The Seattle Police Department recently came out with some advice on what to do if a burglar breaks in while you鈥檙e at home. The advice鈥� is to get out, ASAP:

鈥淲e don鈥檛 know if they’re under the influence 鈥� we don鈥檛 know a lot of things,鈥� Jennifer Danner said.

Jennifer Danner is a crime prevention coordinator, and she says you should have an escape plan for a burglary just as you would for a fire:

鈥淲hat if someone tries to come in the front door? What is my safety plan? My safety plan is getting the heck out the back door. But what if the back door is not the option. Now I might need to consider a window,鈥� Danner continued.

So, her advice is to retreat. But isn鈥檛 her advice just adding to the wussification of Seattle:

鈥淪eattle was built by lumberjacks, fisherman, and people who believed in fighting for what was theirs. And now it’s run and hide as quick as you can.鈥�

That鈥檚 our own Dori Monson 鈥� who pointed out that Washington is a stand your ground state. And yes 鈥� the founders of Seattle were tougher. Although to be fair, those lumberjacks and fishermen kind of took over land that was already being used by other people, so there might be a little pushback about who had the right to self-defense in those days.

But when it comes to our current crime wave, you could certainly argue that the advice to run and hide is like surrendering to the bad guys.

So, here鈥檚 what I think.

I think your number one duty 鈥� if you walk in on a burglar 鈥� is to keep yourself alive 鈥� period. Because your stuff can be replaced. You cannot.

Nobody鈥檚 last words should be 鈥渨ell at least I defended the Rolex.鈥�

But at the same time 鈥� I would like the burglars to think that everybody is a Dori Monson listener:

鈥淲ashington is a stand your ground state.鈥�

Therefore 鈥� you have your escape plan ready, like the cops recommend 鈥� but you also put NRA stickers in your windows and a big old American flag on the garage.

And whenever you鈥檙e outside doing yard work where passers-by can see you 鈥�have your radio on 成人X站 between 12-3 turned up just a little louder than necessary鈥�
