Caption This - Blue Angels Seattle
In what is perhaps the most epic case of trolling ever!

Not really a caption but what a bunch of fucking pussies. Same people hate fireworks on the 4th of July. And none of those people are welcome to my backyard bbq party.

Never missed a Seafair/Hydroplane races/Blue Angels Demo from 1973-2001. Sometimes on a boat in Lake Washington, other times a friend's home overlooking Stan Sayer's Hydro Pits where you could look down on an approaching Angels plane prior to a formation.
Left that WA shit hole in 2001. I do miss the annual airshow though.

Blue Angels sued for killing Seattle woman's cat. What Pensacola has to say about that

July 25, 2025

A Seattle, Washington, woman has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Navy’s elite high-flying aerobatics squadron, the Blue Angels, blaming them for killing “the greatest cat that ever lived” with the “sonic assaults” they inflict during their annual August show over Puget Sound.

Lauren Ann Lombardi filed the lawsuit in federal court alleging that her 14-year-old cat “Layla,” which she loved like a daughter, died as a result of the Blue Angels “auditory carpet bombing.”

The suit says the elderly cat’s health started deteriorating after the Blue Angels’ show in August 2024 and their most recent show was the final straw.

“Layla’s final days on Earth were marred by sadistic suffering – cowering in terror beneath furniture while her ailing heart struggled against the Blue Angels’s relentless noise pollution,” the lawsuit reads. “Layla died knowing only fear when she should have known only love...”

I’m sorry, I have to ask: is that picture real or is it photoshopped billboard or otherwise?

If it’s real, it’s fantastic!

Pity it wasn't the woman who died cowering in fear and the cat living.

What is she asking a court to do? Here it is:
quote:
She is asking the court to declare that the Blues blocking her from their official Instagram account as unconstitutional and to award her costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, as well as "any additional relief as may be just and proper."
Why did the Blue Angels block her? Well, read what she wrote:
quote:
She said for the past several years, even before Layla’s health began to deteriorate, she sent multiple critical messages to the Blue Angels social media account including: “Stop with your “F***** b****** you are terrorizing my cat and all the other animals and wildlife. F*** off,” and “Nobody gives a f*** about your stupid little planes.”
Can't sue about the cat - pets are merely property. She was blocked due to her behavior on Instagram. Stupid bitch. Have fun paying your lawyer.

I think it's photoshopped. There is nothing at all right behind the six aircraft. I understand the F414 engines don't produce a lot of smoke, but there is NOTHING, not even a heat signature.

And the guy with the bullhorn...that's rich.

Nope, not the same people. I hate fireworks on the 4th of July because buster ass fucking amateurs catch someone’s home, vehicle, or both, on fire every year. If they had some inkling of brain activity and just did it on the 4th, with some caution, no issue. But they do it several nights before, and several nights after. It’s like a week long event. And they do it well into the morning. 3am, 4am. I guess until the boos run out.

Blue Angels can fly over here every day of the week AFAIC. Fuck the fire crackers though.

My in-laws live in Pcola and the Blues fly over all the time. I love watching them, and they're welcome over my house anytime. Same goes for any other US military aircraft. Heck, if they want, feel free to do some low passes at full burner...just let me know first so I can get my camera!

If you don't like the sound of freedom, you're a communist.

I saw that photo a few times today. Is it fake or just made by lazy people? David Hogg? The angry Arab woman? Stock images we've seen before?

SOME Seattle residents have been whining about them for years. No one actually takes them serious.

The weblink is loaded with comments addressing the stupidity of this attempt. The Blues have a lot more support that the unwashed moron pushing his agenda.

Did the cat get sucked into one of the engines on a low pass????
