Equity in today's standards is just another word for racism. I am so disgusted by our so called leaders. Wait, they are not leaders, they are self serving scum...
I prefer to say he was one of Willy Wonka's bad eggs. But we don't have Willy Wonka's egg room. We need to concentrate on the mental health debate more than ever now. Im just saying if a young white mental kid did that to person of color, Sharpton would have already been on KIRO.
It's incomprehensible in a town the size of Sequim why the local government wouldn't immediately make a supportive post about the tragedy! So sad and pathetic!
How would they know? Unless there is a mechanism for information, (not facebook) there is no way to present "news". We are now dealing with an entire generation that never knew what a newspaper was, what news is. Heck, there is an entire generation that can't read an "analog" clock (with hands), can't imagine what it is like to be without a phone in their pocket, and struggle to read cursive.
Mimi, and this generation has gotten themselves into immense credit card debt (credit card companies also to blame) because of being raised with an "instant gratification" attitude. Why work and save up to buy when you can have it now?
Mimi, a bulk of the homeless are of their own doing. The others, veterans and mental illness make up a smaller percentage...they are the ones I feel for.
Interesting that community leaders help recognize the Indigenous People's losses of life, yet the Tribes don't feel obligated to share information when someone goes missing or is murdered on their sovereign soil. The latest crime in Sequim exposes the failure of all of Sequim City Council members. They have brought shame to our town. Rich and his family deserve to be recognized. Thank you, Jeff, for caring about Rich and pulling our community together to mourn his passing.
Virtual signaling. What possible virtual signaling benefit arises from anyone from the Council, Kommissars, or local 'Press' giving a damn about an old white guy who was murdered? All these cretins disgust me.
Teachers CAN DO and they DO every single day in the classroom. I used that saying in error until I married a teacher and actually found out the number of hours they put in and the huge pile of CRAP they put up with from parents and the UNIMFORMED public!
Like any other organization, unions have rules , most have constitutions, that allow for the members to police their own. Lack of participation leaves a minority to dictate. The few that participate are usually the bad apples that only think of themselves, while the majority of members are not heard and they are usually the ones that really care and perform at the top of their trade. Said from experience.
Like any profession, it's the people on the extremities that drag down the public perception of the profession. Union leaders and activists have morphed the role of a teacher to be more than what it was intended. Couple that with the parents you mention, what a mess.
She was always so nice. I remember her running the gas station on the corner, the birth of her daughter and how proud she was of her thru the years and then working her butt off at a burger place. I heard she passed and had no clue as to how. Reading today how she passed saddens me deeply. Not just for her and the ones that loved and knew her from around town but for our “little ole Sequim”. It certainly is not the town of 10 years ago 15 years ago 20 years ago 30 years ago or even 40 years ago. Deeply saddens me.
I agree with you Jean. I think the street people need more coverage. There are several You Tube channels that document the stories of the homeless. These channels have hundreds of interviews. It puts a human element to the person. I watch these shaking my head at the wasted potential. Not all are lost. Some just broken and need some help to re-enter a productive life. Not all are sympathetic but many are. Some are quite candid they aren't ready to stop using drugs. Others have figured out "street life" and they've been in that loop for a decade or more. The saddest are the elderly with few or no options and the mentally infirm with no one to help. There thousands of folks with hundreds of common themes. Violence, sexual abuse, mental conditions, physical limitations. What we are doing isn't working. As a society we could do better.
There are real victims out here ! They are victims of the government ! Then there is the victim mentality that blame every one for their wrong choices , products of the professional Victimhood ! Evil is a coward that preys on the weak and innocent ! It’s nourished by the low vibration of fear and suffering ! We must represent the opposite !
The government allows feral beasts to invade our community and after a senior citizen is murdered the animal is released to cause more mayhem. If the government won't protect its citizens then the citizens with organized militias can protect themselves. However the government agencies will incarcerate the citizens who protect themselves.
Jeff!!! Email just in from PDN. They finally acknowledge some old white guy was murdered... Um, no, I mean he dies following assault. Not the assault might have been a factor.
You shamed them into at least acknowledging, "...something happened and some old white guy died..."
"“Square in the chin,” Fisher responded, according to court documents. “I mean, I’ve been in a hundred fights. I know where, I mean. It was self-defense.”"
Self defense he says... Well the purp is always the oppressed. Let em go.
Just watched the news tonight - local Seattle channel. The defense lawyers want the case thrown out of court of the illegal who was drunk and killed the WSP person in our state. The judge will make the ruling by Monday the 19th.
Only the evilest of our community's & country's agenda driven criminals would make such a two-faced public spectacle about "disproportionate violence" that only promotes fear, hate, and division within our society~! Geee, I wonder why these criminals would do that~? HA~! What folks should be questioning is the true motives and hidden agendas of these criminals within our government structure and those who stand to gain from such unscientific lies & "fear porn"~! Are these criminals within our government suggesting that "violence" become more proportionate? I know from experience that there are many great & Patriotic Americans who are regularly here and supporting The Clallam County Watchdog, but what on earth is going on in the minds of SO many others in our community that tolerates such flagrant criminal abuse of this beautiful community by the handful of evil criminals who clearly wish us all great financial and physical harm~? I can't possibly be alone in supporting the concept of "no violence" within our community, so perhaps the criminals in government are actually being honest for a change by ignoring the preferred "no violence" goal, in lieu of "more fair and balanced violence" that they clearly support~! Violence ignored by the usual criminals in government, is violence condoned by these evil criminal agenda driven lunatics~! These sick graduates of "Hate & Destroy America" communist 101 Corse study need to be removed from our government and having anything to do with our community~! Sincerely, Mike
I believe that the issue of all this is the PRESS, or lack there-of. Its like a support beam eaten out by powder post beetles -- looks just fine until you put any pressure on it, and it vanishes into sawdust.
Our media is gone, the 4th estate is dead. Facebook is NOT a substitute.
Mimi, Facebook and Nextdoor was the best we had until Jeff stuck his neck out, and his neck is so stuck out he could be a giraffe. It is obvious by the quick rise in his members to this substack. People are hungry for more than events, they want what is really happening and he is the best news in town.
CCWD averages 5 new subscribers each day. Yesterday was 145. Average daily views is 4k to 5k. Yesterday was over 17k. People are still hungry for news.
Just sent this little note to PDN chief editor: Why are you finally publishing a report on deadly assault eight days later. Don't your subscribers need to know of violent attacks so we can take precautions? Do we have the right to timely awareness of what is going on in our community? How about police activity? Shame on you for not doing what you claim to do.
If the violence victim was a Caucasian male, he has no identity in today's liberal interpretation of society. Priorities for societal and media acknowledgement are skin color, ethnicity, ( particularly indigenous ), other nationality and female gender with Caucasian and male both accounted to the category of "not nobody". Attempting to eliminate discrimination with discrimination is a doomed to failure policy.
Sorry, Jeff, in answering your poll, I mistook "receive" from "SHOULD receive". Given the resulting poll responses, I would bet others did too. So, my YES answer should be changed to a resounding NO.
Washington, and Clallam County are highly racist, but not in the way one would assume. Instead, Tribes, minorities, and other marginal people are elevated and put on pedestals, instead of all being Americans. For 99.9% of our issues, race, ethnicity, sexual preference, gender identity, skin color, really do not matter. We're all Americans and that's all that should matter. But, it doesn't. And, foreigners, here illegally, deserve NO rights whatsoever beyond deportation, or jail if they commit crimes. Yet, they too are put on pedestals and are given things in the most egregious racism examples we have.
Giving favored treatment for Tribes or any other group is saying, "They are inferior and need our help". That's racism, folks! And most of it is STILL being exercised by the political party that endorsed slavery and created the Ku Klux Klan. Don't forget that. It is the party that is so narcissistic that they believe only they are smart enough to tell people what to do, so they create laws that empower them to micromanage us, strip us of our rights, and make us pay them to be managed. They believe that Clallam County Citizens are inferior to them, so we need to be controlled. EVERYONE is inferior in their eyes, so it is indeed RACISM ON STEROIDS.
In addition to cultural Marxism which favors one group over another independent of test scores. If I had grandchildren with high SAT scores attempting to enter a top tier university I would be furious.
Equity in today's standards is just another word for racism. I am so disgusted by our so called leaders. Wait, they are not leaders, they are self serving scum...
Scum is accurate. But maybe a little to equitable.
I prefer to say he was one of Willy Wonka's bad eggs. But we don't have Willy Wonka's egg room. We need to concentrate on the mental health debate more than ever now. Im just saying if a young white mental kid did that to person of color, Sharpton would have already been on KIRO.
Don't hold back, Greg. Let us know what you really think.
I think that you laid out the case rather well in this post for anyone who missed it. The mayor is not in control, he has a handler.

