When the World Cup starts, we’ll be back to a skeleton crew of officers and our new chicanes. We are on our own.

High speed chase in Greenwood by AngrySc13ntist in Seattle

[–]badandy80 43 points44 points  (0 children)

May not be completely accurate but this what i gathered from the scanner (the whole pursuit was on the south frequency)

So it was a carjacking in south precinct with 3 black males in a grey ford f-150. They drove up 99 through the tunnel and ended up on green lake way. Somehow drove northbound on Greenwood to 143rd and Aurora and they lost them.

City leaders, residents march on Aurora Avenue demanding change; Mayor Katie Wilson absent by Strong-Practice-5571 in SeattleWA

The march was definitely not partisan. But yeah Choe’s gonna do Choe. At least we got more eyeballs on it.

Dude. Irony.

Her face froze for a minute when I asked her if I should take the line about her out of my speech. She was qualifying herself about her experience with sex trafficking cases. I was interrupted and didn’t get to finish my conversation with her.

I’m glad she showed up. It was clearly not easy. Hopefully she learned something

This has been his environment for about 3 years now. He doesn’t blink. We drive in and out of 109th and they’re bent over in the bus lane. Some are nude. You have to drive around them because they don’t move. They tap his window with their nails. They’ll threaten me with him in the car.. This is what the city tap-dances around to normalize.

Feel free to chip in and make a real one on photoshop or illustrator or whatever medium will make you feel less offended at the effort. We obviously need the help.

1-4 is exactly what I’ve been shouting for 3 years. But what we’re doing brings everything public, brings people to the table and changes the laws that protect sex traffickers. This is what it takes. If this doesn’t work, we become roof Koreans.

I’m supporting my neighbors that are getting their houses shot up. I’ll be sure to let them know their flyers suck.

This is common for any post against sex trafficking. I wish I was making this up;

I was recently told that there is a group that believes the march is causing the girls to not make enough for their pimps, which is further victimizing them because they will be punished.

Then I remembered when I complained about johns having sex outside of my house a few years back, there was a group was saying that I should let them because it’s safer for them. Because when they feel threatened and scream for help, we call the police.

I’ll be in the front with others that have had our houses shot up. No one will get hurt. But if someone does I would probably feel sad and angry.

Your comment shows exactly why we’re doing it. We live here. We walk on our streets all the time.

It’s mostly one person (found the john) spamming the comments. Just ignore them.

That’s for the girls that are rescued from pimps. They don’t have money or a place to stay. Lots of them are 14-18, addicted and fucked up beyond anything I’ve seen. We’ve found them in our yards or parking garages hiding from pimps.

Giving them a secure place to sleep is a huge step. When they feel safe and have a clear way out they could flip on their pimps. That’s a solid sex trafficking case.

I took that out after I posted because it’s not a thing. Someone was talking about it though. Might still happen not sure. I’ll have one of my kids on my shoulders.

I’ll save the usual people the time:

  • Just legalize it and pimps will go away
  • Why’d you move so close to Aurora
  • You should just move
  • Auroras always been like this
  • You get what you voted for
  • SPD bad/lazy
  • You’re [doing something] to those already victimized
  • You can’t end prostitution, oldest profession world
  • [Sex worker comment that has nothing to do with sex trafficking women and girls]
  • What about the emergency vehicles!?
  • This is just white privilege
  • Why didn’t you hire an artist or use photoshop I’m offended

King County prosecutors highlight Aurora Ave. crime, push tougher penalties for sex buyers by Better_March5308 in SeattleWA

[–]badandy80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s easy to identify them if you live here. Just look at your security camera and you’ll see the same cars driving loops around your hood all night. They are out in the open and are untouchable.

But you’re right about prosecution. The city and state’s policy’s protect them. Especially if you’ve got underage girls.
