A youth in one “peace circle” program (in which a "talking feather" was passed around) was presented as a “shining example.” But two weeks after completing the program, he lured a boy into the woods, robbed him, and slashed open his abdomen, chest, and head with a knife.

"[Rioters] have begun to descend on residential neighborhoods, demanding that white homeowners 'open [their] wallets' and 'give black people back their homes.' As they move down the street, they chant in a call and response: 'Who do we protect? Black criminals!'"

Do these kind of ideas have much support among the citizens of Seattle? The evidence suggests that at least some of them may. For example, a recent poll found that 53% of Seattle voters support *permanently* cutting the Seattle police budget by half .

Sadly, the public seems to support the activist agenda as a matter of principle. I think it will change only when they *experience* the activist agenda in the form of consequences.
