Same Ol’ Same Ol’
Start the sweeps Seattle! Even after Mayor Katie Wilson promised to handle the homeless drug crisis differently, the city is quietly clearing out drug encampments and it’s still a game of Whack-a-mole.
The vast majority of people at Wednesday morning’s sweep along Martin Luther King Jr Way rejected shelter options and headed right down the block to set up tents. That’s because they wanted to do their drugs.
Difference is, far-left activist group Stop The Sweeps Seattle is surprisingly quiet about the encampment removals under the mayor.
Double Standard?
Wilson used to lead the Transit Riders Union. This activist group is heavily aligned with Stop the Sweeps.
Which is likely why they are going easy on her. But this also undermines Stop the Sweeps entire mission and proves there is a double standard.
