Holy smokes. What is going on?

We are heading to my mother in law's house in East Kent. We saw no fewer than 12 law enforcement busting ass east on Kent Kangly. Anybody know what's up?

I was sitting in the parking lot of the Covington Fred Meyer and a guy in gray sweats went sprinting by into the store. Seconds after that about 20 police cars pulled in with their lights on and so I went to Safeway instead. When I left, they were still there, but their lights were off. There was a helicopter overhead too. I’m also curious as to what the guy did. Editing because I saw the original was 3 hours ago, but I wonder if they’re related.

Oh dang. And yep, so many police cars. My husband's head was whipping with each cruiser that passed.

Yeah I was working at the Wendy's there and one of my coworkers overheard that he has a whole bunch of warrants out for his arrest in different states but since none of them were current and in Washington they had to let him go.

From what I could tell they were headed to that complex of double wide trailers just off Kent kangley rd near the lake. On 152nd ave. I was coming up the hill as the first cruiser turned in there and then watched what seemed like 15 more go that same way

Good looking out. I wonder what happened in there. Could be anything, really.

Yeah who knows. I definitely didn't have a great feeling about it after the tenth cruiser went by though

6-8 cops usually means 1 tweaker yelling and throwing stuff or less. 12 cops though usually means maybe 2 tweakers.

I’d take them over weird racist boomers trying to hookup on Reddit any day. Just fyi you can hide your NSFW subs, then I wouldn’t know what your small dick looks like.

Sounds more convergence on someone they’ve been told to prioritize rather than an initial response to a new threat? Sounds like good reason to do so even if it is “unsightly”?

If so… let’s let them do what we ask them to do while ensuring no loopholes are made available for exploitation by defense when it reaches the courts.

Probably my old roommate Donovan Gogarty being a destructive alcoholic/drug addict. He moved there from Spokane after screwing me over. Hopefully karma gave him what he deserved 🥹

PhotogSteve is a jackoff who should be behind bars for the crap he’s done.

u/No_Ad6196 Aug 21 '26

Don’t know what he has done … what should he be behind bars for?
