LOL a woman just rang my doorbell canvassing for my vote for Seth Fleetwood, Bellingham, Washington's incumbent mayor.
I handed her the leaflet back and said I wouldn't be voting for him because of how he mismanaged clearing an encampment of the unhoused on City Hall property, among other issues.
She asked, which side are you on?
I said, "I'm on the side that disagreed with giving the encampment a deadline of Friday, then coming in with a surprise attack on Thursday AM - complete with militaristic cop formations, rooftop snipers aimed at the encampment, and heavy equipment to haul away people's belongings."
She left real quick.
The attached photos are taken from news reports at the time (Jan 28, 2021).
If you didn't know the context, would you assume they depicted a city's response to assist unhoused people in moving their belongings to a new location?
Seth Fleetwood is a POS.
