THIS IS ASIAN HATE: It's unclear when encounter in #Seattle's Capitol Hill happened, but vid was posted recently. Asian Americans continue to be subjected to this behavior. It's just NOT being reported. ANGRY woman pretty much lists every stereotype and insult. #StopAsianHate
INTERNET WILL FIND HER: Hey at least she’s a #Raiders fan. I love Bo Jackson and I’m trying to get Davante Adams in a trade for my fantasy football team. 😂🤡🙃 #Seattle#StopAsianHate
WILL MAYOR REGRET DECISION? Back in October, reports emerged about @MayorofSeattle cutting city's anti-Asian hate budget by 50%. But incidents keep happening. Some now asking, "What has Mayor really done for Asian Americans so far?" Good question. #Seattle
#EXCLUSIVE: Another fire at house being used by SQUATTERS on 5th Ave NE in Wallingford. Neighbors say homeless living under @wsdot's Ship Canal Bridge have broken into 6 empty homes on this SAME STREET. Still NO ACTION by city or state. #Seattle@MayorofSeattle@GovInslee@KC_RHA
SQUATTER HOUSE: Just in the past week, I have uncovered 6 empty houses on 5th Ave NE being used by squatters. Last check, only one of the houses had homeless inside. But others have been broken into numerous times. I've learned, most are now scheduled to be demolished.#Seattle
ON GOING STORY: At this point, @wsdot, @SeattleCouncil, @MayorofSeattle, @GovInslee Councilmember Alex Pedersen are all aware of problems associated with Ship Canal Bridge Encampment and now squatters on 5th Ave NE. Ball is in their court. #Seattle
HAPPENING TODAY: Journalist @MrAndyNgo is back in a #Portland courtroom to face his alleged attacker. Rose City Antifa member John Colin Hacker is charged w/felony robbery after 2019 incident at a local gym. I'll be reporting for @TPostMillennial and will have updates from court.
INCIDENT BACK IN 2019:
This video shows the incident in question where Hacker allegedly tried to steal Ngo's phone. #Portland
LOCATION: The trial is happening at the Multnomah County Circuit Court in #Portland. Judge Eric Dahlin will be presiding. Media members have been asked to arrive by 9am to discuss guidelines for coverage. The judge is only allowing a pool situation for recording.
OFFICIAL SITE VISIT: This afternoon, King County officials and some #Chinatown-ID leaders will be getting a personal tour of Dow Constantine's(@kcexec) HOMELESS MEGAPLEX. More protests expected. So far no MORATORIUM and the SHELTER is expected to open by end of year. #Seattle🧵👇
ROUND 3 RECAP: Monday afternoon, #Chinatown-ID rallied again. Based on number of elders who marched to the @KCCouncil chambers for public testimony, this narrative is turning into: Asian American SENIOR CITIZENS VS. Dow Constantine(@kcexec) and his HOMELESS MEGAPLEX. #Seattle
CAUGHT OFF GUARD: Members from other communities that had homeless hotels or shelters dumped into their neighborhoods by King County leaders are now starting to join the #Chinatown-ID cause. They know what it's like NOT to be consulted. #Seattle
#BREAKING:Adding insult to injury @KCCouncil says NO Cantonese language translation for 200 plus #Chinatown-ID elders expected to attend Tuesday’s council meeting to protest Dow Constantine’s (@kcexec)HOMELESS MEGAPLEX. #CID organizer says council was given nearly 2 weeks notice.
ROUND THREE: Again, vast majority of protesters on Tuesday will be 70-80 year olds who live in #Seattle’s #Chinatown-ID. They have the most to lose. Organizers say multiple coach buses will be used to transport elders to @KCCouncil chambers for public comment. Plan👇🏽 #Seattle
FACING THIS: Since early September #Chinatown-ID has fought ferociously against Dow Constantine’s(@kcexec) HOMELESS MEGAPLEX. They’re also battling SPIN from city/county officials trying to FRAME it as #CID vs. HOMELESS when in reality they’re already shouldering most of burden.
#EXCLUSIVE: They're back! RV's set up again near 7th Ave S. & S. Fidalgo St in GEORGETOWN after sweep. I've obtained surveillance video showing guy removing "ECO-blocks." Neighbors+biz owners pleading with @seattledot and @MayorofSeattle to enforce.#Seattle
RIGHT NOW: Entire street was cleared by @seattledot@SeattleSPU@MayorofSeattle a few months ago. I was there when crews moved in. I also saw aftermath when biz owners quietly moved in "ECO-blocks." Technically illegal to use. This is now a FULL BLOWN street war. #Seattle
THE DUDE: Biz owners say guy with the hat and orange shirt chained up "ECO-blocks" and dragged several to the side of the road so RV's could move back and park. @seattledot says anyone bringing in these blocks are illegal. What about moving them to the middle of road?#Seattle
