Wolfe and his fiancée, who witnessed the alleged assault, believe the attack was related to Wolfe being transgender, according to court documents.

    before blaming non voters… id blame votera who voted for this, and are still in support of it.

    a lot of them are powerful and own media networks, so they can influence others

      Spokane is, at best, purple. Recent congressional elections had one Republican and around 10 Democrats or independents. That sycophant Baumgartner won again. Washington may have been the only state that went more blue during the last presidential election, but that was in spite of the eastern part of the state going more red. May as well be Idaho, but the thought of joining Idaho sickens me.

        Spokane City itself is blue. The problem is the city is in district 5 which is made up of a lot of rural counties and is very red. Spokane has a population of 260,000 but the district has a population of 800,000.

        Baumgartner doesn’t give a shit about Spokane. His voters are out in the counties.

        Also, it seems like on any given day half the license plates in Spokane are from Idaho.

      Let’s blame both. The ones who actively voted for this and the ones who let it happen by not voting.
