More Police Action: Capitol Hill Edition

Posted by Jonah Spangenthal-Lee on Wed, Feb 4, 2009 at 5:32 PM

Seattle Police and K-9 units are tracking two men who robbed a store on Pike Street moments ago.

The men walked into the store wearing white ski masks and pulled a gun on the clerk.

In other news, a group of teens also exchanged gunfire in the parking lot of the Washington Mutual on 23rd and Jackson at around 5pm. It appears no one was injured.

Seriously, is it a full fucking moon or something?

I was just about to email you guys and see if you knew what that helicopter hovering around capitol hill was all about... Sounds like we've got an answer.

And who would rob a pet store? Boo.

With people's jobs and houses circling in the bowl of our economic shitter, expect things to only get worse from here.

And my corporate overlords wanted to move to Seattle because it's "safer" than Renton.

Yeah, it was just a nice day in the neighborhood as I cruised from my Kent East Hill apartment to Covington for the unlimited bowl at the Iron Wok mongolian place.

If you fools want to live in a dying urb and pay cutthroat prices, don't whine on the Internet about it.

The Washington Mutual on 5th Ave. downtown was cordoned off around 5:30 with a ton o' cops inside and outside. Bank robbery?

@18, Yeah I thought @14's post was the height of ironic in light of the double homicide discovered in Kent today.

Shoot-outs and robberies in Seattle, nobody dies.

Double shooting in Kent, 100% frag rate.

Oh yeah, those suburbs sound fucking awesome!

@14 - John Bailo, is that you?!

What is up?!

I asked about the car thief hit on I-5 at the convention center at 1 p.m. because I'd gotten into a wrangle with a homeless guy amongst our garbage cans near there at 11 a.m., wondered if it was the same guy. But clearly there was a wave today.

No one has jobs. Not enough had food. People stop following the rules when they have an excess of free time and not enough calories. I think Golob talked about it earlier today.

Annie get your gun.

I was probably less than four minutes away from being right in front of mud bay when this all went down. I was on Pike and Minor around that time, and two patrol cars were speeding down Pike, along with the helicopter above.

@25: boy, you are amateur. It's called a third quarter moon.

I'm kind of glad I moved out to Duvall a couple months ago. There's nothing but a field and some horses outside my front door these days... And they only come afer me with guns when I'm late for their morning feeding.
