The name Seattle says a lot these days.
Its the most unamerican city that I have ever been to.
This thread is not about what we feel about Seattle, Editor-Surveyor.
This is a about killing a police officer and the attempt to kill more police officers.
Its a place that breeds such things.

SNIPPET: “SEATTLE - The man accused of killing a Seattle police officer on Monday pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder, attempted murder and arson charges.
Security was tight as deputies prepared for the high profile arraignment of Christopher Monfort.”
SNIPPET: “Monfort’s next court date is set for Jan. 11.
King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg has 30 days to decide whether or not to seek the death penalty in the case. That could be extended if defense attorneys ask for more time to prepare their case.”

“Monfort, accused cop killer, pleads not guilty”
KOMO-TV
SNIPPET: “Investigators said DNA evidence found at the scene of Brenton’s slaying and the earlier arson at a police maintenance yard were a match to Monfort. His DNA was found on identical American flag bandannas dropped at both scenes as “calling cards,” according to court documents.
In addition, a rifle found in Monfort’s apartment is an identical ballistic match to the weapon used to kill Brenton and wound his partner, Britt Sweeney, according to investigators.
Prosecutors accused Monfort of placing bombs at the scene of the Oct. 22 arson that were designed to explode and kill police, firefighters and medics who arrived to battle a blaze that destroyed a large command vehicle. The bombs were placed under two parked patrol cars.”
SNIPPET: “Inside Monfort’s apartment, police said they found three rifles, including the one used to kill Brenton, and a pistol-grip shotgun, as well as several bombs consisting of propane bottles wrapped with duct tape, nails protruding. Some had very short fuses, indicating Monfort could light them and throw them at police, and another had a fuse sitting on the heating element of his kitchen stove, authorities said.”
