Wheelchair-Bound Navy Veteran Shot on Seattle Waterfront — The Self-Defense Case That’s Anything but Simple
What starts as a verbal confrontation turns into a fight over stolen valor, a ripped patch, a knife, an airsoft gun, and finally — a bullet to the chest.
On July 31, 2025, 68-year-old Harold James Powell was playing guitar near Pier 55 in Seattle when 32-year-old Gregory William Timm — infamous for ramming his van into a Trump voter registration booth in 2020 — confronted him.
Within seconds, Timm had ripped a patch from Powell’s wheelchair, Powell had drawn a knife and what looked like a gun, and Timm had backed away, retrieved a pistol, and fired.
Now, Washington’s Stand Your Ground laws, disparity-of-force rules, and the blurred lines of self-defense will decide if this was justified or criminal.
In this breakdown, I walk through the facts, the law, and why “being right” legally isn’t the same as walking away free.
Because when the smoke clears, the real battle begins — in court.
WATCH and decide: justified self-defense, or could it have gone another way?
