Seattle is turning into the Detroit of the aircraft industry. Large proportions of the population are (or were) involved with aircraft production, manufacture and service, mostly for Boeing who are the state's largest employer. They were already suffering from the 737-max debacle then coronavirus hit and grounded virtually all the planes now it's all going wrong around there. ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'

Hello from the other side of the pond ! I don't post much at all on this forum but lurk everyday (don't normally login either), I'm more of an active member on my local forum pnwmoto.com (Pacific North West), I live in Seattle and can fill you in on what's really going on (Fox news is bullshit), I will say the message above is accurate, Boeing has laid off a little over 10,000 people and others volunteered to retire or take a severance package. as for the Protests, it's 4 city blocks however, it's only down 1 street not the entire 4 blocks. They're peaceful (now) an it looks more like a Farmers Market, how they're going to clear this up is beyond my pay scale but the city is working with the organizers on their demands of Police reform. For those that don't know Police in the States are basically immune from prosecution, it's a fact, they want them held accountable for crimes and for the good cops to to stand up to the bad ones, that's the short version.
The area they're occupying is known for protests, it's not surprising to locals this happened where it did, I'd be happy to answer any questions I can from what I know first hand and not by watching the news .
There's a saying Seattlites have said for years, "Seattle looks like shit", it even has it's own Facebook page. |

Aren't they all these days? Fox, CNN, BBC, Ch4 etc, etc; all agenda driven bollocks. Whatever happened to balanced news reporting? And all the internet stuff is logarithm-driven confirmation bias that just promotes hysteria. What a world!
Nice to hear some first hand stuff.
You're not agenda-driven are you? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

A protest leader in Seattle's so-called "Capital Hill Autonomous Zone" demanded on Friday that white occupiers give their non-white counterparts money — or face retribution.
"I want you to find, by the time you leave this autonomous zone, I want you to give $10 to one African American person from this autonomous zone," the man told a crowd.
"And if you find that's difficult, if you find that it's hard for you to give $10 to people of color, to black people especially, you have to think really critical about in the future are you actually going to give up power and land and capital when you have it," he continued.
"If you have a hard time giving up $10, you're gonna have to think about, 'Are you really down with this struggle? Are you really down with the movement?' Because if that's a challenge for you, I'm not sure you're in the right place," he said.
The protest leader went on to subtly threaten the white occupiers by saying that he would remember them.
"White people, I see you. I see every one of you, and I remember your faces. You find that African American person and you give them $10," he said. "Do it!"

And who are these wonderful and wise 'leaders'? They must be very special. Surely they will command the respect of the overall majority of citizens ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I'm not buying this whole thing about it being peaceful, a guy did just get killed there. They are probably on their best behavior during the day while all the reporters are there so they can see what a socialist paradise looks like, but there is plenty of footage of people being attacked and having their shit stolen.
There's also this video of their leader stealing this guys phone for recording the shooting.
