This isn't about defending the anarchists, @1. It's about defending your right—yes, yours—to know what your law-enforcement and judicial systems are up to.

And it was just plain uncivilized. Grab and lock up innocent people and hold them for months!?! Why not just starve them, too? You've already destroyed their lives.

If the lackadaisical behavior of officials after the Days of Hipster Wrath occurred isn't any indication that Seattle is a two-class society, I don't know what is. But then we already knew that Washington's (monstrous) Lil' Darlings are above the law.

Thank you so much for doing this Brendan. This is a class example of active civic discourse and good citizenship: getting in there and fighting for a public right of transparent government.

1, it's amazing that after 70 years, the lessons of fascism are still completely lost on some people.

we understand what you're going through. you're a small person and you want to feel powerful. you can't do it yourself, so you do it by proxy through a powerful entity. but there is an end result to that, and it's not a good one. in fact, it's pretty fucking horrific.

Congrats and thanks, Brendan!! Between this and Dominic's role in cleaning up the Sheriff's office, The Stranger staff are doing an incredible job of putting their bodies (and their money) where their words are!
