I typically am only downtown to get them late at night (i.e. after the bar/club) but this one appears to be open normal hours and is pretty close to downtown. Are you downtown or at the airport? Because the airport is about 25 minutes from Seattle itself, which can be a pricey taxi ride (although you can catch the light rail up into Seattle for about $3).

Downtown, actually not too far from that spot.

Staying with a friend out in Olympia while wrapping up some visa stuff before going to Japan, and the rides between there and here are few and far between lol

Yeah, there's a ton of food/drink options in the area. Yelp is usually pretty spot on with them.

If you can make it up to Paseo in one of the northern Seattle neighborhoods I would recommend it (if you're willing to brave the line).

As far as touristy stuff, the typical things are Pike Place Market and maybe the waterfront.

gotta look at both sides

the rallying call of people who think all insults or opinions are equivalent

might as well go watch Fox News while you're at it.

It's funny how real shitty discriminatory/bigoted behavior tends to have the same defense because it tends to come from the same group.

"kids do stupid shit tho"
"we need both sides of the story"
"you can't judge what people said in anger"

The apologist don't surprise anymore, it's GAF. But at some point you should stop dancing around the fucking issue at hand, and really ask yourself if that response is appropriate.

Yeah, we don't know their life story, for all we know the guy in the video goes around recording racist, and that was 4th black dude that lady unloaded on this year! It doesn't fucking matter! And her "apology" makes it clear she is a batshit crazy racist.

Yet we still get post that imply that there isn't enough info to determine if she is a racist. Lol. The willful ignorance is too much.

Some people hang on to being young in the worst of ways. Congrats on being loud, harassing people from a stoop and getting wasted before 2 in the afternoon while you're pushing 30.

You guys see the Neil DeGrasse Tyson thread where Fox News made a joke about Tyson being racially profiled ("Sorry Neil, but you fit the profile!")?

man...... today has been a day here on GAF bro. The levels of hate seem to have elevated. Especially with some recent dealings at work today. Speaking of which; cdyhybrid what's the race relations like in Oregon bro? We have a couple of offices over there and working with those guys is difficult for people like myself. However if I use a white co-worker as a filter I get little to no pushback as opposed to when I try to go to them directly.

Beaverton and Salem Oregon specifically.

I also got stopped once, doing 85 in a 55, at four in the morning, with a fifteen year old in my car, smoking a joint, and carrying an ounce.

I'm pretty sure being a white teenager saved me on that one. Also, being the luckiest bastard on the planet.

Devo would probably know better than I would (I've only visited Portland a few times), but my impression is that outside of the Portland area you're looking at a very rural, red state.

Work has me switching departments every month now. I regret putting "open" for my availability. If I wasn't enjoying my position right now (Loss Prevention/greeter) I'd prolly quit. I'd have quit already if I didn't have vacation days I needed to use. I ain't missing EVO dammit.

Are you planning on being there for long? Either go open or don't bother coming in. You will be able to advance on a open schedule but if you have 0 desire to get more CHINGLE CHINGLE my friend, well, then I'd leave now or just do what you feel like doing.

You ever meet that dude from GAF that works with you?

Everyone at work likes me, from warehouse to management. So unless I fuck up royally, my job is secure. And I like it there, so it's no huge deal. I just wish they'd make up their minds where they want me. But they also trust me, as one if the managers mentioned.

And I never met that dude.

the fact that he posts the video without filtering the kids, shows he is inconsiderate too
that woman can press for charges for this, far more serious than racism

Kids were in public, if you are in public you are fair game for picture taking and videos. Please explain how this is more serious than racism.

if someone records your kid with their camera/phone whatever and publishes it on youtube, it goes beyond fair game. it is not a public camera.

a reason why you need parents permission. or else the face should be filtered.
I wonder why Youtube hasnt removed the video due to this

I don't think black ppl necessarily will target those kids. But maybe asshole teachers will say something to them, or any kids in general

Florida - Brevard judge on leave after public defender fight
http://www.mynews13.com/content/new...ticles/cfn/2014/6/3/brevard_judge_accuse.html

VIERA --
Chaos in a Brevard County courtroom -- between a judge and a public defender. Things got so heated it came to blows.

The public defender's office likens what happened to an episode of Jerry Springer.

Judge Murphy: "If I had a rock, I would throw it at you right now. "Stop 'beeping' me off, I'll take care of it. I don't need your help."

Weinstock: "I am a public defender and I have a right to be here and stand here and represent...

The tension was building in Judge John Murphy's courtroom between him and public defender Andrew Weinstock.

Judge Murphy: "I said sit down! If you want to fight let's go out back and *expletive.*"

And with those words, both men headed to the hallway. That's when a ruckus could be heard.

"According to the lawyer, as soon as the lawyer entered the hallway behind the courtroom, the judge grabbed him by the collar and began punching him in his head," said Blaise Trettis, 18th Judicial Circuit Public Defender.

Trettis said Weinstock never threw any punches of his own and was just trying to defend himself.

Courtroom deputies broke up the fight, which was out of camera view.

"The judge, I think, just couldn't take anymore," said Beverly Allgood, who was seated in the court for a case.

She said the public defender was rude to the judge.

"The judge took care of him, I suppose, because he never came back out," she said.

Seconds after the ruckus was over, the crowd in the courtroom broke into applause.

"The only thing I can think of is that it's the best entertainment they've seen since the end of the Jerry Springer show," said Trettis.

After the two threads I posted today I'm not sure I have it in me to do another.


The video is great, too. The courtroom bursts into applause + the judge screaming "DO YOU WANT TO FUCK WITH ME?"

Yeah.

Stay classy, Brevard.
