WSB… so glad you asked this… many, many times calls are not so much “misrouted” but ignored. It is kind of beyond my simple comprehension as a regular person…. but I have felt that the 911 opporators have mis represented themselves as police officers. I really feel that they should be brought up on charges and from what I have heard I am not the only one.
When you call 911 because you are afraid of someone in your backyard and they give you baloney leagal advise? I am not sure but in my professional world that is misrepresentation, providing false legal advice and possible misrepresenting oneself as a police officer. I have heard from neighbors a lot about this kind of baloney… and I am sure it is caught on tape. No one seems to care, including you (with all due respect) by your comment. I have multiple times and dates and that is why I am also asking others about lawsuits.
And to be specific about the other night on 20th…. no one knows anything, including me. Is that pretty clear….It is stupid,ridulous, a waste of my money and makes me mad.

If anyone has a specific time/date of 911 call that was misrouted (unless I missed something, I have NOT heard anyone say the one in this case was … it was speculation …), and are interested in having it researched, you are welcome to contact me with that info – editor@westseattleblog.com

And I apologize for going on but the Josh Powell example is one that will forever live in history. So tragic. But it is a very clear example of the way that the leaders in the area choose to appropriate their 911 system. I have heard lots of apologies about that tragic occurrence but not any way to fix it…. Maybe these people called 911? we don’t know… Maybe there was something leading up to it that made people call 911…. we don’t know. Well the hospital is one place you can count on… he was effed up… that’s what we know.

@Dontshoot – Have you ever learned how to properly fire and safely store a fire arm? I grew up with them as did all of my neighbors. We were all properly trained and we had little property crime and certainly no accidents. Guns are no more dangerous than a chainsaw or other power tools when properly stored and used. Let’s stop giving evil human caricatures to inanimate objects and place responsibility on people. Proper training is essential as it is with anything. I’m not advocating a wild west scenario, just a deterrent. People may think twice about committing a home invasion if they have to consider the likely hood of someone being armed for protection. It’s common sense. Show me credible data that proves this wrong. Cease Fire and others appear to use cherry picked data to support their preconceived narratives that guns are evil.

answer your door? I don’t even answer my phone at home. I only have a phone at home as it’s part of some bundle involving 17 other serves I have and I don’t even know who to call to cancel it.

I live in that area of West Seattle where that home invasion happened. It really pissed me off to hear that something like that happened to someone and their family. I wish I knew who those two punks were I would make sure they never hurt anyone again!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting about two men wearing bandana’s. I work out at 24 hour in W Seattle and last week there were two men working out with bandana’s over their faces. The first thing I thought was they didn’t want to be identified for a crime they had committed. Odd…

@dontshoot – that’s fine, it sounds like you ought not own firearms, no one would advocate that you must. As for the rest of us, we’ll go ahead and use our 2nd amendment rights to protect the health and safety of our loved ones rather than rely on the police. Lest you forget history, it was the poor and disenfranchised people of color for whom firearm restrictions were first enacted.

“More people need to get themselves trained and equipped with firearms … If this was the norm, home invasions and burglaries would drop.”

And more people would be dead from shootings, intentional & by accident … brilliant.

Amen to that Joel if I don’t know the person I don’t open the door during the day, much less at midnight. That’s just asking for trouble, sad but it’s the way things are these days.

@DontShoot – “It has been proven time and again (with data and statistics) that firearms in the home or on your person are more likely to get YOU shot or accidentally shoot a family member.”

Really? That’s very obvious don’t ya think? In the same way as saying, “People who have cars in their driveway are more likely to be involved in a vehicular homicide.” How about “People who use bicycles are more likely to be involved in an incident involving a bike.” Really?

never answer your door at that time of night…..i rarely answer my door anytime of day/night. unless I am expecting someone it’s people selling crap or who knows….a home invasion waiting to happen….I’d rather not take the chance and find out.
