Edmonds City Council member stumped by vandal's message
»Play Video
EDMONDS, Wash. -- Edmonds is one of those cities that just seems like fun. A place to shop, stroll and relax.
Council member Diane Buckshnis probably thought that, too.
Then she was appointed and elected to the Edmonds City Council and tackled tough economic issues with the same passion she cuts the flowers in her garden.
Then she found poop where no dog poop should be.
"You know, I've been in this neighborhood for 11 years, and I've never had dog poop in my roundabout or where my gate opens. And I'm ready to step out," said Buckshnis.
Buckshnis didn't say anything, didn't report the poop prank or whatever it was. Then she found something else on the window of her on Tuesday.
"I was walking around the Jeep and someone had written in letters ... '(expletive)' in green," she said.
Buckshnis says whoever did this knows where she lives. She'd rather the visitor ring her doorbell so they can talk.
"I'm not scary. I don't bite people. I just thought it was a very weak way to express their opinion," she said.
So how about that word on the window?
"I may be a little assertive and forthright, but I don't think I'm an itch," said Buckshnis.
Buckshnis says she not frightened. For two years, she worked on the banking system in Lithuania. Then she had a gun pointed at her.
She smiled and said she just hopes whoever it is will stop by and talk.

Sounds like a very inmature little brat on the loose to be honest. That shows some real maturity!
Seems it maybe a dog problem or a fool on the hill in Edmonds problem..
Maybe this had nothing to do with Politics. Â Maybe she cut someone off and they followed her home... Â There are some strange people out there.
Weak people do this. They also censor the news where we have to figure out what's being said. It's not my job to decipher the word "Bitch". Can the news seriously just report the news? This will probably be deleted because I actually reported to you what was written by all the lame hints throughout the article.
Wow... keep the debate classy why don't ya..

It's sad that people would rather resort to name calling instead of engaging people in an intellectual conversation about different ideas or frustrations they have. Â
@JoeKing
Thatâs because our world lacks much intellect at all anymore. People may have a valid complaint, but they just throughout easy word s rather than debate.Â
They won't stop and talk... people who do this have no balls and cannot confront others very well.... hence, their passive-aggressive BS.... They are the ones who are truly B*ches... spineless ones no less.
 @Datsuyama Indeed. Those who resort to such childish actions are not ones who will stand up to make their issues and openly listen to the opposites point of view, if any. Very sad
