Seattle is famous for insanely wanky public arguments vigorous policy discussions, so it’s hardly surprising that the Seattle lj community is also a fountain of wank place where online debate sometimes gets a bit heated.

Yesterday, there was a school shooting in Tacoma and a short post about it has given rise to a rainbow of wank.

First, there was a brief outbreak of grammar wank, because using the indefininite plural for a singular subject is serious business but that exploration of the limits of language pales when the gomezticator declares Tacoma a ghetto. [info]melvillian, already wanking away and calling on expertise in the first thread, is a Tacoma native, and the wank takes wings.

It has spread to gomezticator’s LJ where no more sense is made. ETA I don't actually know anything about Tacoma, but I agree with you exchange, possibly the funniest thing in the whole mess.

And because I am a completist at heart, ETA 2:

Gomezticator can't understand why other people won't stop talking about Tacoma.

What I want to know is why the crazy wangdoodles all feel the need to express their craziness in eye-searing yellow, white, and cyan on black. First LKH, now this guy.

A question I often ask. It does, however, express his chronic rage-on with everything and anything quite well.

There should be more. I'm sure somewhere around here I have WoD postcards I could scan in to make more.

Is [info]jenyum the one who was upset about Torchwood being Very White even though Wales itself is apparently 150% white, or am I thinking of someone else?

No, that's the glorious [info]jennyo; I haven't seen [info]jenyum wanking before, although with [info]gomezticator and [info]cambler (strangely absent from this wank) around, the rest of [info]seattle fades into the background.

I'm amused at gomezticator's insistence that everybody who disagrees with him has never really lived in Tacoma, complete with demanding descriptions of certain streets. Also his definition of a ghetto is rather... generous.

In other news, I now live in a ghetto because a football player was killed in a drive-by not far from here. Ghetto crimes mean ghetto livin'!

I made a visual aid.

...How sad is it that that somewhat accurately maps out the geography of my hometown too?

Although add a second Murder That One Summer to down the street from me. And that was in the neighbourhood we moved into after we got out of the ghetto.

♫ As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Tacoma mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
cause if theres one thing that she don't need
Its another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto ♫

It is one reason that I'm afraid the people who are doing the redevelopment of the Ruston sight may end up losing their asses over the project.

[info]gomezticator's contempt for Pt. Defiance Park makes me want to take him to Camp 9 and strap him to the rails, or possibly feed him to the Polar Bears. Bury him in the Rose Garden? Push him off the bluff at Narrows overlook? So very many choices...

Y'know, in my junior and senior year of high school, one of our most awesome teachers EVAR was from Tacoma and he and one of my classmates had a friendly two-year war over whether or not Tacoma was the City of Destiny or the City of Smells.

And that was the last time I've heard anyone complain about Tacoma in the present tense. A seventeen year-old, and he was joking.

Just saying.

Meh. I have to admit that with the exception of a few neighborhoods, it's pretty damn ghetto. Doesn't mean I don't like the place, mind you - it keep all the annoying people out and I'm free to live in peace without ovelry sociable neighbors.

My query with this case is why Yahoo News felt the need to tell us that the victim was male *in the headline*. I don't have it on me, but the headline was something like "School Shooting in Washington, Male Student Killed". Would they have reported it differently if the victim was female?
