Why was it a really really bad idea to be a criminal in Queen Anne (Seattle) this Friday? There was a very large memorial and parade held for the slain police officer in Queen Anne's Key Arena early Friday afternoon. They closed down streets, blocked off roads. They estimated about 1500 people to show up including police officers from all over the country (and Canada). In case you can't see the above pictures, it was all blue and white and sirens for a 4 block stretch on one side of the street. And on the other was a 4 block stretch of "unmarked, undercover" Chevy Subarbans. There was even this one classic police car from the 50's that I wanted to snap a pic of, but seeing as I was driving at the time, taking pics with my cellphone, AND there was about 15 cops in dress black surrounding the aforementioned car, I felt it wise to refrain from any illegal activity.
In somewhat the same thread...I've really been digging this song from Caged Elephant. I think it brings out the badass in me!

Pffft! I forget what I was going to say now because my wv is "reeked" ~
Hee hee hee.
No, I haven't had a shower yet? Why you askin?
I didn't see that at all but I heard all about it... because not only did I get a UW alert about it, everyone in my family who works for UW/works for a company that is affiliated with the UW received an email about it and emailed it to me. Haha
E!!!! I miss reading your blog. I mean, I've been reading it (the videos are a little harder because my earphones are broken)... but not commenting. Hope all's well with you. I especially like that entry about how you took yourself out... by yourself. And the pictures that you posted with it :)
Btw, there's an award for you on my blog. Enjoy, my dear!
The suspect they have has DNA linked to this and at least one other scenes of police killings. Good thing Washington is a death penalty state.
My friends warned me about the funeral procession on the way downtown that morning. I wasn't in the area that day. It's really tragic what happened.
By the way, it's "Cage The Elephant". Yeah, that's a good song. I have a couple of songs that bring out the "badass" in me too, like "The One" by Slaughterhouse and "Wake Up" by Rage Against the Machine.
But apparently the PERFECT day for committing crime anywhere else in a 50 mile radius!
I think it's awesome that you have parade's for slain officers.
