For what it’s worth, regarding the car used in this shooting (if this has already been mentioned in the comments above, my apologies for the repetition) some witnesses are describing the car as more of a Chevy HHR (Heritage High Roof), rather than a Blazer. Thought it was worth mentioning since those are two pretty different body styles. And the blue is being described as a bright cobalt type blue. I wasn’t a witness myself, but this info comes from our neighborhood email chain.

According to the majority here, a vehicle comes from out of nowhere, and ‘accidently’ targets what to most of you is a ‘purely random’ dwelling, and somebody fires ‘five’ shots toward said abode before they zoom away???

Any idiot can see how completely absurd that is! The denizens of that home or their associates surely did something to offend the shooting party, and that’s the part of the story that “MK” isn’t offering.

What say you focus on the supposed “MK” instead of assuming that he/she would have stood here proudly to announce: ‘well, all I did was nearly run-over somebody’s child and their dog 45 minutes earlier at a gas station’ had that been the case.

The fact is that Sunrise Heights is a safe neighborhood – not because of anything you people collectively do, or bring to the area, but because it is on a HILL, which causes relatively few people to have cause for, or interest in traversing that hill unless they live here. Were it easy for people to just stroll by on their way to Westwood Village, or wherever, there would be much more opportunity crime in the area.

The hills and waterways which isolate West Seattle are central to its assured relative safety both in the present and in the years to follow. With that in mind, you could stand to spend less time bitching about a crowded or slow bus, less time crying about snow shutting-off bridges and other passageways, and less time seeing randomness in something very probably brought onto someone by his own actions or inactions.

Welcome neighbors!

There is a murder case recently on the news where the police are trying to obtain photos from a stoplight camera, because they have the vehicle on a survelliance camera, but only the side view. Yet this vehicle was going in the direction of a stoplight photo camera, where they could quite possibly get the license plate number.

Unfortunately, the state’s current law forbids this and the ACLU has fought against it being overturned on the grounds of violating privacy.

While I lean on the liberal side. This is an argument that I don’t buy. Cars are driven in a public place on a public road. The stoplight camera itself would then fall under the same argument, along with live trafiic cameras and speeding cameras, and the toll cameras “invading driver’s privacy”, whether recorded or not.

It is unfortunate that a murder case is growing cold because of this. I’m all for a change in this law.
