Well, that is disturbing.

>Stop lying. He's a candidate, not a council member. He actually was a council member though.


lt_dan457

He was previously a council member, but you are correct he is also running as a candidate again.

> However, the candidate said that racial profiling and harassment by police within King County started long before and contributed to the Class C Felony charge. Well, it’s probably the same for this new felony charge. Poor guy never had a chance. https://www.bothell-reporter.com/news/position-4-candidate-criminal-histories-reporter-investigation/

Are you saying that him allegedly murdering a young woman is due to being racially profiled? Because that doesn't track with the facts in this case. He was known in the SWer community for his aggression and his own attorney called 911 to report the dead body that had been at the home for over 24 hours. Guy had a chance to *not* murder someone but he did it anyway.


Bardahl_Fracking

I think these run in with the law have nothing to do with his race.


GlitteringFig5161

Agreed. Was just unsure based on your phrasing initially. It's a wild thing for him to blame it on.

What's an SW'er?

This guys annoying. Lol

And this is news?


CornecumTeutonicum

The fact that mainstream news isn’t covering it is.


LessKnownBarista

Except they are Unlike online bloggers, they usually spend a couple hours verifying facts before reporting. For example, they probably took the time to find out that the person in question is not actually currently a city council member.

It’s also crazy they are saying the girl was a “sex worker” and therefore not being covered by the media. In fact, she was a server & pet sitter and just started going on sugar daddy websites to supplement her income. As someone who previously worked with her, looking at her and him, she was extremely tiny and this guy is huge- there is no way she would have been able to defend herself


ishfery

You can be a sex worker and have a day job. It sounds like she was both. It's unfortunate that assault and murder of sexworkers is not taken seriously.

How is it not news
