Jens Posted June 12, 2006 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. Quote

archenemy Posted June 12, 2006 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
foraker Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 Define 'educational experience'. Pissing on an electrified fence can be classified as one, I think. Quote

Â had my own fun bum experience at broghton's y-day - it's important not to slow down there when your window's cranked down... Quote
olyclimber Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 hey "myth-busters" took that electric fence one on and it got busted! Â hmmm....i have first hand knowledge that this indeed is not something you want to do, and in fact urine can conduct. Quote
ivan Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 i think their conclusion was that it wouldn't be lethal... Quote
Alpinfox Posted June 12, 2006 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
wayne Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 My gal works downtown and says you are on the $ Jens. Shoes I would never want to walk in Quote
chelle Posted June 13, 2006 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. Quote
