I hope Seattle runners already got in your miles today! Mayor imposes 5 p.m. curfew.

In addition the owner of the property released video they had of a number of people that stopped by and looked at the construction. No one had stolen anything and no one pursued those people. They only chose to detain the 25 year old black man who did the exact same thing as all the others. It's Georgia, lots of racists there as well as Republicans so it's not surprising.

Some good points were raised, but "some things don't change in the south" is probably spot on with his username. The point I was trying to make is the color of your skin is going to alter how situations turn out for you 100% no matter where you in this country. In the same locale I'll get positive comments regarding me running through the neighborhood. I would never not run somewhere just because someone made me feel uncomfortable or harassed. I mean hey runners are used to being heckled with mildly offensive comments all the time.

At the end of the day though, thief or not, no one should be murdered on the street and it begets basic logic to say he was not murdered for any other reason than the color of his skin.

I ran in Magnuson park (in NE Seattle) yesterday after 5pm. Nobody was there. I don't think I was a threat to anyone except a few rabbits who scurried out of my way on the trails.

I actually didn't know at the time that the curfew applied to the entire seattle area. It boggles my mind how the entire city area was on curfew. I understand the main parts of downtown and business areas but I'm like 6 miles from the "action".

When writing this I just got an emergency alert on my phone. Another curfew after 5pm. today Well, could I really be hassled for running on the Burke at 6pm?

I heard the same alert a few minutes ago. And that;s sayin's something because i heard it over the really loud Live Ramones i;m listening to on my headphones.

It was weird.

Hey, i wondered about all the same things.... I looked it up on some really good site, which explained everything,. Curfew applies to everything in city limit.

In answer to your question, it basically said something to the effect that it wasn't going to be arrests unless someone was disturbing the peace or not taking orders, etc. Seemed very light handed is the point.

ALready got in a great workout in for me, so just chillin now.

Take care, brother.

I would think not, but the city is unfortunately filled with virtue-signalling busybodies who like to find any excuse to ruin someone's day.

Ramones!! Cool. I was listening to the Dead Kennedys. Well I'll be in seattle limits for much of my run on the Burke Gilman- although at some point my run will get into lake forest park and kenmore before I turn around. thanks for the info. Glad to know it's light handed.

Stay safe!

As for the political aspect in this thread, I'll just say that most "protestors" aren't looting and engaging in violence. They are peacefully assembling and stating their views. Not all cops are beating people either like that giles corey thread seems to suggest. I've seen some pretty touching videos of protestors and police engaging in productive dialogue.

Yep. I had someone yell at me the other day saying I must be a right wing freak for running without a mask. I said "no, I'm not Jamin'" Just teasing you. The first part did happen though (and that incensed woman was partially incorrect--I'm not conveniently placed in any political camp--I take things issue by issue overall)

I mean I wear a mask in the QFC but it's pretty conclusive science that running outside passing someone ten feet away isn't going to give them anything except perhaps laughs because my form sucks.

I ran in greenlake a few hours after curfew, refreshingly empty after the huge crowds on each nice day

She was never on the ballot. She took over when the last guy was revealed to be a pedo.

Boo hoo. Boo hoo. She was ELECTED with 60% of the vote. She WAS on the ballot.

It was Tim Burgess was appointed to complete the term of the PEDO, Ed Murray. He served 71 days.

Do you actually live in Seattle?

You probably wouldn't be hassled because the Police will be enforcing the curfew and dealing with riot issues if they come up. The reason for the city wide curfew isn't "busybodies", it is that keeping people in the jurisdiction at home reduces the need for police and first responders needed in the CBD having to respond to issues like traffic accidents, muggings, bike/runner altercations and whatever in other locations in the city.

really seems like folks were rushing around just about 5 trying to get there last ya-ya's out before the night's lock down.

In that vain, i just hit up my neighborhood pub for a take-out growler. Chatted up a bellevue fire fighter who cued up behind me and he says there's fires in Bellevue mall, in Macy's. As we were talking he gets a text alert that they are calling for volunteers to come in tonight.... Reading about it now, city wide emergency there due to looting....

Seattle dude, you got me firing up some Dead Kennedy's. Great stuff. I like a lot of the punk from that area, not the real hardcore stuff, but more the early stuff like the stooges.

CUrfew again tonight, Monday, but at 6 PM instead, at least for Seattle. Listening to the esteemed Mayor Jenny Durkin now live during her public address session.

That's what Leadership looks like.

Seems pretty simple, don't try and take a gun away from it's owner, no matter what you skin color is . Not sure why that is so hard to under?

Curfew 9 PM to 5 AM all week. Notice went out about an hour ago.

Democrats wear masks and boots!!!
