Enforce all existing criminal laws and laws of civility and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. Equal enforcement for all.

Face the facts and strengthen the criminal justice system. Repeat offenders need to be put away and put to work earning their keep like the rest of us.

Our police work so hard and out their lives on the line everyday to keep us safe and get violent criminals off the streets. Please support their efforts by not releasing such people.

I work at 3rd and Pike and my bus stop is the one by Piroshky Piroshky. I caught my E Line bus on 3rd literally minutes before the shooting happened. I’m lucky to have missed the shooting, but believe this is the last straw. All of my coworkers are scared and so many of my family members are worried for my safety because I work in Seattle. Enough is enough and something needs to be done to keep these convicts locked up and off the street.

Dear Leaders, Seattle has a silent majority of liberal Democrats who you are ignoring. How can you possibly think your policies are doing any good?

We need change in downtown Seattle. Anyone breaking a law should have consequences. I haven’t gone downtown in years ...time to clean it up and make it safe again!

A progressive city and safety are not mutually exclusive. Public safety is job one of city council, city prosecutors and the mayor.

The police have no power. When will the mayor and city officials finally see Seattle is dying. This doesn’t even make sense

Seattle has sure gotten a lot worse since I was growing up here. I blame our city government and district elections (which was voted in back in 2013) and the fact that our government is not enforcing the 3 strikes you're out law.

Offenders with over 100 arrests for assault shouldn't be walking the streets

It is critical for Seattle to start enforcing the law. Non-enforcement breeds more law breaking.

With all their combined criminal background.just think how many victims these criminals have. Now they finally killed someone. Officials showing poor judgement on all levels if you ask me. Need to change policies AND the politicians. Vote law and order candidates EVERY time. Better do better dealing with these criminals before you even start talking to me about my self protection and guns. Sure cant count on the city to protect me.

This is ridiculous. We as law abiding citizens are hostages in our own city. Everyday on the bus to and from work, I experience violence and potential violence from criminals that don't care and are not afraid. I hope all of them are voted out and I will do my part to reform our city.

We need people in positions of power to stop cowtowing to the criminals.
