Criminal murder is criminal... except in Washington State.

A few days ago, a 32-weeks pregnant woman and her baby were slaughtered in a random shooting in Seattle, a city desperately competing with Portland to become the Chicago of the PNW.

I did a more extensive write up here yesterday that talked about the victims, the shooter and the complete lack of anyone actually giving a damn. No riots. No looting. No police assaults. No roads blocked... focusing on the woman, the baby and her husband, who was also shot but will survive.

Without a family.

I was stunned today to find out that the baby, who was delivered at a local hospital but did not survive, does not have the status of "human being" in this state.

I say that because the alleged shooter, who was black and who slaughtered this mother and her baby, who was Korean, will not, apparently, be charged in the baby's death.

That's right.

This child is dead because of a criminal act perpetrated deliberately by a racist convicted felon who destroyed these people because they were Asian.

This is what the leftist scum in the legislature of this state have done to us.

This.

The perpetrator will likely spend the rest of his life in jail (If there's ANY justice left in this shithole state) but he will not spend a minute behind bars for the murder of that child. I sincerely hope that the leftists who made this happen and allowed it to continue are proud of what they've done.

That's you, Jay Inslee.

That's you, Washington State Senate Democrats.

That's you, Washington State House Democrats.

That child's blood, his life, his father's lifelong anguish?

That's all on you.

Belltown shooting suspect charged in murder of pregnant woman, but no charges in death of baby

Still picture of story from KIRO news

Slow news day: leftists want to blacklash history and cherry pick removal of certain statues. Why stop there?

There's a tiny problem with this.

It's well-known that the democrats were big supporters of slavery and many violently opposed civil rights. A Civil War that cost around 360,000 Union lives to end slavery.  Lynchings, Jim Crow, racial discrimination, "White's Only" signage, back of the bus, school segregation were all democrat tenets.

Even today, they require minorities to remain on the plantation or they attack them savagely... perhaps not physically, but verbally.

Anyone to the right of Lenin who doesn't toe their line is fair game.

For example, democrat state senator Tim Sheldon (WA-D35) has been the recipient of hundreds of thousands spent on other democrats who primaried him. At the national level, Sen. Time Scott (R-SC) and Former Congressman Allen West (FL R-22) were equally savaged by leftist racists and frequently are to this day.

So, I'd amend this woke insanity bill and expand it to eliminate any mention of any democrat who ever held office at the federal level.

Who, for example, could ever forget those hallowed words from President Lyndon Baines Johnson?

“These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don't move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there'll be no way of stopping them, we'll lose the filibuster and there'll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It'll be Reconstruction all over again. [Said to Senator Richard Russell, Jr. (D-GA) regarding the Civil Rights Act of 1957]”

Or:

--In 1947, after President Harry S Truman sent Congress proposals against lynching and segregation in interstate transportation, Johnson called the proposed civil rights program a "farce and a sham--an effort to set up a police state in the guise of liberty."

--In his 1948 speech in Austin kicking off his Senate campaign, Johnson declared he was against Truman’s attempt to end the poll tax because, Johnson said, "it is the province of the state to run its own elections." Johnson also was against proposals against lynching "because the federal government," Johnson said, "has no more business enacting a law against one form of murder than against another."

If you're going to blacklash history, then go all the way. Don't stop at a few simple statues, get rid of the biggest cancer in America today.

Facebook engaging in continued Hunter Biden-like censorship.

I read a story this morning from a website known as "resistthemainstream.com" on the issue of impeachment articles against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

This is what happened when I attempted to link to their story:

Facebook censorship, raw and uncut.

I was well aware that articles of impeachment had, in fact, been filed against the Nondynamic Duo of the worst leadership in the White House that this country has ever known.

So, to get the story out, I googled it and instead, posted a story, substantially the same, from the Western Journal:

I'm confused. As the upper picture shows, Facebook refused to allow this story to be linked, laughingly calling it "spam." They go on to claim that "spam" violates their "terms of Service."

Yet, in a given month, Facebook spams our timelines with literally hundreds of ads.

So, one man's "spam" is another man's revenue, eh?

Count on Mark Zuckerberg to be ever the hypocrite.

A few words on homelessness and government waste addressing it.

This was the response to a comment made as a result of a meme I posted yesterday:

The commenter indicated that a major reason for homelessness today is mental health and our failure to adequately address that as an issue. Her words are heartfelt and actually does describe a large part of the issues confronting society today.

