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

#EXCLUSIVE: An Eastside mother was brutally assaulted Monday morning by a mob of Issaquah High School students during an anti-ICE classroom walkout.
She says it was totally unprovoked and the cops just watched it all go down without intervening.
This victim fears retaliation so she didn't want me to use her name for this interview.
But this mom is speaking out now to warn parents and school leaders about the massive safety risks around these unsanctioned pop-up protests. 🧵👇

Last week a Seattle middle school student fell into a lake during an anti-ICE classroom walkout.

NEW: Bellevue parents better wake up. A communist group is trying to infiltrate several public high schools in WA and is now mobilizing students for a direct action against ICE officers.
None of this is student led or organic. 🧵👇🏽 Image
According to social media posts, a group called Puget Sound Revolutionary Youth is the mastermind behind this Eastside social unrest.
These far-left activists are trying to indoctrinate the next generation with commie propaganda. Image
Image
This is straight out of Mao’s playbook. Image

Egypt and Iran are blasting the so called "Pride Match" next year when the FIFA World Cup comes to Lumen Field. 🧵👇 Image
Mehdi Taj, the president of the Iran Football Federation: “Both Egypt and we have objected, because this is an unreasonable and illogical move that essentially signals support for a particular group, and we must definitely address this point.” Image
Image
Iran and Egypt argue that the Pride event contradicts their cultural and religious values. Both countries criminalize gay relationships and in Iran it is punishable by the death penalty.
In some instances, they throw homosexuals off rooftops. Image
