A car dealership in Seattle, Washington found themselves at the center of controversy last week after they decided to take a novel approach to prevent crime-ridden homeless encampments from being erected near their lot. The move sparked outrage among homeless rights activists which resulted in protests and threats towards the dealership.
Seattle’s homelessness crisis has brought criminal activity with it. The Bill Pierre car dealership in Lake City decided to take action in what they say was an attempt to keep the community safe.
Employees at Bill Pierre’s car dealership strategically moved vehicles out of the lot and parked them along 30th Ave. in an attempt to prevent homeless residents from camping in front of their lot. Although it’s a public street, Bill Pierre has property rights on the opposite side of the street where vagrants typically pitch tents and camp. BEFORE CARS WERE MOVED: This is earlier today. Bill Pierre dealership vehicles parked bumper to bumper on 30th Ave NE in Seattle’s Lake City neighborhood. Advocates accused the business of trashing tents, bribing homeless campers, and using cars to block them from coming back. pic.twitter.com/b0rSUtiz2k — Jonathan Choe Journalist KOMO News (@choeshow) September 24, 2021 After pressure from homeless activists, including alleged threats, employees decided to move the cars that they parked bumper-to-bumper back onto the lot. According to an attorney that represents Bill Pierre, the dealership decided to move the cars after activists threatened to vandalize the vehicles, KOMO News reports. REASON FOR MOVING CARS: Just got off the phone with an attorney representing the Bill Pierre dealership. She says the dealership received bomb threats and death threats.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
