so okay this is real talk for a second

cw: cops, potential violence

so last week one of my roommates pulled a knife on another one of my roommates. nobody was seriously hurt. it was scary, and it should tell you something when a house full of anarchists decides to call the cops

guy was arrested, ended up released, charges were dropped. guy came back with an escort to get his stuff, did so without incident. he was not evicted, but as our lease is month to month, he was given notice that he would not be renewed. so far so good, okay.

today, we get this:

honestly if our roomies wanted him dead? they probably could have killed him in self defense when he literally pulled a knife on someone but O K A Y. All they did at the time was wrestle away the knife, kick him out of the front door and call the cops.

and now he threatens us.

so we called the cops today, a cop just came out and talked to us and said there was nothing he could do because the original charges had indeed been dropped - nobody in the hose was notified despite the fact that there ought to have been a protective order in place

we have the ability to defend our home if needed. some of my roommates carry (legally) and we don't want to be scared off by some punk extortionist

but if i am hurt or killed tonight please know it's because the @SeattlePD did nothing when they had every chance to help us

also I appreciate everyone's offer for help but I really don't feel right being scared out of my home by this piece of shit

also I don't want to abandon my housemates, some of whom don't have the option to go elsewhere.

(as a very dear friend just put it in DMs, this may be the most hufflepuff shit I've ever said)