Excellent point!

Don't attend one of their meetings. You'll think that you're in junior high school. The lack of maturity makes them useful to others with an agenda.
It's out in the hall for you and don't come back until you know your place MK! Kommissars, preach but can't do.
Teachers CAN DO and they DO every single day in the classroom. I used that saying in error until I married a teacher and actually found out the number of hours they put in and the huge pile of CRAP they put up with from parents and the UNIMFORMED public!
You're right most certainly do, it's their union leader face of the profession that destroys the good that most do.
Like any other organization, unions have rules , most have constitutions, that allow for the members to police their own. Lack of participation leaves a minority to dictate. The few that participate are usually the bad apples that only think of themselves, while the majority of members are not heard and they are usually the ones that really care and perform at the top of their trade.

All too often today it's the angry and the persons who have never held any position of authority in their lives who get elected. RUN JEFF RUN
And what about the many homeless folks who have died of street life. We dont hear of that, like they never existed. I know of several...
How True, Christmas Day 2023 Randi Lynn LeBlanc froze to death in her car in that same Safeway parking lot. Not a peep from anybody.
She was always so nice. I remember her running the gas station on the corner, the birth of her daughter and how proud she was of her thru the years and then working her butt off at a burger place. I heard she passed and had no clue as to how. Reading today how she passed saddens me deeply. Not just for her and the ones that loved and knew her from around town but for our “little ole Sequim”. It certainly is not the town of 10 years ago 15 years ago 20 years ago 30 years ago or even 40 years ago. Deeply saddens me.
Rest in Peace Randi. You are thought of.

Clearly there is one community that gets favored status in CC. In every aspect of life

CONGRATULATIONS, Jeff! You are the new REAL Peninsula News!
IMO the first role of government is to protect its citizens.
I heard someone from the generally known area that belongs to the US southern states describe religion there was religion. Religion here is Facebook.

I agree, that poll was confusing. I will do more gooder on wording next time.

Thank you for exposing the STUNNING HYPOCRISY of Sequim and Clallam leaders hellbent on pushing their communist agenda no matter the cost.
You're welcome, Lori.
