whole.

I'm a half eaten box of Aplets & Cotlets in the car on the way to the Mt. St. Helens Visitors Center.

I'm offender, from FLORIDAH

[quote] He is from Florida, where he was convicted in 2006 of lewd or lascivious battery.

This guy was from FLORIDA.

I'm the state that remains in the top tier nationally for most quality of life indicators because of our Spokane-do attitude. We're not a bunch of Spokant's from states where you'll hear "Warshington" more often than Washington.

R61, wasn’t the Bubbleator great? I was positive that was how the future would look.

I'm the I-5 shooter, randomly firing at cars on the freeway, injuring 6 people.

I did it, just because.

Random shooting spree that lasted over two hours, while he was driving his car.

How nice.

I'm the ferry workers who don't come to work, crippling the passenger ferry service for thousands of people who commute to and from Seattle via ferry.

Blue state = Boris “such the liberal state also acoplytsing”

I'm Dr. Niles Crane

I’m West Seattle…a little played out but still nice and overlooked by most tourists.

I’m one of the best Whole Foods knock offs in the country: PCC Community Markets

I’m the person hiking up her dress and pissing right in front of the PCC Market.

BORIS!

I'm the leasing companies artificially fixing prices in Seattle, causing rents to skyrocket.

I'm the serial killers

I'm the 'bump' carjackings on I-5.

I'm the 56 year old cyclist who was attacked by a mob of teenagers, and whose head was kicked in "like a soccer ball."

I’m KGT - I live here. Allegedly. Depending on which sock puppet I’m using today.

Poor R81 has absolutely no life.

Do you even know how pathetic you sound, stalking another Datalounger around this website, like some sort of psycho "Single White Female?"

You are very, very, very sad.

I'm the weird Top Two electoral system where everyone is an independent and runs on the ballot with a party preference that the candidate gets to fill in. I allow for ballots with candidates preferring the GOP Party, the Democrat Party, a Good Party, the Birthday Party etc. I also allow for races with among candidates of the same party, locking everyone else out. I was created cause the previous Blanket Primary system was ruled unconstitutional. I think I'm so trendy.

You're the person defending it, R82.

I’m this article about some murder

I’m one of those vans from the 1980s with a whole manifesto on the side that’s been sitting on your street for a month now. No one seems to live in it or drive it.

LOL, Amateurs!

I'm the indigenous people's curse set upon the land that will never let up.

I'm Christopher Columbus' diary. While I am self-serving I do not show the moral insensitivity people say.

It looks beautiful, I had no idea it was so shitty.

Washington State has always been a backwoods shithole.

The fact that Microsoft, Amazon and Boeing have set up shop there, has not changed this fact.

If they had set up headquarters in West Virginia, the people there would still be West Virginians.

Same goes for Washington State.

Crazy ass redneck motherfuckers, surrounded by tech bros and coffee shops.

I'm the hundreds of raccoons who won't let the woman who feeds them, out of her house.

I'm the young guy who slit the throats of his 16 and 17 year old half-brothers in Poulsbo, Washington this week.

I'm the 20-something woman shot and killed outside a Seattle bar over the weekend.

Oh, and then I'm the two people shot while attending a vigil for the young woman, held the next day.

I'm the family of five killed in their home by a teen, in a Seattle suburb.

I’m the fish mongers in a Levi’s commercial. Some of us still work there.
