Seattle’s new socialist mayor, Katie Wilson, has been going viral quite a bit in the last few weeks and for all the wrong reasons.
I know violent crime videos proliferate on social media these days, but this one is especially hard to watch.
In a clip captured by a closed-circuit television camera in Seattle, two young men can be seen senselessly beating a 77-year-old man and leaving him face down in the street.
Fortunately, the man survived his injuries, but he had to be hospitalized for a week.
One of the alleged attackers, 29-year-old Ahmed Abdullahi Osman, was quickly detained by police after he tried to evade them. In the police body camera video of his arrest, Osman said that he worked for the “state,” for “Katie, the mayor.”
According to David Rose at FOX 13, Osman was released “on $5,000 bail for a separate fire alarm tampering charge two days after the attack,” as Seattle police conducted their investigation. They are now unable to find him after they put out a warrant for his arrest.
The whole thing is infuriating to say the least, as Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts indicated on X.
