FREEDOMLESS IN SEATTLE (Karen give this to your mayor)
Freedom is a thing gone by in Seattle in my opinion and their mayor and police are out of control. I'm glad I don't live there because chances are I'd be in jail right now.
When the WTO was disrupted by protesters and the police closed down the streets, I saw video of a woman being pushed around by police. She said that she was not a protester but lived in Seattle and had a right to be on her streets.
She is the reason I'd be in jail. If I were there I would of punched that cop's lights out. I was raised not to let a woman be pushed around and I'd fight for someone else's rights (that's called being an American). She had a right to be on that streets as it was not a Marshall law situation. The police were out of control.
Now the mayor (who is also out of control) has cancelled the New Year's party for Seattle.

Throw a party at The Needle after 6 PM and the same police will bounce you, if not rough you up and take you to jail (as they recently did to countless people recently).
What the hell is going on in Seattle? You give up an age old American custom just because of the threat of kooks? That's the world these days chicken $hit mayor, deal with it.
I'm glad I don't live in Seattle, I think it is a police state, it sure acts like one. Times Square of the Pacific my a$$.
