The other day I saw a young woman carving on a stick with a knife in downtown Woodinville... in front of a bank.

No one was shot by the police, or even accosted.

It's a Christmas miracle in June.

[the above is a true story]

Lets see,

She was a woman

She was likely not Native American or other minority commonly hassled by police

She was probably not drunk or stoned

She wasn't in downtown Seattle

She didn't encounter Ian Birk

Look at all she had going for her.

Good thing that as a responsible citizen you didn't view her carving as a threat to society and preemptively take her out.

I mean you don't have a police union, and a "justice" (cough cough) system to protect you. :cool:
