11 Injured in Shooting at Washington St. Car Show

11 Injured in Shooting at Seattle Car Show

A mass shooting erupted at a low-rider car show in Kent, Washington, Saturday afternoon. Eight were shot, eleven injured, and police cannot figure out what ignited the violent argument south of Seattle.

Local news on the scene gathered from one witness that the fight started when one man bad-mouthed another car owner’s paint job.

“‘I was out there chilling with a friend and somebody started dissing somebody else’s paint job. And then some people came up together and then started started gangbangin’,’ said the witness, who identified himself as ‘Harrison.’

Police would not confirm what started the argument. But Kasner did say the shootings may have been gang-related, and that gang detectives have been called in for the investigation”‘

11 Injured in Shooting at Seattle Car Show

Of the 200 to 300 people at the car show, the eight victims brought to the hospital ranged in age from 14 to 32. One victim was shot multiple times. KOMO reports that eight victims injured that were brought to one local hospital are miraculously now all listed in satisfactory condition.

      LOL Barry. 90% are NOT illegal Mexicans, u dumb azz. Ur prejudice remarks make u look stupid! Ever been to a lowrider car show? Many are going to be of Mexican backgrounds but are not ‘illegal’ just because their skin/way they look. I’m brown skinned..i guess i‘m illegal even though i’m 100% American and a veteran as was my father. Don’t post ur childish words thinking they are cute and people will agree. ‘HARRISON’…are u kidding, that really sounds like a ‘illegal’ term used by Mexicans! Ohh, and I didn’t hear any mexican accents on the media coverage.

    Just south of this car show, in Puyallup WA, we had a car show with thousands of cars. The attendance was enormous, but we didn’t have any shootings. I guess maybe it was because the Puyallup show contestants and participants are just a bunch of white guys in love with their cars.

    Gang bangers? Can’t wait to hear how many of them are illegally in the country, but Washington being several degrees left of center and Seattle being a sanctuarty city it will never get the coverage it deserves. Kent, Renton and Auburn used to be primarily agricultural lands transformed into sattelite cities to Seattle. The draw for migrant workers to the Yakima Valley at harvest times introduced them to the good life America had to offer. For years those who desired to live there went about it the right way, but then the hoards of those who refuse to wait in lines or follow laws just came. Only when Washington gets rid of their “bleeding hearts” and adopt the policies instituted by Arizona will they get a handle on the situation. Other states are following Arizonas lead. Those who believe that SB1070 has been stopped haven’t followed the reality. Only one small part of that law is on hold, the rest has been enacted and is being enforced. The Supreme Court also ruled in favor of Arizona regarding their right to revoke business licenses of those who knowingly and repeatedly hire illegals. We are witnessing a phenominum called “self deportation” We have had an 18% drop in Hispanic populace, yet the stable long term residents of Hispanic background remains unaffected. There are parts of South Phoenix that resemble Ghost towns from the departure of the illegals. Our statistics regarding car thefts, uninsured motorists and hit and run have dropped like a rock.

      Good for You – and Arizona!!!!!

      Just as New Orleans and the surrounding area was cleaned-up from all the crimes and drug traffickers by illegal aliens – as storm chasers after Hurrican Katrina –

      along comes another one of Obama’s MAn-MADE DISASTERS = Oil Rig explosion and Massive Oil Spew – and the onslaught of illegal aliens being bused in by the UNIONS –
      screwing up the plans of law enforcement authorities – to check all IDs of people entering into the area – so that US citizens would not be subjected to what occurred after Hurricane Katrina – w the CRIME WAVE of the HIGH INFLUX of ILLEGAL ALIENS.

      Illegal Aliens remained in Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina drew Illegal Aliens as Storm Chasers – until their thieving and drug trafficking was affected – and they left the area.

      Thanks to Obama – now Louisiana – has MORE Illegal Aliens remaining – after the Massive Oil Spew – who are fugitives running from justice in their country – rapists, murders, child molestors, pedophiles – as evidenced by the daily arrests being made. It is disgusting.

      I read an article the other day about a county in I think it was TN who also passed a law back in 2007 that demands deportation on arrest for illegals. They are now re
      nting out jail space due to the lack of inmates. Their crime rates have dropped considerably and they now have excess jail capacity which they are leasing to other law enforcement agencies. It was pretty amazing the stats.

And know the area, I can pretty much guarantee that if an I.C.E. van pulled up before the shooting there would have been just as many people running off as did when the shots rang out. (On second thought this is Washington state the illegals wouldn’t be afraid of anything.)

    The funny thing about the left is that they are not so much in controlling guns, but more in “who” has the guns…the Government and the Administration. Give all the Union left people the guns they want; give all the Black Panthers all the guns they want; give all the Community Organizers the guns they want; give the right leaning people a “number”. The left doesn’t want control so much as the power. The power of making the right powerless; defenseless. Germany before WWII was MORE left (socialist) than conservative. Does History repeat?
