Colion Noir takes a look at deep blue Seattle’s rampant heroin epidemic, where citizens wake up every morning to find used needles littering their streets and parks.
A few sobering takeaways:
Someone dies of a heroin or opioid overdose every 36 hours in King County.
Seattle gave homeless junkies a small encampment to live in. Result? 103% increase in area crime.
Jewish cemetery had problems with addicts and prostitutes, so they hired security guards. Suddenly, city officials took notice…of people having guns. “Jews with guns? Can’t have that!”
The police want to enforce the law, but elected official won’t let them.
“Seattle stopped enforcing their own laws.”
“I lived in New York under Giuliani, and I watched the broken windows thing in action. It showed how you can clean up a city.”
“MS-13 has moved into Seattle because they know no one is going to do anything about them.”
Homeless people walk into the local supermarket, grab stuff off the shelf, and walk out, and employees are instructed not to intervene.
“If you want to be a criminal, Seattle is a very good place to be.”
Keep in mind that the last Republican Mayor of Seattle was James d’Orma Braman, who left office March 23, 1969.

“the last Republican Mayor of Seattle was James d’Orma Braman, who left office March 23, 1969.”
That’s a stark reminder and warning. Once these people take power, there’s no getting rid of them. And it’s not because they’re good leaders, rather, because they rig the system.

“I’ve lost friends and family to stigma and judgement.”
Get a clue. Living in an abandoned house and shooting up is bad, stupid, horrible, dumb,…
But what about their self-esteem???
