西雅图民主社会主义市长凯蒂·威尔逊因这座蓝营城市的居民为遏制失控枪击不顾一切修建隔离墙的“讽刺性”场景在网上遭到嘲讽。

威尔逊在西雅图就职仅数月,奥罗拉大道沿线的惊恐居民决定自行解决问题,应对据称与帮派地盘之争、卖淫和非法人口贩卖相关的近乎每晚都会发生的枪击事件。在数周的帮派枪击和高速汽车追逐后,部分居民利用阵亡将士纪念日周末,用金属花坛、泥土、碎石、原木和大块混凝土封锁自家所在街道。这些路障至少封锁了通往该社区的三条街道。

尽管此类举措可能招致罚款,一名名叫彼得·奥尔的居民告诉KTVB 7电视台:“要么这么做,要么子弹打进邻居家里。”

西雅图社区搭建路障的消息在网上让威尔逊的政策遭到抨击。

保守派评论员保罗·西普拉就是批评者之一,他在X平台上写道:“讽刺性不言而喻。”

他写道:“当进步政策导致社区 literally 自行封锁边界……这足以说明一切,”并补充道,“西雅图的领导人应该做些什么,才能让居民不必被迫采取这种行动?”

热门保守账号“TikTok自由派”嘲讽道:“西雅图居民如今正在街区修建围墙,将罪犯挡在外面。”

评论员埃里克·多赫蒂发帖称:“我的天,西雅图这座蓝营城市的愤怒居民如今正在自行搭建路障封锁街道,因为枪击事件太多了。这太疯狂了。”

“这位社会主义市长对此置之不理,”他补充道,“蓝营城市都完蛋了!”

宪法分析师乔纳森·特利写道:“市民搭建路障,再没有比这更能体现社会主义的了。”

曾欢迎社会主义市长“变革”的民主党人如今对富人外流发出警告:“深感担忧”

他嘲讽道:“在这种情况下,《悲惨世界》的居民们正试图保护自己的财产。在选举了一位曾呼吁削减警察预算的市长后,西雅图社区正回到自救措施上来。”

威尔逊于今年1月宣誓就职,她在2020年的一篇专栏文章中就“defund the police(削减警察预算)”运动写道:“现在是尝试的最佳时机。”

在这篇文章中,威尔逊提出“有充分理由直接解散警察局并重新组建”,理由是“机构文化变革难度极大”。

她写道:“暂且不提左翼关于在资本主义制度下是否可能废除警察,或者说究竟是否可能废除警察的争论,我们先来看看当前运动要求将西雅图警察局预算削减一半的诉求。这意味着大量警察会被裁撤。这听起来可能令人担忧,但你要知道,美国警察承担了许多无需武装人员、无需接受暴力冲突训练就能完成的职能——而武装人员往往会造成伤害,这也不足为奇。”

不过作为市长,威尔逊并未将警察预算削减一半。她针对近期枪击事件推出了“多管齐下的枪支暴力应对策略”,召集专家小组帮助该市减少报复性枪击、应对青少年暴力问题,并协调警方、学校和社区团体之间的合作。

威尔逊已暂停该市闭路电视监控和车牌识别系统的扩建,等待隐私审计,同时保留高犯罪区域(包括奥罗拉大道沿线)现有的警方监控系统。

Seattle socialist mayor mocked for ‘irony’ as residents build walls to stop out of control shootings

Seattle residents build barricades to combat rising crime wave

Fox News senior national correspondent William La Jeunesse reports on Seattle residents taking safety into their own hands, building homemade barricades from metal and dirt to block streets. This action comes amidst a surge in shootings, prostitution, and gang-related activities, with residents criticizing Democrat Mayor Katie Wilson and defunded police for a lack of effective response to the escalating crime wave in their community.

Seattle democratic socialist Mayor Katie Wilson is being mocked online over the “irony” of residents in the blue-run city erecting barrier walls in a desperate attempt to stop out-of-control shootings.

Just months after Wilson took office in Seattle, terrified residents in the city’s Aurora Avenue corridor decided to take matters into their own hands to address near-nightly shootings believed to be connected to criminal turf wars, prostitution and illegal trafficking. After weeks of gang-related shootings and high-speed car chases, some residents spent Memorial Day weekend blocking off their own streets using metal planters, dirt, gravel, logs and chunks of concrete. The barricades were set up to block at least three streets leading into the neighborhood.

Though such artifices could incur fines, one resident named Peter Orr told KTVB 7, “It’s either this, or bullets in my neighbor’s houses.”

News of the neighborhood barricades in Seattle has garnered scorn for Wilson’s policies online.

Among these was conservative commentator Paul Szypula, who wrote on X, “The Irony is Undeniable.”

“When progressive policies result in neighborhoods literally barricading themselves off… that says everything,” he wrote, adding, “What should Seattle leaders be doing so residents don’t feel forced to do this?”

Popular conservative account Libs of TikTok mocked, “Seattle residents are now building WALLS on their blocks to keep out criminals.”

Commentator Eric Daugherty posted, “Furious blue city residents in Seattle are now building their OWN BARRICADES to BLOCK streets because shootings are so high Omg. This is MADNESS.”

“The socialist mayor is IGNORING IT,” he added. “BLUE CITIES ARE COOKED!”

Constitutional analyst Jonathan Turley wrote, “Nothing says socialism more than citizen barricades.”

He mocked, “In this case, Les Miserables are seeking to protect their property. After electing a mayor who once called for the defunding of police, Seattle neighborhoods are reverting to self-help measures.”

Wilson, who was sworn into office this January, wrote in a 2020 opinion piece about the defund the police effort that “there’s never been a better time to try.”

In the piece, Wilson posited “there’s a strong argument for simply disbanding police departments and starting over,” reasoning that “institutional culture change is hard.”

“Leaving aside debates on the left about whether police abolition is possible under capitalism, or at all, let’s stick with the current movement demand of cutting the SPD [Seattle Police Department] budget by half. That’s a lot of officers. It may sound alarming, until you realize that U.S. police perform numerous functions for which armed personnel, trained for violent conflict, are unnecessary or unsuited — and often, unsurprisingly, cause harm,” she wrote.

As mayor, however, Wilson has not moved to cut the police by half. She has responded to recent shootings by launching a “multi-pronged gun violence strategy,” in which she convened a panel of experts to help the city reduce retaliatory shootings, address youth violence and coordinate efforts between police, schools and community groups.

Wilson has paused expansion of the city’s CCTV surveillance and license plate reader programs pending a privacy audit, while maintaining existing police camera systems in high-crime areas, including the Aurora Avenue corridor.
