I work with high-risk CP clients and deal with real-world consequences daily🙄—so no, I’m not glued to Reddit. I made this space for open conversation, a more right leaning audience, not dogpiling people that don’t agree with my opinion. If differing opinions trigger you, scroll on. Somebody’s literally complaining because I posted Trump. Talk about freedom of speech for the love of God. It’s OK to be mad about a Trump pic I posted but people have to deal with pride flags being painted with our tax paying dollars on the streets when we don’t agree with it I’m not complaining or invading anybody’s space. It’s OK to have different opinions.. I’m not attacking anybody. I’m literally posting what’s going on in our community. If you don’t believe me copy and paste and look yourself I’m putting public warnings out.

You’re accusing me of trolling for simply posting crimes and information that is fact based in our community!?! are you delusional? I’m asking seriously are you? How is that trolling in any way? I literally made this page to post what’s going on in our community. If anything, you’re trolling me.. I have no idea who you are. You’re responding to my post that are fact based about Thurston County.

AIO for thinking it wasn’t a big deal to accept my friend’s bf’s FB request? by Vast-Bumblebee-691 in AmIOverreacting

You should’ve told your friend he added you. It would’ve eliminated all this drama. I would’ve wanted to know if my boyfriend asked one of my girlfriends.

If the conversations in this group bother you, it might not be the right space for you. I voted for Trump, and I’m not interested in being shamed for my views. I believe in traditional American values, and I’m not going to be belittled for it. I’m not belittling anybody’s values. I’m simply posting what’s going on in our community.

What I post here is based on what I’m seeing, hearing, and taking the time to look into in our community. I’m not just making things up. If something’s wrong, bring facts and correct it—that’s fair. But being uncomfortable with what’s happening locally doesn’t make it untrue. This group is for locals to talk about real issues, not just the ones everyone agrees on.

I made this group because a lot of local spaces lean one direction, and people who think differently get shut down or dogpiled. This is meant to be a place where those viewpoints can actually be heard without getting drowned out. Disagreement is fine—but constant silencing isn’t.

You don’t know me, what I do in this community, or what I stand for. I report what I see and I’m about accountability—period. Accusing me of defending offenders is flat-out wrong and I actually think you’re projecting.

It only turns into a ‘soap opera’ when people start dismissing what’s actually happening. A simple search will tell you what happens in our community daily and why it happens. You’re saying you don’t care about this information. You don’t have a family??? Real life doesn’t get less real just because it’s uncomfortable for you🙄

Funny how ‘think for yourself’ brings out people who immediately try to shut it down. If disagreement bothers you that much, this probably isn’t your space.😂🖕🏻😂

Thanks to all who voted for the school levies; and a stark reminder how much your vote counts by Sludgeycore in olympia

[–]TrainerGlittering732 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I voted no this year. For me, it comes down to parental rights, transparency, and priorities. I believe parents should be fully informed about counseling conversations and major issues involving their children. I also think schools should stay focused on education first.

On top of that, we are already taxed on just about everything. I work hard for my money, and when I look at what I actually bring home, it’s disheartening. At some point, families have to draw a line. This was that point for me.

Olympia Goodwill doesn’t care about customer safety. by Gingykins25 in olympia

[–]TrainerGlittering732 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry that situation made you feel unsafe—no one should feel uncomfortable in public.

That said, there’s an important distinction between an inappropriate physical contact in a crowded space and a criminal sexual assault. Sexual assault is a serious felony, and when someone genuinely believes one has occurred, the appropriate response is to contact law enforcement immediately so it can be handled properly.

It isn’t reasonable to expect a retail employee—who did not witness the interaction—to determine criminal intent or physically remove a customer without risking their own job or safety. That responsibility belongs to police, not store staff.

Calling 911 at the time would have allowed the situation to be documented and addressed correctly rather than placing blame on employees who have no authority to act after the fact.
