Jens Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Is it just me or are they getting more aggressive? I'm not talking about aggressive panhandling because that is nothing new. I'm seeing a lot of the homeless folks instigating stuff with cars at intersections and yelling at people out of the blue elsewhere. I've had two seperate incidents in the last two weeks. A police officer once told me that a lot of homeless folks migrate north to seattle during our summer months. I'm not complaining. I thin we need to help these folks. I saw a homeless man recently try to pick a fight with a 13ish year old boy minding his business walking home from school. The event was completely out of the blue.

archenemy Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Volunteer at a homeless shelter or at the "Mission" downtown; it'll be an educational experience you won't forget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foraker Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Define 'educational experience'. Pissing on an electrified fence can be classified as one, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpinfox Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Â If homeless folks are messing with an 8ft tall guy named with the nickname "Ivan", we are all in trouble. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 My gal works downtown and says you are on the $ Jens. Shoes I would never want to walk in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelle Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 When I worked downtown five years ago I stopped taking the bus because of run-ins with aggressive homeless people who rode the bus route I took. I figured the extra $8 a day to park and no hassles or fear of being confronted just for stepping onto a bus and looking for a seat was worth it.