My response:

It's (the homeless situation) a dual edged sword, and you accurately present one edge of that sword.

Some 25 years or so ago, I was on Legislative staff in Olympia. The mental health system in this state (WA) was fare more extensive and robust back then.

While I was there, the ACLU was busy in court attacking the criteria used to force mental health commitments.

Ultimately, they were successful and in this day and age, the criteria has been reduced to a very simplistic "threat to self and/or others" standard.

The issue is, what does "threat" mean, exactly?

The legal definition of that word, over time, has been watered down so much that it's become increasingly less possible to qualify for forced commitment into a mental health facility.

Fewer commitments=fewer facilities.

Mental health problems are a substantial factor in homelessness.  But the overwhelming issue is illegal drug dependency.

Oregon, with their idiotic passage of I-110 is a case in point.

Since the passage of that initiative, homelessness has exploded in Oregon. SO have overdoses, primarily due to fentanyl/ Tranq is looming on the horizon as a major driver as well. 

Legislatures in both WA and OR and actually, around the country for the most part, have refused to take the decisive action needed to quantitatively address this problem. The disgrace of the last special session in Olympia, which will fail to have any meaningful impact on the numbers of corpses stacking up at the King County Medical Examiner's office, (which he's loudly complained about) is a case in point.

Rehab facilities are at an all-time low in comparison to the numbers addicted. Additionally, commitment to drug treatment is voluntary at this point, so governments are setting up different kinds of warehousing for homeless drug addicts to hide their stashes of stolen property used to pay for these drugs and shoot up/smoke/snort their drugs in private with no accountability for the user vis drug testing as their goal is merely to get them off the street while getting them OFF drugs remains a non-goal in comparison.

Addressing this issue will require multiple approaches. Because the indisputable reality is that nothing we're doing now is making this issue "better." and no amount of money spent under these conditions will result in any meaningful difference.

"Where's the outrage?" Independent journalist in Seattle, Jonathan Choe asks the question that needs to be asked.

Day before yesterday, a woman and her unborn child were slaughtered in cold blood while in downtown Seattle at 4th and Lenore St. Her husband was also hit by gunfire in what appears to be a random attack.

Did you hear anything about it? Not on the news media I didn't. (Disclaimer, I didn't review ALL news media to be sure, but imagine...)

The woman and child? Asian American. The husband? Asian American.

The shooter?

Black.

(Imagine the news coverage had the family shot up by this convicted felon been black and the shooter white?)

The utterly clueless shell of a city mayor, Bruce Harrell, insists there's no known motive.

Does anyone with a functioning synapse remotely believe he'd be saying that had the races been exchanged for Black victims and a whiter perpetrator? 

Imagine the landscape of Seattle last night had the victims been Black and the murderer white. The riots would have started instantaneously.

The better part of two years ago, Asians in America found themselves under assault. Serious injury and death were the all-too-frequent result.

And "white supremacists" bore the blame.

Except for one minor detail: the perpetrators were almost uniformly black.

In this instance, stunningly enough. a 30 year old convicted felon has been arrested for this horrific crime.

For his part, Mayor Harrell, clearly in over his head at least as much as Portland's clueless nimrod, Ted Wheeler, began tap dancing like Fred Astaire.

There is, of course, a vast difference between what he said in the quote, (provided by Chloe and on video) and reality. "What motivated it" was racial hatred. But the alleged perpetrator was inconveniently not white, which would make stating the truth just a tiny bit awkward for the uber-leftist mayor.

"Very sad?" That's an understatement right up there with claiming the Titanic was a rowboat. The slaughter of innocents is beyond sad. The silence as to the true motivation of these outrages in cowardly politics at its worst.

Quick to point fingers as so many on the left in the media do when the perpetrator is a white, straight, male; leftist authorities and leftist media types frequently engage is this variety of muted response in the face of blood spilled by those almost universally portrayed as victims to further the left's meme. The suspect, one Cordell Goosby, who claims to be living somewhere in Seattle, has a felony conviction for "Aggravated Unlawful Use of a Firearm" in Cook County, Il in September of 2017.

So far, Goosby has been charged with 2 counts of homicide, 1 count of assault and one count of unlawful possession of a firearm. Choe does his usual thorough job of investigative reporting and I urge the reader to follow him on twitter and Facebook or other social media platforms.
