Not exactly a bastion of fun and frivolity, and this is in the '90s.
It has changed quite a lot. With folks getting priced out of Seattle, outlying areas tend to catch those people. Long story short, Renton is fine for the most part.
This story is fucking scary though. Open violence and hate at a very public place
...the woman told officers she first encountered the group while telling them to stop “harassing” people at a local transit center. That drew the group’s attention, and they began “charging towards her”, the police documents alleged.

It would have been better to wait and form a group of other victims of this harassment, stand side by side with one another, and then confront them. Don't assume people will have your back.
This is horrible. Just let her be. What is wrong with people?
does not surprise me that this happened in renton, this is the only place people have ever shouted insults at me from passing cars instead of compliments
I wonder what the rest of their families are like, the sick fucks.
Kudos to her for standing up for others. I hope this doesn't keep her from thinking twice in the future.
This is going to get buried in less than a day
FBI: sounds like some concerned citizens neutralising a terrorist threat to me.
That article has a lot of “alleged” for something there’s a video of..
I’d be fine if those kids got life in prison, or someone calling every place they work for the rest of their lives and getting them fired
