With election results approaching, KIRO host Spike O’Neill believes incumbent Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell’s response to a question regarding public safety was his undoing.“The Jake and Spike Show” on KIRO Newsradio.
“In the debate, that question, a man’s been locked up eight times … it’s such a foot in mouth answer.”“If somebody has offended six, seven, eight times, even if it’s a minor offense, but they continue to fail to turn their life around—at what point do you balance public safety, to giving this person some accountability?” the moderator asked. “I was one that sponsored the Ban the Box legislation because the criminal system has had a disparate impact on black and brown communities, let me lead with that,” Harrell answered. “So when this person is committing six or seven crimes, I don’t know his or her story. Maybe they were abused as a child. Maybe they’re hungry. So my remedy is to find their life story to see how we could help first. I have no desire to put them in jail, but I need to protect you, and that’s the calibration.”“He kind of says a lot of stuff, which means kind of nothing,” Jake said. “He says he wouldn’t arrest the guy. He’s more interested to find out if the guy’s hungry, or maybe was abused as a child. All these things.” Spike added that while the questions are reasonable, a person who has offended nearly 10 times should be locked up. “They’re all valid questions to ask and looking upstream for criminality, to find out the root cause, those are all great and noble and practical ways to address crime in the city. But when somebody’s been arrested seven, eight times, there’s one answer to this question — I want him in jail,” he said.KIRO host Spike O'Neill believes incumbent Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell's response to a question regarding public safety was his undoing.Seattle's mayoral race is in full swing as thousands of residents across the city will cast their vote for either the Bruce Harrell or Katie Wilson.Today is election day in Seattle, King County, and across Washington state.
