Slog - Comments on More Violence at 14th and Aloha http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/more_violence_at_14th_and_aloha Seattle Police have swarmed 14th and Aloha after another fight broke out on the cursed block just moments ago. Last Friday, police were called to deal with a clash between cyclists and a motorist. This time, the scrap appears to be between two Sound Mental Health patients in a dispute over money. The fight, described by SPD Spokeswoman Renee Witt as "fairly violent," appears to be over, but it can only be a matter of time until something else goes terribly wrong on 14th and Aloha....

Bad juju that.

I know I wasn't the only person pissed off at that sneaky Aloha bus.

A fight broke out when Critical Mass was there.

A fight also broke out when Critical Mass wasn't there.

Therefore, Critical Mass was not the principle agent that caused the fight.

You cannot infer causality from correlation (unless your name is Al Gore).

I'm sorry. Still waiting for this curse to pass.

A pit bull and a Critical Mass cycler crossed paths. A NIMBY (has a friend on the Seattle City Council)on 14th and Aloha did not like the noise of the altercation while tending to his P-patch and called the cops. The cops raced up 12th in time to see the pit bull gnawing at the tire on the drunken cycler's bike.

Meanwhile over in Volunteer Park....

His presence stirs up the blood of whoever passes by. Walk past some time and you'll feel it, for better or worse depending on what you've got in you that day.
