Things are a madhouse right now, in Wenatchee. I didn't even want to know what it would be like but I was out, in a car, with someone for just 20 minutes tops and got a feel for what people are dealing with, and the energy. It is so mixed up right now and I just wanted to go back.
There are a lot of people in town right now, who are not from here. I also saw a lot more undercover police and some drug taskforce people. Don't ask me how I can spot an undercover guy or drug taskforce, not all of them of course, but some of them I can get a feel for.
There are people in town who are not even from Washington state, but they must be driving rentals or be with friends. Most of the plates, almost all of them, are Washington, but a lot of people I saw were not from Wenatchee, and some from Seattle but others from out of state. I believe a few are even from out of country. Not many but a couple.
The mood is really, really, mixed up. I saw fear, sadness, outrage, and total mockery and sadism again and also some peace or resolution and signs of strength and calm.
What was disappointing, I think most disappointing, is seeing the laughter and mockery and sadism. That bothers me the most. There were good looking young men in jeeps who have better things to do than mock, and some landscaping guys who seemed to think everything is a big joke and then the women...wow. Some of these women have it IN for me and just barely concealed hatred. Well, I don't know that they "have it in for me", that's too extreme, but the hatred thing was there. I saw eyes that had been crying for days but weren't crying at the moment we passed. I saw people with shocked looks on their faces, just looking blank or curious but trying to be discreet or unseen in their own way. I saw fear and that also bothered me--the fear, because those people are the ones who know how serious things have been and who know maybe the good people will be punished and others be let off so easily. As for who is good or bad I don't know. I saw that the same old game is still being played in the town, even in the middle of all of this, but some people are mixing it up more now. I saw one man in a truck who was furious and so outraged, he could barely drive straight, white man in a green truck. Half the hispanics looked sad and like they'd been crying, and others acted jubilant. Some of the people from out of town had a TON of money. Very rich people came into town.
I felt at a loss for words. I couldn't focus on what the woman was asking me because I was distracted by all the people and getting a finger on things. On one hand, I didn't want to be out in public at all, and on the other hand, I now feel I could get a better gauge on things if I were in public.
There was definitely more awareness in the town, and some people still seeming to be in shock, but in other ways, it was the same old thing, just more traffic and diverse traffic. What surprises me the most, is that anyone would even be surprised. Things like this, just as bad and worse, happen all the time, all the time here, and it's been ongoing against my son. My son has been targeted and he's really suffered heavily.
In some ways, I do think it's good something has "surfaced" in the sense that it can't be ignored, but I've been talking about all of the harm for a long time and it's harder to document, but it's torture. It's not killing people instantly, it's torturing people slowly with the less than lethal weapons and equipment, and doing hazing kinds of activities and forcing people to be punished and little kids to suffer.
For anyone to say this was not gang connected and that most of the people in the area, and some who came into the area recently, are not all connected, is B.S. But what is bad, is the public corruption because honest people who are not perfect, but try, have no where to turn for help.
The best thing would be to have totally new people, who are fair and impartial to all, who care about law and justice and are also compassionate, if they could take control and give equal distribution of justice. But in a way, it seems like something is so lopsided, that to take one person out, who might be helping more than any team of others, even law enforecement ever has, it's almost not good. It's sort of like when Mexico took out one of their top 3. So they took out one guy, but then it was lopsided because the other two probably just took over and what happened to the others who had no protection from the other people? It's like, unless something is deconstructed in a balanced and safe way, more people get hurt. I don't know how to accurately describe what I'm trying to say.
I sensed a lot of sad energy today and sometimes yesterday. It felt very near to me. I don't think it was all about this girl and the situation, but I don't know what.
I was going to go in to get anxiety medication today but I have to do it tomorrow.
