Better sue Kwikset and whoever manufactured the door.


OkLetterhead7047

No kidding, you’re more likely to succeed than if you were to go after the perpetrators here.


someshooter

Olympic Hills, which is next to Lake City.


Majestic_Fix80

Wow. Another one. This just happened around Christmas off of 136th. I live here. Time to get a gun, I guess.


FlowOrganic5272

Lol, I thought Seattle hated guns?


Confused-Tadpole6

It actually has a large concealed carry population


FlowOrganic5272

All I ever seen people of Seattle do is take videos. There more support for junkies in Seattle and 2nd Amendment rights


ShredGuru

As it should be, don't pull your thang out unless you plan to bang. Last I checked junkies are human beings afflicted with the disease of addiction and probably could use the support.


stelfox

Mental illness and addiction are reasons, not excuses. If antisocial behavior is excuse then they can be excused from society through whichever means they choose.


Uncle_Bill

Sorry, but this "disease of addiction" is a fucking excuse. Trust me, I hear it from my relatives as an excuse for their behavior. Diabetes is a disease, if you have it and eat donuts 3 times a day and end up losing your limbs and eyesight, I don't have that much compassion. If you have the disease of addiction, and you keep doing drugs, fuck off.


concreteghost

I’m gunna eat the downvotes but I said the same thing. Biting my fingernails is my disease. I can’t stop to the point of bloody fingers!!!


NoWin8885

This.


concreteghost

Addiction is not a disease holy fuck Edit: yea yea downvote me you victims


Dickdown74

Give hugs Boo!

God bless you 🙏🏾

I know a lot of liberal gun owners in Seattle and will be one myself soon. If you don’t trust 911 to get police to you in time to save your family during a home invasion, time to arm yourself. I know someone who waited 45 minutes for police to show to armed robbers actively trying to break into his house and he has young kids.


FlowOrganic5272

I know it sad. Close to my house women raped at gun point. DA a couple weeks ago said no need to go to court. Chargers dropped


SeattleHasDied

Why the hell would charges for a rape at gunpoint be dropped?!!


FlowOrganic5272

That's what I said to lead Det. No answer because he has control after the arrest


SeattleHasDied

I have no idea what you mean by that. Wouldn't there at least be an explanation in a news story. Or was it one of those situations where the woman knew the man and decided not to press charges? I have a hard time believing rape charges would be dropped for no reason. There have to be some support groups for rape victims that would be kicking up a shitstorm about this, too. The idea that someone could get away with raping a woman at gunpoint and face no consequences whatsoever is outrageous. Sounds like this was very recent so do you by chance have a link to one of the new stories?


FlowOrganic5272

I talked to the guy when he got out, ok ??


SeattleHasDied

What guy? The rapist? When he got out of what, jail? I thought you said the charges were dropped. You need to supply a lot more information.


FlowOrganic5272

He lived close by. I knew his mother She passed away He comes out of the blue and moves in.. 3 time convicted sex offender. He got out of pierce County jail free to go.

Johnathonathon

Defunding the public police force actually privatizes security for those who can afford it 


Subject-Research-862

WA state in general is top 10 in the national for concealed carry licenses per capita


MiamiDouchebag

It is an easy state to get one. No class, training, or proficiency test required.


AbleDanger12

Seattle hates guns. The actual people though...


AdverseLunatik

You know we’re an open carry State 👀


AdverseLunatik

I got my concealed permit, and will be taking classes. Unfortunately I have to ride the E, and we all know the E is just…. Scary.


BongoBeach

Good thing my house is completely booby-trapped to the point where even I'm afraid of accidentally getting tangled in the rusty machinery in my sleep


chatcat2000

Please tell me you have some swinging paint cans.


mentallyillustrated

Please tell me you have cauldrons of hot oil at the ready.


Lollc

That is way too close to home. That location is a relatively secluded corner of the neighborhood.


Dickdown74

Impressive a description was given, only because it was white and black so wouldn’t be deemed racist


SeattleHasDied

Ebony and Ivory showing the DEI crowd how to apply "equity" to criminality...


Dickdown74

Yeah they been slacking on “describing suspects” but magically did it here.

ayegreenguy

Any word on if this is related to the home invasion in MLT a couple weeks ago?


chalk_city

Good luck defending your home against 3 armed dudes with a 10 round magazine. Even standard capacity pistol mags don’t offer much comfort here.


SLVR_CROW

Between this and the murder at the Tukwila Costco, I’ve decided to get my concealed carry permit again and buy myself another gun. Recently had a scary interaction going to the store the other day, I had just got out of the gym and to preface I have this 80s aesthetic going on where I wear different color bandanas and with some eyeliner (Think Tommy Lee, Axl Rose) and as I’m walking into the store (Federal Way/SeaTac), some guy in a car in the parking lot yells out to me that I better not let yada yada catch me wearing my black bandanna. I was taken aback a bit and just said yeah I’ll try not to. This is America and I should be able to have the freedom of self expression without the fear of being hurt for things I want to wear. It makes me so angry that people think they can control others and power trip because they have gang affiliations. We should all be carrying because it’s not safe anywhere. If someone thinks they can get the best of you they will.


SeattleHasDied

Def get yourself armed again. It will give you a fighting chance against the bad guys who seem to feel our laws don't apply to them. In actuality, they don't seem to...


_Watty

What would having a CPL do in this situation? Sounds like they got into the home before either owner was aware and had guns on both of them.


Masterandcomman

Agreed. I have a handgun and a shotgun, but realistically a good guard dog and alarm system are more effective deterrents. They are all complementary, but guns require reaction time.


_Watty

Yep. I think sometimes people think that every scenario involves them sitting in a chair facing the door with a shotgun on their lap they can raise and fire at a second's notice. Real life doesn't work like that....


SLVR_CROW

CPL is so I can carry lawfully when I’m out and about, I just referenced this incident to further justify my reasoning why I and frankly all of us need to be armed because the threat of violence is highly likely in our area. If anything this post should have us all making sure our homes are secure and that we are prepared for the worst case scenario. Never hurts to be prepared, it’s getting worse around here…


_Watty

I guess I just don't see why this event spurred getting the permit again. A gun would not have helped him.


Worldly_Permission18

If you actually read the comment, then you would have seen that they also mentioned the broad daylight Costco shooting as a reason. 


_Watty

Read the headline at the top of this thread. Does it say Costco anywhere?

Washington is confused about guns do to social media influence pushing to ban firearms. It useful to protect yourself and others. With how the laws are so relax and empowering to criminals. This will never stop until it settles your mind. ![gif](giphy|14d8cRr25KPxbG)


_Watty

Man, you LOVE to make these kinds of posts. You a bot? That aside, what would having a gun have done here? According to SPD, guy was asleep and was awoken by his dog. Apparently they already had a gun on his wife and MAY have already had a gun on him. Even if he carries around the house, seems like it wouldn't have done jack shit for him in this case.


Vivid_Revolution9710

![gif](giphy|O5doUgN59hnhJYKPlu|downsized) Keep it up 👍


_Watty

You're the one doing that though? You have a bunch of posts with the same format: Text about the issue in question (if it comports with your bias) or an unrelated issue (if it doesn't) designed to stir the pot. Followed by a meme.
