Seattle City Council member Kshwana Sawant, a socialist activist, has plenty of detractors. The late Dr. Steve Schwartz, founder of this blog, was one of them. I’m not a fan either. But she’s won four elections, and after a recall attempt failed last year, her enemies are reduced to flinging poo.
Literally. A local TV station says “people [are] throwing human excrement in her yard” (see story here), even though she doesn’t have have much of a yard (see photo here). Sawant believes the poo-flinging is politically motivated, and complains police aren’t doing enough to catch the perp.
It seems to me it shouldn’t be very hard to track down the sender of an email to her office that referenced a “throne of excrement,” although that probably isn’t sufficient evidence to link the sender to the stink in a criminal court.
Maybe it’s time for her to install security cameras, if she doesn’t already have them.
