The Seattle block party has introduced a new game called, “Hide the Bullet”.
Over a three day period inside Jenny Durkan’s Summer of Love, four people managed hiding bullets inside their skin, one fatally.
This reminds me of the story of the scorpion who wanted to cross a pond and he asked a turtle to give him a ride across.
The scorpion promised not to sting the turtle. The turtle agreed and halfway across the scorpion stung the turtle.
The turtle asked him why he did that since he would drown when the turtle died. The scorpion said that he was a scorpion and that’s what scorpions do. Well, a thug does what a thug does because that’s who they are. Durkan ends up with blood on her hands because not only didn’t she try to stop them, but she actually encouraged them.
Mayor Jenny Durkan said:
“The cumulative impacts of the gatherings and protests and the night-time atmosphere and violence has led to increasingly difficult circumstances for our businesses and residents.”
Seattle police reported early Tuesday morning that a third shooting was being investigated in the Capitol Hill Organized Protest Zone, also known as CHOP, after a man was shot with non-life threatening injuries, according to a Harborview Medical Center spokesperson.

Tuesday morning’s shooting comes three days after a man was killed in the police-free CHOP zone. The earlier victims were Horace Anderson, 19, who was killed, and another man, 33, who remains in critical condition, according to the local Seattle KING5 news station.
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan announced on Monday that the city police would move in to dismantle the zone following the shootings.
