SHOWDOWN IN BURIEN? Homeless men and women camped out in front of #Burien Library and City Hall have until 12pm Friday afternoon to remove their belongings. For weeks now, city leaders have been trying to figure out what to do. Recently, some local faith groups and volunteers… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
SIGNS OF HOPE IN #BURIEN: At this point, the homeless know they cannot stay outside the Library & City Hall. Most of the men and women are preparing to leave. But where will they go? Even though Burien is in King County, neighbors say they have not seen a … twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
POTENTIAL CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT?
Showdown is looming in #Burien. Monday evening, frustrated biz owners and neighbors formed their own coalition, hoping to take back the city on their terms and conditions. This community is fighting back against what's … twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
COMMUNITY CONCERNS: #Burien residents and biz owners still do not have a consensus solution on how to respond to their city's homeless crisis. @burien
FAR-LEFT ACTIVIST IDENTIFIED: For weeks now, many of you have been telling me about Burien's homeless crisis. When I recently visited, the men and women living in tents in front of City Hall were incredibly kind and open to conversations. That is until … twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

THEY CUT HIM LOOSE! Friday afternoon, I thought the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office would formally charge 47 year old Jeffery McMillan with felony harassment after he charged at me with a baseball bat and threatened to kill me in downtown #Seattle. But to my shock, the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
LEGAL EXPLANATION PART 1: This is vital information for crime victims. Here's what happened in this case. #Seattle 👇 Image
LEGAL EXPLANATION PART 2: Here's the rest of it. This was a sobering reminder of where #Seattle is currently at when it comes to the courts. 👇 Image

HERE WE GO AGAIN: Friday evening, I was covering the March for Trans Lives rally in Volunteer Park. Having incredible conversations and trying to better understand this movement in light of the Tennessee mass shooting. People were coming up to me and saying hello. That is until… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
LOOK WHO I FOUND: I spotted the dude who assaulted me last month and harassed @KatieDaviscourt at the Jordan B. Peterson event. We call him the "goblin." I filed a police report and even had video showing the physical contact. But nothing happened to him. We are basically on our… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@KatieDaviscourt THE GOBLIN: Remember this back in February? #Seattle

BAT MAN NO SHOW IN COURT: Well, this is a first in my career. I was in King County Jail Court Thursday afternoon as the victim in this felony harassment case. 47- year old Jeffery McMillan didn't show. But his public defender claimed that I was a right-wing agitator like the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
ATTEMPTED BASEBALL BAT ATTACK: I know Mariners Opening Day is right around the corner, but what happened to me Wednesday morning had nothing to do with America's past time.
I'm on 3rd Ave near #Seattle City Hall, following up on the progress being made to … twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
I MADE THE #SEATTLE POLICE BLOTTER: The real question now, will prosecutors go after this 47 year old suspect? Even then, will the judge release him right away or not? He also had an outstanding warrant. Btw that is a full barrel Mizuno bat.

CITY'S RESPONSE: Right now, @Burien officials say they cannot comment on any pending litigation. Let's see if the biz owners follow through. #Burien Image

#EXCLUSIVE: Last week, WSDOT crews spent days finally clearing the dangerous 1st Ave S Bridge homeless encampment, blamed for shootings and homicides. Police even called it a "chop shop" and dumping ground for stolen cars. I went back and saw a few vehicles left behind. Official… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

SWEEPS ALL WEEK: Day 1 in the books at the Ship Canal Bridge encampment on the Wallingford side, right across street from John Stanford Int. School. @WSDOT crews expect to be on this for a few more days. Then on Thursday, they move across I-5 to tackle the U District side. This… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
THE OTHER SIDE: It's so bad. This part of the Ship Canal Bridge encampment on the U. District side hasn't been getting as much attention. But it's a disaster. Look at the trash building up. WSDOT is sweeping on Thursday. I was there as crews put up the fliers this morning.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
TRASH CITY: This is so crazy. For the first time, I saw this other side trail created by the homeless. It's still on @WSDOT property. It's just full of trash, needles, clothing, junk, etc. Look at all the neighbors on the U. District side who had to put up with this. This is… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
