Two left-wing radicals and one Republican are running for city attorney in Seattle. The winner could well be the most radical candidate, Nicole Thomas-Kennedy who wants to abolish the police and prisons. She also doesn’t believe in most crimes. The radicals in Seattle are excited about T-Kennedy.
Candidate, Pete Holmes has done a terrible job in the city attorney’s office, but he is better than T-Kennedy. The best candidate is Republican, Ann Davison.
Thomas-Kennedy doesn’t hide her extremist views; she brands herself with them. And it’s got Seattle’s militant activist base excited.
The public defender calls herself an abolitionist. She doesn’t believe in most prosecutions and says she will effectively legalize most crimes. Like many ignorant ideologues, she claims the criminal justice system is racist, and it’s up to white heroes like herself to dismantle this system of oppression. Thomas-Kennedy, according to The Stranger, wants to cut the city attorney’s criminal division. She would also stop prosecuting most misdemeanors.
“The prosecutor’s ethical duty is to seek justice, but there’s no justice in prosecuting people for crimes of survival and poverty, or in making the lives of people in desperate situations worse. The very least that the city attorney could do is to stop prosecuting people for most misdemeanors,” she explained.
She’s clueless about her role in protecting victims. T-Kennedy likes to pretend the system is too tough on criminals.
Surprisingly, it’s a tight race, and Holmes, an incumbent, is doing poorly because people realize he’s doing a terrible job. They have record-high homicides in the city.

Lived in Seattle at one time, and other places in WA state. It was a beautiful city back then. Today I wouldn’t go near the place, nor the state. Sad. The current crop of leftists see only the power and control they can squeeze out of the citizens, the ones who work for a living and pay taxes, to support… Read more »
@ DES, Reality is a construct of the white male capitalist pig patriarchy and it will be improvementated because that old whitey cracka devil Euro Western Civ stuff is crap. (sarc) These enlightened evolved beings have figured out how to work their iGadgets and roll a joint in the roller that came with the pouch tobacco pack while being just… Read more »
Anarchy and law of the jungle in a citywide CHAZ/CHOP zone!
What a progressive enlightened golden utopia.
They are working toward the San Francisco model and comrade Chesa B. has some tips while Georgie Sorrows has some of that capitalist pig filthy lucre to pass out.
Nicole Thomas-Kennedy should just run on the platform of not believing in reality. “Deny Reality, Live a Fantasy” should be her motto. I am sure there are plenty of people in Seattle that motto would really resonate with.
