Agree 100%.

I disagree. I believe many of the criminal, social, and behavioral issues plaguing Seattle can be boiled down to two denominators:  Parental coddling & entitlement, and lack of enforcement.

It’s not about diversity. Every type of peace loving people welcome. However, when a group is actively aggressive and intentionally and willfully threatening and intimidating to the general public- that’s a problem. When the area becomes a stage to play out retaliatory gang strikes- that’s a problem! When people are doing drunken burn outs alongside 5 year olds padding along in flip flops carrying sand buckets- that’s a problem. I’m sorry- but it sucks for those of us who want to enjoy the beach without  being bullied or run over or watching gang members attack rivals.

And how are you gonna stop the violence? With words? These people use a lot more powerful methods than words. You can do nothing. Nobody can. Just hope it doesn’t happen to you.

Stop trying to blame this all on “non-residents.” Violence happens and you deal with it. No community is a perfect community so shut up with all your blaming and just be aware of your surroundings instead. I hate it when tragedies happen but the bottom line is there is no clear and easy answer to solving this. Alki is well enforced with police and the neighborhood does a good job at looking out for each other, but you can’t stop everything. Unfortunately things like this happens and i hope they never happen again.  And please stop complaining about people with “flashy, shiny, fast and loud cars” for ruining the area because you liberals keep destroying a beautiful thriving car culture in the region as well as punishing everyone that doesn’t live in your own skin. Here’s a solution, move to a quiet suburban town in Kansas. I love the range of cars you see on Alki Beach because it’s always changing and I see something new everyday. If the car culture ruins your walks on the beach then buy a treadmill.

Welcome to living in a popular area. Move to a gated community if you want peace and quiet. I love the beach and car culture of Alki, especially in the summer. But I hate the tragedies too, I’m just glad it’s still rare here..

So no more people on the beach, eh?  That’s who the public is, you know — people.

Show ID? Are you serious? And then what?

We have failed to treat them accordingly, and will probably continue to decriminalize their behaviors. give everyone trophies, let them play active shooter games all night long. I’m sure this suspect, has been suspect for some time, on the list of parents, friends, teachers, principles, our school system and police officers. Out of step, uncorrected at every bad decision he ever made. We have developed a society that no one has the parenting skills or determinations to maintain. The feel good method of voting has to change back to a responsible form of voting. Toughen up people and learn what it takes to be a civilized society. Tough ain’t enough! Somebody needs a good kick in the butt. All of us!

I know I fall into a few of those categories so I guess I need to move.

Cops can’t be everywhere all the time, and if people in our city didn’t expect them to respond to every stupid thing (like a couple of people smoking weed) then they actually could be focusing on creating this nice police state you all so desire in your neighborhood.
