quote:

"The UW administration has yet to launch an investigation [...] despite the fact that bringing a firearm onto campus violates the Student Conduct Code."

How about SHOOTING A PERSON ON CAMPUS, does the Student Conduct Code mention anything about that?

One of my roommates is a dark skinned person who studies at UW and they are starting to get genuinely scared.

Can someone get in touch with UW and ask them, now that Milo has, again, come out in favor of pedophilia, if they'd be comfortable welcoming him on campus to support free speech or whatever.

I just wear my normal clothes, but like its too much stuff to have to worry about everything. I like to go to protests light as it is and carrying a backpack full of medic stuff and a camera is just a bit much. Maybe I'm just a wimp.

Cameras will scare them way more than medics. Plus, they'll inevitably overreact and pull out a piece. At which point the cops will arrest them.

"You're gunna break it!"

From what i understand aiming a firearm at someone else outside of law enforcement is a crime in Washington so this isnt exactly a stand your ground scenario unless you're a student at UW apparently.

It's a crime basically everywhere in PNW (even Idaho) to brandish a weapon, which means the instant one of these assholes pulls a gun the cops will move on them. Mostly because the chucklefuck with the gun is an immediate danger to the cop, admittedly.

Inslee would be an okay President. A bit business friendly for my taste, but is willing to raise taxes when revenue is needed. Not bad considering the lack of politicians who are willing to stand up to Trump.
I don't think he will run through.

Jay Inslee is definitely okay, but given the national need to push democrats further left, I don't think he's the guy.

The group is angry about police response to Friday’s anti-Trump protests. Police said their actions were in response to protesters who threw “rocks, bottles, flares and unknown liquids,” at officers dressed in riot gear.

In response to the calls for his termination, Marshman said, “I’m not going to resign.”

The chief told KOIN 6 News he was “surprised” they called for his resignation. He’s been managing local protests for 26 years and said he always deploys the least amount of forces possible for protests.

As the cameraperson walks forward, Marc can be seen facing toward the protester line in a dark leather jacket with a brown hoodie underneath (0:08 in the video). The camera then pans and follows him as he walks toward Elizabeth (0:13).

That's a bit of a stretch. The actual quote was that the fed will be looking into states which go against federal laws, and that because of the opioid epedemic among white people, they will be cracking down on recreational marijuana (although there was also some mumble mumble about how they totes think it's a legit medical drug).

So they're totally for states rights to individually decide to ban trans people from bathrooms, and totally against states' rights when the federal government's administration disagrees.

Don't worry, they'll find a legal way to make it only apply to black people.

Also it's worth pointing out that "states' rights" is a boilerplate smokescreen for both sides. We need progressive policy and we want it to come from Federal sources but we're quick to rely on local policy when we need to.

I'm not trying to pull some South Park "both sides are dummies get on my level" bullshit here, it's just that we need to understand that these arguments over jurisdiction are never the actual thing in dispute. It's usually poo poo like basic loving human rights.

We demand to be taken seriously

(Cross posting from Seattle Regional thread):

Rep. Dave Reichert, who proudly wrote a book about his involvement in catching the Green River Killer (basically letting him roam free for 20 years until DNA testing came along), former president of WA State Sheriff's Association, and Air Force veteran, cited safety concerns in his refusal to meet with constituents. Instead he hosted a virtual town hall on FB, which is just as good.

quote:

During a Facebook Live interview Thursday afternoon with veteran KCTS 9 journalist Enrique Cerna, Reichert held firm on his opposition to holding a traditional town hall.

“They’re not productive,” Reichert said. “It’s just a moment that people, some people — not all — some people want to use to voice their opinions sometime in a very loud, very rude and obscene way.”

He said he would continue to answer phone calls and hold small group meetings, but that he also had security concerns for his staff when it came to town halls.
