A Homeless Woman Slashes a Tire — Should She Be Held Accountable?
View at XChaos Following Assault
In King County, the lack of accountability is part of the culture and fueling problems on the streets.
After I got pepper sprayed outside Dow Constantine’s drug camp on Wednesday, a Community Passageways worker saw the commotion and tried to victim blame me. He wouldn’t give me his name, but he essentially said I brought the attack on myself for trying to interview homeless people.
Thankfully, a neighbor saw what was happening and backed me up. But then this social worker got out of his BMW, left it running in the middle of the street, and started running his mouth.
During this encounter, witnesses says a young homeless woman from the camp rode over on her scooter, and slashed his tire. Apparently, she thought the vehicle belonged to me. Oh the irony.
In closing, what was even more troubling was that I overheard some outreach workers saying she should not be arrested or held accountable because it could complicate her situation. The homeless industrial complex continues enable criminal behavior. Now you know why it’s a free-for-all on the streets. Just say you’re homeless, and you can get away with almost any crime.
Slashed Tire Suspect
Here is the suspect running away after she allegedly slashed the tire on the BMW. Do you recognize her?
Community Passageways
Community Passageways is a Seattle based non-profit and essentially a diversion program. I know CEO Dominique Davis and they do some good work. But they’ve also faced criticism for their methods and hiring practices. They get millions in taxpayer dollars and grants. Just Google em.
