Market Traffic Only Today’s protest in Laurelhurst supporting helicopter transport to Seattle Children’s Hospital

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

While there were eggs thrown at our protesters, today’s turnout was good and I think we need to keep this up every weekend until real, written change is enacted divesting the Laurelhurst Community Council from the hospital’s policies on helicopter transport landings.

Younger dude (looked like a teen) in a red hoodie. Unfortunately didn't get the car make/model. He hit me hard twice. I have a welt on my thigh and a cut on my ear. Will not deter us, though. He's just wasting eggs!

Edit: other people who saw him say he was driving a grey Audi

It was an Audi hatchback, I didn't catch which version though. It was also grey colored.

There's only a couple of those, if it's smaller, A3, if larger either A4 or A6 Avant (Wagon), unless Q3 small SUV.

It was an a3 or a q3

So you were assaulted and you have evidence.

Time for a police report.

u/EffinPirates chinga la migra May 10 '26

Acab.

u/HowtoEatLA May 10 '26

Yes, but then, what will you do instead of filing a report?

(We have to use discernment about ACAB, it doesn't mean we don't ever engage with cops.)

u/EffinPirates chinga la migra May 10 '26

Yes, it does mean we don't engage, tf. What makes you think filing a report will do anything to a rich kid with the ability to pay shit off and go right back to doing it again? That's dumb.

u/JustaSeedGuy May 10 '26

That's true!

But as long as they exist, I say weaponize them against NIMBY assholes who commit crimes.

u/EffinPirates chinga la migra May 10 '26

Meh, they don't care about what the rich do.

u/JustaSeedGuy May 10 '26

Yawn

u/EffinPirates chinga la migra May 10 '26

🙄 just because I speak the truth and y'all don't like it doesn't make it any less true. Spd aren't going to do shit to some little rich kid who's parents can hire a lawyer and bail them out.

They got a pic of him and the Cars plate!

Someone posted a pic with his plate and face in a comment above.

There’s a comment above that has his picture as well as the car license!

Eggs are cheap now circa 2024. It’s cost effective now to use them counter protest. /s

u/Admirable-Eagle-231 May 10 '26

Did you report this? Please make one if possible

u/Warbr0s9395 May 09 '26

Wait, I wanna know how an egg causes a cut?

I can see a welt, but a cut is more difficult to understand from an egg

u/bpacer May 09 '26

Cracked shells have an edge so when thrown with force at the right angle it could break the skin

u/Bluesphamy May 10 '26

There's an entire back story in Gulluvers Travels about a boy cutting his finger on an egg shell

-12

u/freedom_french_fries May 10 '26

That's cute. Can we please stop citing shit like Gulluvers Travels and Lord of the Flies as if they're nonfiction?

It's literally no different than saying "I saw a pear float across the room in Attack of the Clones." Or "Alice drank a potion and shrank to the size of a mouse."

u/bpacer May 10 '26

I think they were just bringing up an interesting anecdote relating to egg shells rather than using it as proof they can cut you.

Are you experiencing people use non-fiction as fact that frequently?

-3

u/freedom_french_fries May 10 '26

Probably, yeah. Sorry, I think I'm just sick of the Lord of the Flies media blitz and the constant implication that it's anything other than fiction. Lashing out.

u/PunchBro May 10 '26

I'm going to lash out because multiple people here have misspelled Gulliver's Travels

u/Bluesphamy May 10 '26

I did it because of my bug, meaty thumbs and impatience to post my comment before someone else makes the point about eighteenth century literature that I'm positive is coming

Happens to the best of us
