A Homeless Woman Slashes a Tire — Should She Be Held Accountable?

Chaos 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, Read More ›

Public Health Worker Dodges Questions About Giving Needles to the Homeless

Harm Reduction at Burien Encampment Another wild encounter outside Dow Constantine’s drug encampment in Burien. A King County Public Health worker tried to block me from exposing their “harm reduction” operation. They were giving away needles and fentanyl kits like candy. Not a single person was offered treatment. The Cost of Harm Reduction Millions of taxpayer dollars wasted funding this vicious cycle. Here’s the latest from a public records request. King County spent $335,364 in 2023 just on “harm reduction” supplies. But the drug overdose deaths hit an all-time high that year. The current plan is not working. No Comment from Dow Constantine I reached out to Dow and asked if he wanted to comment on this disaster. Still no Read More ›

I Was Chased Down and Assaulted While Filming Burien Encampment

Vicious Attack Two homeless men violently assaulted me Wednesday afternoon outside King County Executive Dow Constantine’s sanctioned homeless encampment in Burien. This blight is being blamed for sex trafficking, thefts, drug OD’s, and is home to an accused murder suspect.

If you have any information, please DM me or call Burien Police. Two Children Rescued The one silver lining: Kristine Moreland and her outreach group The More We Love just rescued two young children from this camp on Tuesday. Campers say numerous kids have Read More ›

Coming Out of Trouble

Rob Henderson’s Troubled: A Memoir of Foster Care, Family, and Social Class (Gallery Books, 2024) is well worth reading. I’ll give you two reasons Henderson’s life and book are not exceptional, then two reasons why they are. 1. Sad to say, Henderson’s background does not make his book exceptional these days. Mother: drug addict. Father: nowhere in sight. Number of foster care placements: ten, more than the national average of seven or eight. Once a child gets past three he often lives with dread, the word Henderson says best summarizes his feelings while growing up and sliding down. He dreads “suddenly being moved somewhere else. . . . The dread was sharp — I’d see an unfamiliar car outside or Read More ›
