The Stranger: [Seattle] Unvaccinated, Unmasked, and Unemployed: Firefighters Drop Their Boots After a One-Off Community Breakfast to Show They “Still Care”

The firefighters, cops, and other supporters left after a prayer, a few tears, and another group picture. The shoes were snagged almost immediately. Within ten minutes of their departure a group of young people collected the shoes for mutual aid projects.

In a text message, a representative from the group said, "We’re glad we were able to save these shoes for people who actually need them instead of being wasted for some dramatic, egotistical display that would have been trashed overnight anyways."

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
