People are talking at KVI and around radio town. The consensus: they ain’t buying it.
And remarkably, she was a victim of a striking similar attack in Los Angeles in 2009.
Suits, a devout gundementalist, has long been fierce and outspoken about Latino illegals. Having lived in LA for a year or so, he considers himself an expert on the Spanish-speaking “dirtbag” community. He regularly leads the KVI choir of Latino-bashing xenophobes.
Yet, now, EVEN THOUGH HIS WIFE JUST GOT ALLEGEDLY STABBED BY TWO OF THEM, he’s uncharacteristically subdued.He’s limited comments about the incident to the sparsely listened-to 5a hour of his show. A KVI colleague says: “It seems very much like he's trying to downplay this thing hoping it will fade off. He turned down TV interviews with every local news station, which goes against the very fiber of being a news talk host, even during sad circumstances.”
(Bryan did say parenthetically: “I would
like to find them myself so I could kill them.” But it was with more irony than passion).
Rachel Suits told cops she was stabbed in the “lower back” by a couple of Latino robbers who wrestled off her jewelry including 3 earrings and her wedding ring.
They bashed her in the head, she says, a couple of times with a piece of concrete, punched her a few times in the side and slashed her with a knife.
With a flashlight in her eyes, she didn’t get much of an ID- the drawing above is all there is, except that the perps were diminutive in stature, Spanish-accented men, possibly teenagers.Random attacks are rare, ask any cop… but astoundingly Rachel Suits was the victim of another, remarkably similar attack a little over a year ago in Los Angeles.
Oddly, Bryan and Rachel’s story about that incident have varied. As recently as 8 months ago, Seattle co-workers say Rachel said she was car-jacked by Latinos who slashed her with a knife.
Bryan now says the LA attack was the work of “Armenian gang-bangers,” who used box cutters to cut her.
This has stirred-up, of course, all manner of vengeful rhetoric in the BlatherWatch and Seattle Times comments threads and on the air. The dittoheads point to the crime wave created by illegal immigrants, despite the "wave' only crashes anecdotally and on the shores of right-wing media.We pray godspeed for Ms Rachel's recovery, and Lake Forest Park police's progress in making some arrests. But with more questions turning up than being answered, this doesn't seem to want to go away. There's more investigating going on, both here and in Los Angeles. Stay tuned.

Re: ignotance and ignorance, 'r' and 't' are side by side on a typical keyboard. It's more probable that a slip of the finger would account for this error than a belief the world is spelled as such. As the appointed arbitrator of this thread, I decide in favor of T008.

'world', when you meant 'word'
Two birds of a feather. Stick it!

Maybe I meant world. That's not your decision to make.

just in on Peewee's Playhouse of Outrage, otherwise known as the Dori Monson Show- Dori is ranting about the mayor authorizing Key Arena to be used for the funeral of the 5 Fremont fire victims, all Ehtiopian immigrants. One of Dori's Dipshits, a female bigot, called in with phony numbers on what it will cost and said that it would be (horrors) a "Muslim ceremony" and that" all the Ethiopians are laughing at us". A male member of Dori's Dipshits basically mimiced Dori's "they made poor life choices" screeds, although not in so many words, saying he shouldn't have to pay for a funeral for people who "couldn't read safety instructions" and died because of it (the fire was started by a light bulb in a closet up against a mattress). Dori vows to crusade for the Mayor's impeachment if the 300,000 cost figure given by the Dori's Dipshits woman turns out to be true. Stay tuned.

Topic is:
“It stinks.” KVI staffers ponder unanswered questions in suits stabbing
relevancy, please?

i'd much rather have a respectful business-owning or just hardworking "Muslim" Ethiopian legal immigrant in our city than a worthless piece of insolent, violent teenage trash like cop-shover Angel Rosenthal.

The Ethiopians are not "laughing at us" for providing Key Arena for their funeral, but they are laughing at Angel Rosenthal.
