Seattle Police Make Arrests In Citywide Robbery Spree

Posted by on Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 1:40 PM

Seattle police have confirmed that at least one person has been arrested in connection with a string of armed robberies in North Seattle.

On Monday, police released a photo of the three men and one woman who are believed to be involved in nine different robberies in Greenlake, Pinehurst, Lake City, and Capitol Hill, dating back to September 1st.

UPDATE: Police arrested a 23-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman yesterday afternoon in connection with the robberies. Police are still looking for two other suspects, who have been identified.

According to court records, the 23-year-old man has previously been charged with theft, possession of a stolen vehicle, robbery, and assault. King County Superior Court records say the 23-year-old man fractured another man's eye socket during a violent robbery in 2002.

...ditto for poor, fat white chicks.

FYI this reminds me of my fav black comedy show on TV, "The First 48"....how come this morons always walk into a convenience store either right before or right after they do a crime nearby? Can't they wait 20 minutes and drive to another hood to get their 45s?

Thankfully these scumbags are off of the streets before someone got killed.

Blacks make up only 8% of Seattle but over half of all murders in Seattle in the year 2008 were committed by blacks, and so far for 2009 they are running probably about 80%.

Say, what's the average income of whites vs blacks in whichever city you'd like to choose? Or the average net worth? Or the average level of schooling? Just curious..

@13 - I don't give a steaming shit or a flying fuck how poor or oppressed or addicted or uneducated they are.

Being poor does not make someone rape, rob, and murder. These turds are not trying to feed their grannies, mammies, or babymommas. I'm poor, grew up that way, and I never robbed, raped, or killed anyone. West Virginia is one of poorest states, has one of the lower crime rates, but by some amazing coincidence is one of the whitest states.

19-Year-Old Man Dies After Shooting At Transit Center

Posted: 3:38 pm PDT September 17, 2009Updated: 9:16 pm PDT September 17, 2009
FEDERAL WAY, Wash. -- A 19-year-old man died after he was shot at the Federal Way Transit Center, said the Federal Way Police Department.

The victim was transported to Harborview Medical Center where he died about two hours after the shooting.

Police said the victim and shooter got into a verbal altercation near a bus shelter before the shooting occurred around 3:25 p.m. Thursday.

As of 6:30 p.m., Federal Way police said a man they initially arrested as a person of interest is now a suspect and possibly the shooter. He is a 28 year old man from SeaTac, and will be booked into jail on a charge of homicide.

Several other people have been detained and are being interviewed. One gun has also been recovered, police said.

KIRO 7 reporter Deborah Horne said one person was taken into custody shortly after the shooting and the second person was arrested around 5 p.m.

Late Thursday night, police released the second person after interviewing him as a witness.

Chopper 7 over the scene shortly after the shooting showed police and a K-9 unit looking for the shooter near the transit center at 23rd Avenue South and South 317th Street.

Police also blocked off one entrance of the transit center with crime scene tape while they investigated.

Video showed two officers, one with his gun drawn, searching the parking garage. People were not able to access their vehicles while police searched the parking garage, but by 4:30 p.m. the garage was opened again.

Police do not yet know the relationship between the victim and the shooter.

Being poor can make you desperate. Being desperate makes you do crazy things.

It isn't just socio-economic status though - the entire black culture has evolved to force masculinity and violence as ideals. Additionally, internalized racism is a huge factor towards black violence (there have been studies SCIENCE IS ALWAYS RIGHT ALWAYS ALSKJHALKSJHS not really but google it it's interesting.

Yeah, black people are more likely to kill people than white people. Even poor white people. But I'd hazard a guess that's more a result of the fucked-uppery of social pressures than genetics.
