Some People Aren’t Fit to Own Businesses

Part of being a good business owner, perhaps the most important part, is not being a d*ck. The owners here fail that one task.

Seattle Pizza Shops Shame, Refuse Service to Unjabbed – Including To-Go Orders (lifezette.com)

Windy City Pie takes it a step further by shaming anyone who has opted not to get the Covid shot, as the text prefacing their online menu tells people to eat out “nowhere” if they haven’t surrendered to the pro-jab mob’s demands:

“IF YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY NOT VACCINATED, PLEASE EAT ELSEWHERE NOWHERE.”

Why can’t rioters take out shops like these?

But they’re not the only ones.

Just like Windy City Pie, would-be patrons of Breezy Town Pizza also require proof that someone has received their Covid shot to dine inside, but at least make an exception for medical exemptions. However, Breezy Town Pizza takes things farther in that even people ordering food to-go need to be jabbed.

I’m vaccinated, but I will still take my business elsewhere, and I hope your business fails spectacularly.

This Is Horrible

And we don’t need the mandate.

13-Year-Old Watches Father Die As Seattle Staffing Crisis – PJ Media

It’s one thing to not be able to get a table in your favorite restaurant due to these mandates, but if you can’t get help in an emergency, we need to re-think this whole thing. People are dying because of the mandate. Not because we don’t have one, but because we do.

The vaccine mandate and a cut in funding in Seattle have led to massive staffing shortages that have cost lives.

The mandate took 100 officers off the streets in Seattle in October, leaving the police department with less than 1,000 active-duty officers. Coupled with a cut in funding for emergency services as a result of the defund-the-police movement, the crisis has led to at least one preventable death.

Last week, the Seattle fire department received a 911 call from a 13-year-old boy at 1:24 p.m. who said his father was experiencing a “medical emergency.”

By 1:26, a unit was dispatched to the address — but not a medic. Two firefighters were sent to the address that had an outdated “cautionary note” for the apartment. A former occupant had made threats to first responders.

The firefighters were instructed to wait for a police patrol to arrive because of the cautionary note. Vital minutes passed as the young man called 911 twice more worried that his father was getting worse.

Finally, disobeying procedure, the firefighters entered the house at 1:39 p.m. They started CPR immediately. Four additional firefighters showed up a minute later. But it wasn’t until 1:45 p.m. that the police and medics arrived on the scene. They worked on the man for an hour but couldn’t save him.

This is crap.

Clearly, Kelsey Grammer Isn’t Listening Anymore

This is currently the most anxious city in the US (nypost.com)

Of the 15 largest metropolitan areas in the US, Seattle is apparently the most stressed out.

The city has the highest percentage of adult residents who reported feeling “nervous, anxious or on edge” for at least several days in the last two weeks, The Seattle Times reported, citing data from the Census Bureau.

According to the newspaper, the data comes from a survey conducted by the bureau’s Household Pulse Survey from Sept. 29 to Oct. 11.

If I lived in a far left city in a far left state, I’d be stressed out too. I’d be wondering what I could do to get the heck out.

But hey, at least they have miserable weather to fall back on.

The Boyfriend Got off Easy. The Dad Is a Hero.

Yes, I really feel that way.

Washington Man Arrested After Rescuing Daughter, Accused Of Killing Boyfriend Who Allegedly Sex Trafficked Her | The Daily Wire

What did the boyfriend do?

According to Spokane police, the suspect learned in October of 2020 that his juvenile daughter had allegedly been sold into a sex-trafficking ring in the Seattle area. Police said he acquired information that indicated his daughter’s then-boyfriend, the victim, may have been the one responsible for the sale.

The father said in court documents obtained by KREM 2 that she had been sold for $1000. He and his fiancĂ© then drove to Seattle, where they rescued the young girl. The couple drove the girl back to Spokane, where she was taken to Sacred Heart Medical Center.  

Right. And what did the dad do?

In November 2020, [the suspect] learned his daughter’s boyfriend was going to be at a location in Airway Heights, WA. [The suspect] waited for the victim and confronted the 19-year-old as he arrived. During that encounter [the suspect] abducted the victim, tying him up and placing him in the trunk of a vehicle. [He] subsequently assaulted the victim by hitting him in the head with a cinder block and then stabbed him repeatedly, causing his death. After the homicide, [the suspect] drove the vehicle to a remote area in North Spokane County and abandoned the car with the body still inside.

The kid got off easy.

“…and Jay Inslee Can Kiss My A***”

[WATCH] State Trooper Quits Over Vaccine Mandate with Defiant Message Over the Police Radio – PJ Media

First responders are quitting over this, and health care workers are too. And that’s just the “essential” jobs. People are walking out all over. It’s going to wreck the economy. It’s going to make cities unsafe. We’re all going to suffer.

Just because Joe thinks we all need to be vaccinated.

On Friday night, Washington State Trooper Robert LaMay took to his patrol car radio for the last time. The veteran trooper was forced to quit the patrol after Democratic Governor Jay Inslee required all Washington state troopers to either submit to the COVID-19 vaccination or quit. LaMay refused to submit and quit, thanking his fellow officers while leaving Inslee with some defiant parting words.

“This is my final signoff. After twenty-two years of serving the citizens in the state of Washington, I’m being asked to leave because I am ‘dirty,'” said a disgusted LaMay, referring to his unvaccinated status.

[…]

“Wish I could say more, but this is it, so State 1034, this is the last time you’ll hear me in a state patrol car—and Jay Inslee can kiss my ass,” LaMay stated as he literally dropped the mic in his lap.

There Are Other Orange People Than Donald Trump?

Because those are the only “people of color” I can see being “marginalized” by a “Pumpkin Parade”.

Seattle School Cancels ‘Pumpkin Parade’ For Marginalizing ‘People Of Color’ | The Daily Wire

A Halloween themed parade at a school in Seattle has been canceled with school administrators arguing that it “marginalizes people of color.”

Following five years of deliberation about the future of the school’s annual pumpkin parade, Benjamin Franklin Elementary School has decided to nix the holiday tradition this year on the advice of the school’s Racial Equity Team.

The Pumpkin Parade had traditionally featured a procession of elementary students dressed in Halloween costumes.

“Historically, the Pumpkin Parade marginalizes students of color who do not celebrate the holiday,” a spokesperson told Jason Rantz, a Seattle-based conservative radio host. “Specifically, these students have requested to be isolated on campus while the event took place.”

Oh. it’s because some people of color don’t celebrate Halloween.

Hmm.

There are lots of people who don’t celebrate Halloween. I doubt that is limited to just people of color. In fact, I would venture to guess that the number of Caucasians in the U.S. who don’t celebrate Halloween far outnumbers the number of people of color who don’t.

I’d guess by at least an order of magnitude.

Anyway. Fine. You don’t want to celebrate Halloween to be inclusive. I can handle that. Don’t claim it’s racist though. That’s just stupid.
