Seattleites challenge Fox News' spin on the city's crime

What they're saying: One Seattleite openly mocked the Fox interviewer, Johnny Belisario, when he said he'd seen "a lot of people shooting up" in the city that day.

• "Oh, did you? And they were bothering you?" asked the person in a bright green jacket, who appeared to have been stopped and interviewed while walking through Seattle Center.
• When Belisario replied he "was in a car," the mockery escalated: "Oh, no, you were in a car, they were hurting you so bad!"

Plus: Another person interviewed by Fox said they'd never seen any crime in Seattle, but they'd "seen fun and laughter."

• Another remarked, "Crime is a social issue that could be solved by giving people their basic needs."

The bottom line: Only three people were featured in the now-viral Fox segment, which doesn't necessarily show the range of views in the city about recent upticks in crime.

• Still, Fox pundits were quick to jump on the clips to claim that Seattleites are treating crime as "a big joke" and that residents are "in denial."
