Downtown Seattle is Full of Trash and People Openly Using Drugs

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

This was downtown Seattle yesterday evening. I can't believe what a hole that city has turned into. I used to go up there for work several times a year and it was never like this.

I was driving in a part of H-Town you never saw anyone working the streets until recently, so times have changed and it will not get any better…

Kinda makes you wish covid was real.

Permissive liberal attitudes and a total disdain for law enforcement are why cities like Seattle are slowly turning into uninhabitable shitholes for decent people.

This is what the locals voted for. Enjoy.

Not until we recognize mental illness and addiction as diseases that must be treated.

That would have been a different sort of drug ...

Don't know about Boston, but probably is just a matter of time, the Rats have the Midas touch in reverse, they touch and it turns to do-do.

We used to treat addiction and mental illness as a disease ... we can't do that inpatient any longer ... hence the addicts and people with mental illnesses are on the streets.

 

[fncceo]

I see you agree with me. Does that mean you support involuntary incarceration of addicts and people with mental illness?

Because that is the only solution to the homeless problem.

Back when cocaine was legal - good times!

For that alone? No.

I bet most would accept treatment, if offered.

 

[AMart]

What a complete chithole mess. There is no leadership in that city.

You would be wrong. A big part of what I do is working with addicts and the homeless. They have a plethora of programs, both public and private, and referral services available to them but most refuse to opt in.

In those cases where a person represents a serious and imminent danger to themselves or others, the can be taken to hospital involuntarily for assessment. More often than not, that person is released by medical staff before we have completed the paperwork and got back to our car.

There is a large percentage of the homeless population, most in fact, who simply refuse to take advantage of the system voluntarily and precious little can be done to force them.

As bad as involuntary incarceration is said to have been ... at least those in treatment were housed, fed, and treated.

Boston doesn’t put up with leftist assholes. But for some reason the still get the votes. Pathetic.
