MyNorthwest: The homeless community in Lake City is plaguing the business community by using the planters as beds and toilets. But rather than sweep the homeless, the city is removing the planters — the latest manifestation of a policy that punishes tax-payers, while giving a pass to people who refuse help.
KIRO 7 reports a group of homeless people are terrorizing shoppers at nearby businesses, like the Grocery Outlet in Lake City.
“I’ve had numbers of customers come up to me and say, ‘Love to shop at your store but I won’t come back because I don’t feel safe, I can’t bring my children,’” Mike Sandberg, the owner, told KIRO. “The residents here were pooping on the sidewalk, behind Papa Murphy’s and the stairwells back there and creating a health hazard.”
“They can be agitated and aggressive,” shopper Majid Namini explained. Another, Paul Heistand, told KIRO “If you don’t give them what they want sometimes they get kind of angry and sometimes they will just scream at you.” more here

Our local civic “leaders” had a similar problem with the homeless. Their solution was to place porta pottys in a downtown park where The lowlifes congregate and deficate. I watched a bum drop his pants and pinch a loaf within 200 feet of the outhouse.
Seattle is the quintessential, mentally ill city. However, the good news lately is that people are leaving because they can’t afford it.
The socialist new man turns out to be bums with an attitude.
Bring back mental institutions and start committing these folks. If you are so unstable you’re dropping deuces in the street, you belong in an institution.
@Tony R: Can you top this? !!!! Woman craps in restaurant and throws it at cashier. Saw another video of a muzzie crapping in a hospital then walks off. No more decency left in society.

@Goldenfox: And yet when we compare these people to animals, we are called racists.
Oh gawd, please leave those people alone. If Lake City voters wake up, turn away from democrat party, and clamp down on drug addicted bums, the bums will come to Portland. We already have too many problems with worthless bums, most of whom were elected.
Two days ago driving to downtown Seattle on I-5, right next to the freeway, a woman had her pants and underwear pulled down doing her “business”. Seattle has been ruled by democrats for far too long. And quite sadly it will probably remain that way.
At least leave the planters, and fill them with cat litter….
I’m thinking “Welcome to Seattle-doing our best to become San Francisco.”
might be appropriate…
Will the last person to leave Seattle please torch it?
@Kevin R. – Why wait?
Al Gore promised us the oceans would cleanses us of these problems.
It’s just taking a little longer than it should.
Trump’s fault.
if they removed all the plants in Seattle it would become a giant, vacant lot
