I had to share the crazyness in my "hood" :shock:
I live in suburbia. You could even call it yuppie-town.. Hailed as a safe and often "rich" area with miles of lake front property in the greater Seattle area.
So what the hell is going on! In the past week there have been two news-worthy events within 2 miles of my place the latter happening IN MY YARD!!!
I'll ellaborate:
I got home at about 6:30 last night from Erik's place (Selling off his tank) with my georgous table coral and clam. I was working in the garage over my tank acclimating them when my wife enters and says "Hunny... There are cops all over our yard with GUNS and they blocked our cars in!!" So I ask calmly "Well did it look like they are coming toward us or past us" She wasnt sure, so I figure they are busting someone on the run. Then we here our door open! So I instantly open the garage (shirtless
) to get my wife out only to be waved back by 4 cops all carrying M-16's. Turns out it was just the girl we are letting stay with us through the winter (church missionary). Then a knock on the door. An officer asked me if my backyard had access to the adjacent property. So "right this way sir" I showed him a good route with a vantage point, but it quickly became apparent the line of sight was bad so I offered him my deck (sweet line of sight). I then took my wife and our friend into the basement and asked them to sit on the floor since the cop told me the gentlemen they were after had heavy stuff. So the three of us prayed for the man causing trouble and the safety of the brave officers and community for a little while. In the meantime officers were coming and going through our house and rumbling some furniture. Peaking out the basement window there were two cops stationed behind my boat and truck. Turns out my place proveded quite the cover between a high line of sight on the deck and multiple long vehicles (F-150 and Boat) Pretty cool! The rifles were georgous btw..
Well about 10min later the officer on the deck came down and told us the guy gave himself up THANK YOU LORD!! Big praise to the cops for their calm management of the situation and safety consideration of my family. Just had a dining room chair turned over on the deck to provide better cover for the officer positioned there..
I don't have much of the story but a gentlemen in my culdasac had shot an automatic rifle earlier triggering a call to the police by a neighbor. Given it took a while to get him to give-up he must have been distraut about something.. It caught the attention of about 15-20 officers anyway :|
So that's the more exciting story but just last week an innocent store-clerk (man) working at a mini-store/gas station at the bottom of my hill was killed brutally by a dude who had been drinking earlier that night at a near-by bar (Chinese resteraunt I go to) and returned to the store several hrs later just to shoot the poor clerk I just hate the thought of cold blooded murder.. that poor family I believe he had three children
To ice the cake we also had another house vacated in my culdasac I believe because of the drug dealing taking place. There was like 12 people living there and they trashed the house...
I LIVE IN SUBURBIA!!!! WTH IS GOING ON!!!
God bless our local police. They are class-acts through and through.
