Taxpayers Revolt As Socialist Mayor Tries Solving Pimp Epidemic With ‘Barricades’

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson reportedly built a wall to mitigate violent crime in her city.

Seattle built barriers along Aurora Avenue in response to shootings and sex trafficking in the area, The Seattle Times reported Thursday. The new effort began amid backlash from locals over the mayor’s crime policies.

“Oftentimes it requires that we ask a survivor to come and do one of the hardest things in their life, to come into a courtroom and sit across the table on the witness stand from the person who caused them irreparable harm,” King County senior deputy prosecutor Alexandra Voorhees reportedly said. “ commercial sex work is between 12 and 15 years old.”

“I’m so tired of the B.S.,” car repair shop owner Adam Elhaj said after an arsonist torched three cars at his shop last April, according to The Seattle Times. He also reportedly said “ get out the next day” even after being arrested.

There were seven reported shootings in the area last April and eight the following month, The Seattle Times reported May 29. Police reportedly said many such shootings are tied to the sex trade. Residents responded by placing planters along several side streets that May, while Wilson discussed looking for more permanent solutions.

The city later replaced those planters with concrete traffic barriers — a solution that received mixed responses from local business owners, according to The Seattle Times.

“You can’t drive in a straight line anywhere anymore,” Rich’s Custom Upholstery owner Moe Pilgrim reportedly said. Meanwhile, Greenwood Radiator Services owner Ron Linson reportedly said that one customer recently asked concerning crime in the area, “Should I wear a bulletproof vest?”
