Time: 8PM-2AM

11 Bars in the Capitol Hill area have received Death threats from anonymous letters graphically depicting the possible threat of Ricin poisoning.

On Friday Night January 9th 2009, 11 Bars operating in tandem to combat Hate and Fear, have organized a Capitol Hill PUB CRAWL. All people are encouraged to support our efforts to bring life to our local bars for support against Fear and Hatred posed to our local Gay community.
The Pub Crawl will began at 8pm and continues until 2am at all the 11 bars.
We ask that you gather your friends, pick a specific bar and work your way around the 11 establishments, we are trying not to get everyone at one point and move around together as most of the establishments cannot fit an overload of people at one time

The point is that they CHOOSE. They don't have it covertly done to them.

A person can choose to bareback, and will face the consequences of that decision, good or bad.

A person does not choose to have someone slipping poison in their drink. Those consequences are not the result of a decision by the person being poisoned.

Do you honestly not see the difference?

A very serious thing, even if it's just some sick nobody with a LaserWriter and Palatino 12.

"Seattle police say they are taking this threat very seriously and are working with multiple agencies to resolve this case."

maybe i missed it, but was this threat political? and whose getting the shit scared out of them? .... im glad the local media is reporting on local issues that are of importance to the community they serve, something in which they are supposed to be doing.

until you learn about terrorism and the role of media, shut your pie hole and go back to crocheting your cat her easter costume.

It is irrelevant whether their "retaliating" threat in the form of this letter is real or not in the aspect that it nonetheless reveals that pure, unjust hatred remains toward innocent queers.

That said, damn it, can't some of you commenters leash your cynicism for once?
