Seattle Restaurant Hit 25 Times, Owner BEGS Officials Who Can't Help

from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds

Twenty-five break-ins since 2020 at one Seattle restaurant. TWENTY-FIVE. What's the owner's brilliant strategy? Keep calling city officials who can't help him while bleeding six figures in repairs and security upgrades. Meanwhile, Seattle voters just picked a 43-year-old socialist whose parents send her $2,200 monthly for daycare to potentially run the city. You can't make this stuff up.We break down how progressive policies created this crime wave, why the revolving door justice system enables repeat offenders, and what happens when "defund the police" meets reality. From understaffed police departments to judges who think 45 felony convictions deserve diversion programs, Seattle's small businesses are getting crushed by the very policies their owners probably voted for.Is this restaurant owner finally going to cut his losses, or will he stick around for break-in number 50? How long before every business owner realizes their tax dollars are funding their own destruction? What's your breaking point - literally?
