Buried slightly below the surface of an investigation into what appears to have been a murder-suicide involving one of Seattle’s most well-known repeat offenders is quite possibly the key to the city’s worsening reputation as place you wouldn’t want to live, much less visit.
It took the death of self-confessed meth addict Travis Berge—a man whose criminal record included 47 arrests and more than 35 convictions, according to KOMO News—and his “unofficial wife,” Lisa, at the city’s Cal Anderson Park. Berge’s behavior, captured partly in last year’s grim documentary “Seattle is Dying,” and his criminal history should have raised red flags all over the landscape that his story would end badly. |

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
