And gun violence is far from being a problem only in the south end of Seattle.<br /><br />SouthieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-86306492597037971482014-06-09T14:12:43.892-07:002014-06-09T14:12:43.892-07:00We need to support whatever measures we can to red...We need to support whatever measures we can to reduce the violence in the Rainier Valley. Not only will it spread if we don't, but the people living there right now deserve better than the city and police are providing them, in terms of peace, safety, and respect. <br /><br />Too often, people here Rainier Valley, and shrug. That's not good enough. Rainier Valley is Seattle too. <br /><br />We need to lean on our pols and police to get busier and help the community out. No more de-policing and politics. The power vacuum gets filled too quickly by the wrong people. <br /><br />WSDWG Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-13456792312276940412014-06-09T13:55:24.456-07:002014-06-09T13:55:24.456-07:00I support "common sense" controls on gan...I support "common sense" controls on gang members and the criminally insane.

People living near Rainier are getting used to hearing gunshots. Helicopters circling above has become a common occurrence. <br /><br />Sadly, the south-end gun violence is primarily gang-related. All the laws in the world won't help without an adequate police presence to enforce them.<br /><br />There is no simple solution.Andrea Leigh Ptakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07804830480381262696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-33764642379408557342014-06-09T12:11:13.139-07:002014-06-09T12:11:13.139-07:00I hope that no one is hurt, and it is terrible tha...I hope that no one is hurt, and it is terrible that our kids and teachers need to live in fear for their lives when they are at school.<br /><br />This gun violence has got to stop. At least 3 incidence in the past 5 days in Seattle. SPU last Thursday, 1 dead and 3 injured. Day cares were locked down and school buses diverted. Sunday two men were murdered in the ID. Today elementary schools are on lock down.<br /><br />Seattle Council PTSA membership voted last Monday at the general membership meeting to endorse I-594, Background checks for gun purchases. Did you know that you can buy a gun off the internet or at a gun show and they aren't even required to check ID, much less run the background check?<br /><br />Check out I-594 here: http://wagunresponsibility.org/<br /><br />And you can send a postcard to your legislator that says NOT. ONE. MORE. here: <br /><br />https://act.everytown.org/act/notonemore?source=ggnp_CK-MSNBC&utm_source=gg&utm_medium=_p_&utm_campaign=CK-MSNBC&gclid=CJaZpKq_7b4CFRRbfgodY2sAKg<br /><br />EdenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
