I hope there ain't a limit of how many people we can put on the ignore list! It's starting to grow quite long! LOL.

I sense that in within two years, Wilson will be traded as the team rebuilds.

Seahawks won't lose to the Lions, will they?

Have they quit, or are they really that bad?

Don't have any idea what you're referring to.

I am posting this, from the link posted on the News thread.

So, just listen up, and talk about giving guys the heads up to avoid these police stings in Bellevue. They're as active in 2021, as they were in 2016.

The next thing that happened is my friend shot him (everyone carries in Alaska). The guy survived and no charges were filed against my friend. They didn't file charges against the road rage guy either guess they figured getting shot was punishment enough.

I love it, Radium!!

Even if your friend gave the Middle finger to the perp, which I doubt he did, breaking his window went too far. Maybe slap the window, even spit on the car in the heat of the moment, maybe. Your friend had every right to defend himself.

One time I had some pusswad road rage on me over by Mill Creek. It was a chilly and icy morning so I had them chase me down a steep, curvy hill. I took one corner a little too fast on purpose and they came blazing into the corner and right off the road into the ditch -- and the ditch was about four feet deep and they weren't getting their F150 out without a wrecker. Problem solved.

YEAH! Right on!!

I wish that Asshole East and Asshole Connector, this week, would hit an icy patch, and slide off the road! Like, on I-5 crossing Lake Union, Asshole East flying off the road and into the lake, is my fantasy!!

Every so many posts, I want to put a reminder as to why I'm talking about "road rage asshole incidents" in Bellevue: I'm ranting, that I would rather the Bellevue Police Department spend their energy, time, and resources into ticketing, arresting, prosecuting and jailing these assholes. I'm sure that I'll get no disagreement: Would you rather the Bellevue Police focus on these assholes who act like Alpha Beta frat boys in Revenge of the Nerds, driving recklessly? Rather than, having this very same Bellevue Police setting up stings at, presumably, motels like Red Lion Inn on 112th, Extended Stay on Main Street, and Comfort Inn by the Dairy Queen in Eastgate, targeting mostly harmless socially awkward guys, who belong in Lambda Lambda Lambda? Exactly.

In addition to Asshole West, Asshole East, let me tell you about Asshole Connector. I'm a slow driver, but I stay in the right lane. I've never gotten a speeding ticket. I can't figure out why faster drivers insist on being in the right lane, unless they're making a right turn soon. Pass me on the left! I'm driving North on Lake Hills Connector, and get stopped at 8th. A faster car was right behind me. After the light, he moves to the left lane, which is fine, but then cuts right back in front of me, tightly, into the right lane! At the moment, I thought he was trying to send a message to me. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt that he didn't realize how close he was. If drivers get mad at me for being in the left lane going slow, I actually understand that. But, the right lane is for slower drivers. Elementary. So, this is Asshole Connector. I looked at my cell phone for the time, got his license plate, and reported him to the Bellevue Police.

Just North of there is an off ramp from Northbound I-405. You know how many cars I've seen run the red light at that intersection? Here's why red light runners piss me off: I know a family, whose son has been paraplegic since age 4, because a car ran a red light and hit his car. I've reported to the Bellevue Police numerous times, documenting the time of day from my cell phone clock, when I've seen a red light runner at that off ramp.

Here is why I'm ranting: In light of the most recent Bellevue police sting.

Here are the stings I'm aware of: 2016 of the League of extraordinary gentlemen. 2018 at an AMP which caught Mitch L. of KJR. 2020 a motel sting advertising BBFS. And, this latest one reported by KCPQ. The League sting I can kind of side with the police, because the were talking about BBBJ, BBFS, dato, rimming, and Greek, right in the open in Pumphouse Grill. But, what about Tri Lambda socially awkward guy who just wants a doggy style date with an Asian girl, at the East gate Comfort Inn?

