CHARGES EXPECTED TO BE FILED TODAY: Accused graffiti vandals Casey Cain and Jose G. Betancourth are facing felony level charges for allegedly going on a tagging rampage across parts of #Seattle. Cain(EAGR/EAGER) made bail, but Betancourth(SATN/SATAN) remains behind bars. ImageImage
GRAFFITI TURF WAR? Cain and Betancourth's arrest sent shockwaves throughout #Seattle's graffiti community. The duo was seen as "untouchable" since their work was so prolific. But they also have enemies. The word "TOY" is tagged over some of EAGR/EAGER's work. Sign of DISRESPECT.
DISSING EACH OTHER: If you see "TOY" tagged over another tag, it basically means they think your work sucks. But some graffiti artists say EAGR/EAGER is a "TOY" because he selfishly took up valuable #Seattle real estate and did not leave room for others.

SERIOUS CHARGES: King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office says graffiti may not seem like big deal, but collectively, duo allegedly cause more than $100K in damage, especially hurting small biz owners in #Chinatown-ID, on the hook for cleaning tags.

THEY GOT EM: Police immediately responded and made arrests without incident. #Seattle

EAGR/EAGER: Police say Cain has a tattoo that says "EAGER" and allegedly admitted to tagging up the building. #Seattle

SATN/SATAN: Betancourth told officers he was a mural painter. He was also wanted on a $750K warrant. #Seattle

WASHINGTON'S MOST WANTED LIST: Authorities say Betancourth, aka SATAN, also has ties to Yakima, WA. #Seattle

TOO EAGR/EAGER: Earlier this summer, look what happened to @SeattlePD mobile precinct in downtown #Seattle. That tag is everywhere.

THEY LOVE CID: The tagger duo hit up Chinatown-ID/Little Saigon on the regular. Nearby Central District as well. #Seattle @MayorofSeattle This was back in May when I saw this. 👇🏽

CONSTANTLY CLEANING: @MayorofSeattle
and city teams have been consistently going out and painting over tags. But keeping up with these prolific vandals remains a challenge. #Seattle
DECLARING WAR ON GRAFFITI: In October,
@MayorofSeattle doubled down on WAR ON GRAFFITI. Then a massive mural along I-5 on @wsdot property went up mocking the Mayor. Unclear who's behind it. But recently, others tagged over it.#seattlesnow
KEEPING HIS WORD: Back in April, @MayorofSeattle held press conference, asking for state help as well and vowing to make a difference. EAGR/EAGER'S arrest THURSDAY, huge first step sending message GRAFFITI vandalism will no longer be tolerated. #Seattle
REMEMBER THIS? I confronted these graffiti vandals back in April at Cal Anderson Park. Then one of them came after me. #Seattle

NASTY GRAFFITI CULTURE: A lot of the messaging promotes violence and threats. Cal Anderson Park remains a hot spot. But I have never seen EAGR/EAGER or SATAN/SATN tags in this area. They're heavily in CID, Downtown, and Central District. #Seattle

NEW: Hundreds of evangelical Christians will pack Seattle City Hall Tuesday evening (5pm) to demand an apology and resignation from Mayor Bruce Harrell(@MayorofSeattle.)
Over the weekend, he called their concert an "extreme right-wing rally." 🧵👇
Instead of condemning the Antifa violence, the Mayor victim blamed the Christians and accused them of hosting their event at Cal Anderson Park to provoke the LGBTQ community. Here is the original release.
The Mayor lied. I have obtained an email showing the Christians actually wanted to host the concert at a park near Pike Place Market. The city suggested other options like Cal Anderson Park and then gave out the permit.

NEW: Border Czar Tom Homan needs to scrutinize the un-American actions of La Resistencia, a far-left activist group that wants to abolish ICE and shut down the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, WA.
Once again, protesters disrupted my coverage. 🧵👇
Their founder and leader is Maru Mora Villalpando, a green-card holder from Mexico.
A few months ago, she tried to bully me at Boeing Field in Seattle, where illegals are being flown out for deportation. But she doesn't know the First Amendment.
Villalpando needs a damn primer on what it means to be a green-card holder.

NEW: Issaquah, WA cops say a 55 year old woman is facing charges for Malicious Mischief in the Third Degree for her role in the Tesla keying incident that has now gone viral.
After multiple leads, I can confidently say the suspect is Kamelia Enzler. 🧵👇
Enzler lives in Bellevue, which is only a 10 minute drive from the location of this incident.
Several neighbors spotted her now infamous white Toyota 4Runner in the driveway with the matching license plate and bike rack. The Internet wins again. Image
Enzler has wiped her social media profiles and is now laying low according to people who know her. Image
