"A Seattle police report says the racist messages were posted to social media or shared via text message. Now the department is investigating the messages as a possible felony."

Just let that sink in. A FELONY for politically-incorrect speech.

"Car drives out of parking lot, into a house" In a later interview, the car stated that it inexplicably lost control of itself.

“I’d go straight into the grocery store,” Kevin, a Safeway shopper on Capitol Hill, said. “It doesn’t concern me at all. I gotta eat.”

Agreed, and any thuggish attempts at intimidation or ANY attempt to block my legal entrance into the store or harass me in ANY way in the parking lot will be met with the sort of response that will make any belligerent Union thug wish that he/she had stayed at home.

My real concern is not for myself but for elderly and timid folks who may be frightened away by loudmouthed, tough-talking Union thugs and perhaps prevented from getting essential food items or medications from the pharmacies in these stores. There are a LOT of people who live in areas where "going to a different store" is simply not possible due to their lack of mobility and the distances involved....or perhaps they simply aren't aware of any other options than the local store they've been going to for 20+ years.

Any injuries or deaths due to a person being frightened to enter one of these stores will be blood upon the Union's hands, but of course they will never admit any responsibility or show any slight concern.

"Why is banning the first thing liberals think of when trying to solve a problem?"

Because Totalitarianism is the primary foundation of the Left. Government is the Left's religion, and because Government can't appeal to the better aspects human nature and morality as real religions do, everything is based upon Government control over other peoples' lives. A physical object is used improperly by a tiny minority of people even though it benefits hundreds of millions who use it properly? Ban it. People of different cultures and sexual orientations not getting along? Place them into groups & classes, pit them against each other, and legislatively favor those groups who embrace a Leviathan Government steamrolling over their opponents.

Leftism is perfect for those who are on the losing side of an argument and don't have the integrity to admit it when they're wrong and change their opinions. For the thin-skinned and weak of mind, it's far easier to use the cudgel of Government to force things to happen rather than to make a solid, thoughtful and logical case for it. The only thing that needs to be done for so many is to shrilly project an emotional outrage, regardless of the facts involved, and Government will rush to their rescue. Liberalism is truly the religion of the infantile....just scream, stamp your feet and demand that Big Brother come to your rescue.

As long as the City continues in its current trajectory of being soft on crime, being aggressively anti-law-enforcement, embracing and encouraging illegal immigrants (Seattle is a "sanctuary city") and belligerently attacking law-abiding gun owners with obviously-unconstitutional firearms restrictions this trend of people feeling unsafe will only continue. These policies are a direct reflection of the ideologies of the dominant Leftist voting public here and will doom Seattle to follow Detroit down the path to ruin, albeit at a slower pace due to Unions not being quite as powerful here as they are on the East coast. Voting matters, and if there is an interest in making the City safer it starts with the public rejecting the failed liberal ideas and embracing the ideas that have been shown over time to actually work.

Since this is not likely to happen, the City will continue to hemorrhage businesses and intelligent high-earners, and the tax base will suffer accordingly. One of the primary roles of Government is in providing public safety, and Seattle's dominant voting demographic eagerly votes against politicians who embrace this basic concept.

Michael, in this case the perpetrators demonstrated a willful, immediate and dire threat to the lives and safety of others as a result of their assaulting the homeowner and tying him up. Lacking any other aspects to the case, the homeowner would ordinarily be entirely justified in using lethal force if he were simply a decent, law-abiding homeowner minding his own business, as he is protecting others from immediate harm by stopping these thugs and the threat that they represent to the community.

That being said, this does indeed sound like a drug deal gone bad as Skip mentioned and there is probably a LOT that is being left out of this story. The homeowner may not have much of a leg to stand on as a result in his own criminal involvement with this matter.

This is all irrelevant. The only thing that matters is which team has the hotter cheerleaders. ;-)

Hello Erin,

One line in your story here that you may wish to revisit is this one:

"The Veyron goes 0-60 MPS in 2.5 seconds. "

The Bugatti is certainly a fast car, but I'll wager that even its makers will not lay claim to it being able to travel at sixty miles per second. I'm guessing that MPH (miles per hour) is what you're looking for.

If my assumptions are wrong and the article is correct as it stands, then I'm hoping that NASA and Boeing might consider doing some networking with the Bugatti folks so that we might be able to get to Mars just a tad quicker.

Have a nice day :-)

Given the frequent reports of groups of thugs interfering with police and EMS operations and investigations when the subject of the investigation involves one of their own or perhaps only because it occurs in "their 'hood" , I'm guessing that at first there'll be a celebration for her, much like the footage we saw from certain areas of the Middle East (and the USA) immediately after 9/11. Naturally, there will be no news coverage of this and any videos that make it online will be quickly taken down by politically-correct site operators and those terrified of being called 'racist'.

After the initial crack party, LaTanya will find protection and adoration from the same 'community' that has no problem with unleashing the Black Panthers on a "white hispanic" man who was legally protecting himself from a thug who was sitting on him and beating his head on the pavement. Regardless of the trial's outcome, Mr. Zimmerman and anyone who looks like him will have to spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder whereas LaTanya will become a respected icon.

If certain 'community leaders' truly cared about their constituency, this is what should concern them most, but sadly it doesn't, and so the cycle will continue until there are no decent, upstanding people left in their communities at all.

It's amazing that it took them sixteen years of being the laughingstock of serious journalists and thoughtful viewers everywhere, with the expected abysmal ratings, to discover and react to the obvious.

Actually it's not amazing if the breathtaking arrogance and condescension of the vast majority of MSNBC's 'prompter readers represent their management's obtuse natures as well.
