    WSB. Any updates on the missing Pidgeon point man with dementia? 

    • WSB September 20, 2023 (7:15 am)

      Still missing as of last I heard late last night.

    WSB, why are you deliberately not reporting on the rally in West Seattle for Jaahnavi Kandula, who was killed by SPD? You are showing bias to police again… Multiple have said they wanted the rally on the blog and I still have not seen it despite flyers around the Junction…

    • WSB September 20, 2023 (10:06 am)

      Hi, Jeff, can’t report on something we haven’t heard about. I don’t know who your “multiple” refers to but you are the first to mention this; no one has sent us anything. When and where?

    • Derp September 20, 2023 (3:25 pm)

      Really jeff, why not ask the question in a polite manner instead just jumping all over them for not knowing about this event. It wouldn’t surprise me if they block you for your poor attitude. They do a great service to this community.Just wow

        Absent a response from Jeff, we went down to The Junction just before dusk and walked around looking for flyers. We saw several flyers for an International District demonstration, but none for anything in West Seattle. This is the flyer on multiple poles:

      Jeff, I am as vehemently outraged as anyone over Auderer’s behavior and the fact that he is still employed by SPD, and I don’t buy his claim that the recording was taken out of context, especially with his past behavior. That being said, are you going to apologize to WSB for your inaccurate information and uncalled for accusation? —Mike

Sorry, comment time is over.
