Some committee members expressed concern about addressing the symptoms of the area’s problems without getting to the cause. Councilmember Larry Gossett said he didn’t like the idea of power-washing the sidewalks because it brought back images of the use of hoses against civil-rights activists.
Some committee members expressed concern about addressing the symptoms of the area’s problems without getting to the cause. Councilmember Larry Gossett said he didn’t like the idea of power-washing the sidewalks because it brought back images of the use of hoses against civil-rights activists.
The area around the courthouse is surrounded by a homeless shelter and other social service organizations. Multiple assaults, harassment and drugs have been reported to the police in the area near the courthouse. Jurors have taken to asking judges to release them from jury duty and two jurors have been assaulted over the past two months.
“When they come to this courthouse they’re afraid to come in,” said King County Sheriff John Urquhart. “They’re afraid to walk down Third Avenue because what they see.”

Sounds like a libtard Utopia. The councilmember may be onto something, right in line with Special Ed's thinking. #GossettforMayor

Did the King County Sheriff just admit he's an incompetent bafoon for leading a law enforcement agency with vast resources yet he can't keep jurors safe in an area of just a few square blocks?

I fantasize about watercannoning negroes in Birmingham every time I pressurewash my deck, so yeah, I can see that
Back in my row boat days, we used to have a massive Canadian Goose shit problem on our docks and would use fire hoses to clean things up. On one occasion or two, I turned the hose on the geese and it was great fun. Never thought of pretending to be a 'Bama State Trooper circa 1965 though...

They were Canadian Geese, a Canadian Trooper would have been more appropriate

When I worked at a herring plant on Puget Sound the gulls would go after the herring in the pens and shit on the docks. The owner would shoot a couple and hang them high for the other gulls to see.
I'm surprised that I didn't see that for the abject racism that it was.
Larry has exceeded his shelf life. I knew the name was familiar. He was in on the fight for Black athletes in the late 60's. He's a good guy
A native of Seattle, Gossett is a 1963 graduate of Franklin High School; he then attended and graduated from the University of Washington (U.W.). In 1966-1967, he was a VISTA volunteer in Harlem.[1][3] He initially joined VISTA for the draft deferment; his time in Harlem politicized and radicalized him.[4] Returning to Seattle, he became a founder of the Black Student Union on the U.W. campus[1] and helped to organize nearly a dozen high school and middle school Black Student Unions throughout Seattle.[3] As a student activist, he was instrumental in bringing about the U.W.'s Educational Opportunity Program minority recruitment program. He also played a role in the discrimination of black track athletes from Oregon State University, resulting in their early departure from a track meet.[5] He graduated from the U.W. in 1970, receiving the university's first-ever degree in African American studies. Before he had even formally received his B.A.,[4] he became the first supervisor of the Black Student Division in the university's Office of Minority Affairs.[1] The Seattle Civil Rights and Labor History Project describes him as having been, in the late 1960s, "one of Seattle’s best known young black radicals."[3]
A former member of SNCC,[3] he has a long history of community organizing in Seattle.[1][3] While still working for the U.W., he was involved in the occupation of a former Seattle public school that ultimately became El Centro de la Raza. His continued involvement in civil disobedience led to a request to "cool it", from the head of the Office of Minority Affairs, Samuel E. Kelly. Eventually, he left his position at the university. After working on the successful 1977 mayoral campaign of Charles Royer, he served briefly in the Royer administration, but felt that was taking him too far from his activist roots.[4] From April 1979 until December 1993, he was the executive director of Seattle's Central Area Motivation Program (CAMP).[1][3] He eventually found his way back into electoral politics by way of involvement in Jesse Jackson's presidential campaigns.[4]

A seagull is a vicious animal. Must of felt like you were in a Hitchcock film or the like.

I was wondering if this loser was a total piece of shit. Working for Jesse Jacksons campaign confirmed it.

The 'progressives' will never learn.
Dumbasses.
