There's tons of gang crap in the Yakima Valley (Sunnyside, Toppenish, Grandview, etc). They're always finding bodies out there.

One thing to keep in mind is the majority of gang violence is not something the media reports anymore. I think the police and majority of the public really dont care what happens in the poorer neighborhoods, so you rarerly hear about shootings n such on the news unless someone totally innocent is involved. These kids in gangs are shooting at each other everyday, no one cares unless someone innocent is hurt.

That's very true

I know I don't care about poor areas, or the rich ones. Just the one I live in. If we reported about every gang violence then the news would go 24 hrs a day with it. For my job I have been in some sketchy places around king county. And I have no pitty for people who know right from wrong and choose wrong. I only begin to care when it is the innocent because their life matters, they didn't make the choice to be in that situation. On a side note I'm all for drug testing welfare participants. Cut down on gang cash flow.

largenutz · Jun 28, 2013

I hear you^^ The point I was trying to make, in response to comments about dangerous areas in & around Seattle, was that there is a lot of violence happening all around,that general public doesnt know about. Unless you are in that life or know someone who is, you really dont know how dangerous certain areas can be.

hgwellz12 · Jun 28, 2013

It's crazy, but I felt safer in most of the areas here in Washington that most would consider 'sketchy' or 'ghetto'
than I did in the 2 cities/towns I visited in Arizona (Scottsdale, Chandler, Mesa? And I avoid the Eastside (Bellevue/Kirkland/Mill Creek)
at all costs. I have gotten pulled over in each of those cities at least twice over the past half decade.

Kirkland/Bellevue police will pull over anybody not driving properly. You must have been doing something wrong.

hgwellz12 · Jun 28, 2013

I ALWAYS CONSCIOUSLY drive EXTREMELY proper in those areas. And I don't drink and drive.
Each time it's always the same story "Sir, I noticed you sat for a while after the light turned green (or some other bs reason). You have license, registration, and insurance for this car?" and after I provide docs and they run my info, it's "ok, just be safe and have a nice night!"... no ticket of course because I broke no laws... Except driving an expensive car. Now I let my wife drive if I need to go to those areas if possible. She NEVER gets pulled over in the ZR.

LOL! Can I decipher what youre saying without sounding racist? Because Im the same way, basically I feel safer in more culturally diverse areas rather than predominately caucausian upper middle class areas.

Hey I stole this from somebody on the 49er forum but thought you might get a chuckle out of it if you haven't already seen it.

lol

Wait... you were pulled over in Bellevue BECAUSE you drove an expensive car? Expensive cars are the norm for the area.

hgwellz12 · Jun 28, 2013

Not sure what else to attribute it to. No tickets neither time. Just ran my license and told me to have a nice day /evening.
My wife is white btw. Im black. And im sure there are those that think "oh God, not the race card" but again, to me it just seems like they felt they needed to 'check me out'... again, not really sure what else to attribute it to.

That's very true

No it's not!

*Is listening to radio news in the background, hears about a gang shooting in Tacoma and doesn't bat an eye, then a breaking news report comes on about a young white woman that was allegedly groped while walking along the street in downtown Seattle--OH MY GOD, CALL THE NATIONAL GUARD AND ALERT THE PRESIDENT*

Why should anyone want care about the gang violence. If they want to gang bang and kill each other, let em. It doesn't have to be about a white woman it has to do with a victim that's when we care, and should care. White, black, Asian, or Mexican gang doesn't matter all low life's. White, black, Asian, or Mexican vitcim are all the same an innocent victim at the wrong place wrong time.

largenutz · Jun 28, 2013

I wanna move back to Seattle< I hope its cool as I remember It>

RolandDeschain · Jun 28, 2013

I don't, 425; let 'em kill each other off.

Back in I think it was 06 they called in the National Guard in Philly because of the the rate and magnitude of the street violence that was happen on a daily basis.
