Start locking up the criminals and abandon the catch and release program. We are tired of this BS
The democrat party and Biden are good with this way of life, "ITs ALL Free says Joe"
One One of the domestic terrorist groups in the united states is : " the Biden administration " .
Inslee's summer of love 🎉 oh and he will disarm you, no second amendment rights for you, you pos law abiding citizens you!!!
Conceal carry while in seattle.
no suspects again huh, no camera or images? hmmm
Thank your local democrats for the crime and filth.
Seattle never had problems of this magnitude in past decades, obviously there is a serious decline in morals due mostly to changes in demographics and the political atmosphere. I am going to have to declare light rail unsafe at any location or time frame.
You ALL should be armed when traveling on any public transportation. Rapes at night and during early morning against women traveling to and from work. Robberies where victims are seriously beaten and hospitalized. And just attacked for no reason and killed.
THIS IS WHY WE HAVE 2nd AMENDMENT
Once again, the Prosecutor's REFUSE to PROSECUTE BooLack people, just Whitie the man!
Yet, they wonder why we would rather sit in traffic in our cars.
Security needs to be put on these trains and busses.
“The suspect is still on the loose.”Okay. What does the suspect look like?!
It's a sign of overpopulation
IT'S a test case of the ""HUG A THUG PROGRAM"" a policy move after the summer of love with a sprinkle of BLM and Antifa. These are the new rules. Just live in fear in Seattle is the new moniker
The more chaos that errupts, the more Democrats get reelected. Voters seem to love this.
What do you expect? Let drug abuse run rampant – this is what happens.
😢
Even though they didn’t describe anything about the suspect, we know how he looks.
There have been similar incidents on King County metro buses too.
just keep that border wide open doofs
There should be armed security guards at every station, and an emergency button inside every light rail car. If an emergency button is pressed, the cars should be halted at the next station with their doors locked, preventing the assailant from escaping until security can board and arrest them.
Message or respond here and I'll tell where I'm at. No need to kidnap me. I'll be waiting. I guarantee there is a woman around that would love this challenge. I actually wonder who might find this offensive and actually come kidnap me, because I said they can't hypnotize me to their control.
Light rail is expending. This type of trouble will getting bigger.
I wonder if they were black……….the Seattle 10%
race/description of suspect???
Stay classy, humanity.
The riders are trapped because if they defend themselves and the attacker gets hurt. If it is recorded, then the victim can be arrested and lose everything.
there are cameras on them why are they not showing the public who did this, that puts all who ride at risk SHOW THE VIDEO AND STILLS
Gotta keep the firearm on you at all times
Exactly one year ago repeat murderer Alex Jay did the exact same thing. And SUPRISE! the same people are still in office.
No descriptions and no footage in broad daylight?
So security personnel are not on the train?
…survival of the fittest!
Cannot understand why most people don't even carry pepper-spray. I never leave home without mine, no matter what.
Continue keeping it real, Seatlle, by contiuing to vote blue..
