If you dare to be an activist doing anything not in solidarity with the Seattle Left, you always run the risk of being personally threatened. Leftists just can’t help themselves. They always personally threaten those who disagree with them. I’m used to it, but it still sometimes makes an impression when I see it happen to someone else.
I was reminded of how tolerant the political establishment in Washington State has become with threats like this when I watched the video linked below of a Leftist threatening Tim Eyman outside Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan’s office a week ago. “We’re coming for you,” with her finger pointing at Eyman and glaring in his face. This wasn’t just another Evergreen College student or Antifa Nut (not that they can’t be both at the same time). Nope, the nice lady making the threat was Alex Hudson, who is the Executive Director of The Transportation Choices Coalition. This is the group who does Sound Transit’s dirty work for them. They carry the political water when Sound Transit wants another $40 Billion tax dollars to waste on 19th Century Technology, and they are well paid to do this. Apparently, threatening people is also part of the job description.
Eyman was surrounded by enemies and the media (again, not that they can’t be both at the same time), and Hudson felt very comfortable attacking the lone guy in the room who was supporting what a majority of Washington State just voted for – Initiative 976 – $30 car tabs. She didn’t care that the media was filming, and she probably believes making threats like this against all who disagree with her is an important part of her job. However, outside the political heart of darkness (Seattle), this is probably questionable behavior.
Sure, people have threatened to kill me before. There was the Thurston County Democrat PCO who called me from his home phone and left a death threat voice mail (see article here). He wasn’t the brightest guy in the world, as this convenient voicemail was pretty solid evidence used to convince a judge to issue a restraining order against him. Most people just send the no-return address letters with poor grammar and stupid stick drawings (see article here). Sometimes people confront me in Costco, a coffee shop, or in a different public place. I like the personal touch, but they always run away when I ask them to identify themselves. Leftists feel pretty comfortable attacking and threatening people who disagree with them.

I’m sure that Leftists believe this is a good way to intimidate others into silence or resigned acceptance of their rule. They are probably correct in presuming it works when used against most people. Unfortunately, bullies get a taste of successfully threatening people and they keep escalating their bullying activity until they either commit violence or get some type of push back. They sure are not regulating themselves, and in fact, this type of behavior is encouraged by their political allies. I don’t believe it is a wise course of action and non-political people don’t like it.
Unfortunately, even highly paid, semi-educated people like Alex Hudson feel that openly threatening people personally is good for her career path and acceptable in society. Presumably she will cheer when someone carries through on her threat to “Come for” Tim Eyman. Eyman has been assaulted before, and it seems likely to happen again. I suppose these angry Leftists believe that Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson’s effort to destroy Tim Eyman personally is either taking too long or not harmful enough. Maybe personal violence directed at all who disagree with them is their next step.
Regardless, this is not healthy or normal behavior to witness, and those who remain apathetic about local issues should be warned that people like Hudson may be threatening Eyman today, but other people will eventually be next, unless everyone conforms to Hudson’s Borg-like Hivemind world view. Now might be time to get involved and prevent the crazy bullies like Hudson from following through with her personal threats before people get hurt. Today it is Eyman. Tomorrow it will eventually be you and I who she plans to “come for.”
OUR CONSTITUTION BEGINS WITH THE PHRASE “WE THE PEOPLE.” IT WAS THE FOUNDER’S INTENT THAT GOVERNMENT BE CREATED BY THE PEOPLE, TO SERVE THE PEOPLE. IT WASN’T THEIR INTENTION FOR THE PEOPLE TO SERVE THE GOVERNMENT. IT WAS ALWAYS INTENDED THAT GOVERNMENT WHICH FAILED TO SERVE THE PEOPLE SHOULD BE “ALTERED OR ABOLISHED.” UNTIL WE RETURN TO THE FOUNDER’S INTENT, WE REMAIN WE THE GOVERNED…

Coming for him? She isn’t even panting yet and just to denigrate that stupid “C” some more, that good looking man would not want to even touch that stupid “B” with his member. While a politician cannot tell her where to shove it, we certainly can. That stupid “B” needs to slapped up along side her head until she realizes that opening her mouth would not be good for her health.
I don’t have enough expletives to express my anger with women who believe they can speak to a man like that without so much as being told to STFU because they believe can do so with impunity. It is time we men teach them otherwise. CAPICHE ?
Sounds like you are on her team.
She’ll recruit some Red Guards from one of the Marxist indoctrination centers posing as a university.
Don’t get too cocky Bolsheviks because no hiding place works both ways.
My reply to fatty, “Pack a lunch”.
Well, I would usually be a bit more polite than that.
If you’re coming for me, come with a gun……
She obviously is in no shape to follow through on the threat herself, but she is the Exec. Director of a big activist organization. I’m sure she pays people to do that for her
Then bring a lot of guns…..
Has anybody every investigated the finances of TCC? IIRC, they receive grants from government, AND they run campaigns. Do they keep those funds strictly segregated, or are they routinely laundering public money to try to escape violations of 42.17A.555?
They take the laundering approach, mostly. The PDC has treated them with kid gloves so far.
Bet I could make her wet herself in fear.
She probably doesn’t plan to assault or “Get” Eyman herself. She has people to do that for her…