You all see, I now have given three concrete examples of where the Bellevue Police neglected to crack the whip on aggressive drivers and traffic violators. That is my complaint, and it's fully relevant to the topic and hobby. I described the long chase that occurred with Asshole West. Where was the Bellevue Police during that Friday night chase? They were likely setting up a sting at the La Quinta Hotel, or the Homestead Inn, looking for a nerd to arrest. Negligence!!

Second, if he's pulled up next to me, I punch in 9-1-1 on my Android, show it to the asshole, and put my finger next to the DIAL icon.

I can understand him getting pissed if I stuck a middle finger up at him. These assholes are such assholes, they get mad when I point an index finger at them! Assholes!

The first story happened on a Friday night years ago. On NE 8th, driving West, a car was following close behind me. He got into the left turn lane, and I pointed an INDEX finger at him. He pulled back behind me. Next thing, I realized this asshole was following me! So down 100th I went, pulled into the Taco Bell parking lot, the asshole still behind me! I pull up to the light by the Jack in the Box. Light was red. He stopped and got out of his car. I sped away. East on Main Street, North on 108th, NE 2nd, North in 112th, and I was going through red lights because this asshole wouldn't let go of me! I drive up the hill on 4th, realizing later that I passed by the Police station , and City Hall. I made a sharp turn to go North on 110th, and this asshole Screeched his breaks, to keep following me! I went through the Bus lane at the Bellevue Transit Center, and this asshole still following me! I got to 108th and 8th, and cut quickly in front of another car and made a right turn. There were at least two cars between that asshole and I. At 112th and 8th where the Dairy Queen used to be, now John Howie Steak, I went Southbound 405. By then, there were five possible ways I could have gone, and he would have had to guess. I was SO scared, I high tailed it to the Seattle Police station on Pike Street and 12th, in Seattle.

How the fuck did we run into NO Bellevue Police cars? How could we have sped, gone through red lights, and No police cars? Where the fuck were you, Bellevue police? You're supposed to be Protecting me from these assholes!

Story was a year later. Coming out of Taco Bell in Overlake. Exiting the parking lot. Pedestrians crossing in front of me.

You give a gesture that can me construed as "the middle finger" and you're bend out of shape that these people took offense? Granted their actions are over the top but you have to admit you contributed to the escalation of the situation. Nobody knows how people are going to react, there are a lot of screwed up people out there. Best to give them a wide birth.

What he did was clearly not ok, probably not legal, and completely his fault. But if you understand that someone might get pissed if you stick a middle finger at them, then you should understand that ANY gesture towards someone can piss them off if done in the right way. Probably best not to engage in any manner unless you're willing to deal with the potential consequenses.

Greatly appreciated, seriously, that you acknowledge that Asshole West and Asshole East (especially Asshole East) were wrong for what they did.

I'm still bothered to this day, that Asshole East honked at me, because I wouldn't drive forward, with pedestrians literally crossing in front of my car!

Just to do some Devils Advocate: What if a driver got mad at me for cutting him off, and he stuck his tongue out at me? Yes, a male 20+ sticking his tongue out at somebody. I wouldn't get one bit angry at that gesture. I guess what I'm saying is, there is a line which certain gestures fall below, where one shouldn't have a conniption fit about it. Middle finger is clearly over the line. I guess I just have a different opinion, in that index finger, with no profane words attached, is below the line.

Problem solved.

I really wish I had a dash cam the other day in Issaquah. Pretty late at night, but streets leading up to 90 were still crowded. Father and son team in a pickup got their panties in a twist. The father actually parked on the ramp leading down to 90 and started approaching my car while the son (asshole) stuck his head out of the window looked back at me and made the shooting symbol with his hands. I got lucky with some cars clearing away and sped off on I-90 to avoid them. It is the holiday season and as much as they are frustrated and need a good fight before they get home. I do not. Showing a shooting gesture with your hand and approaching a car are both exceeding aggressive and stupid moves that can cause them to loose their own lives if they meet the wrong person. Honestly I am glad I got away and kept my cool. Engaging crazy people does not help solve a problem. It just compounds it.
