Couldn't at least wait till after they blossom so they could give people one last show before they killed them? Did they at least save some cuttings to clone them?

Trees don't pay taxes. Tourist do.

Suspect accused of harassing family at Pike Place Market makes 1st court appearanceCurtis Rosenblat made his first court appearance on Monday afternoon after he was arrested for harassing a Family at Pike Place market. I think the public would like more information about the person who did this .. This is why people carry downtown. This guy touches the wrong child he’s going to get shot. I'm curious...if the aggressor had been a POC, would the accuser been labeled a racist? Would KOMO have ignored it as a non-issue? Would this have ever made it to the DA's desk? lol
