Crime, Law, and Order

Wendy Yim is an aspiring writer, and by all measures a good one. Her first novel attracted the attention of literary agents and she was working on a second when she was forced to pivot to much less rewarding work: defending her neighborhood against the dangers posed by a low-barrier homeless shelter. Wendy’s family lives in Seattle’s picturesque, middle-class Madison Valley neighborhood, situated just east of Capitol Hill — a place filled with eclectic and colorful homes, winding streets lined with trees, and yards landscaped with flowers. Through the middle runs East Madison Street, host to about twenty small businesses, including a flower shop, bakery, music school, several ethnic restaurants, a small supermarket, and a massage clinic.

Tweaker Central What kind of illegal substance would cause someone to behave this way? The free-for-all drug culture in Seattle is out of control. More addicts are coming to this Chinatown-ID hood and losing their minds.

Out of Control Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson has lost control of her streets. Parts of Chinatown-ID are packed with drug dealers slinging fentanyl, people are recklessly starting fires on sidewalks, and the black market of stolen goods is thriving. There is no way Wilson has this under control by June when FIFA World Cup games are played in the city. Remind me again what the plan is to address this disaster zone?

Missing Person Seattle’s Lewis Park is a crime magnet and drug hell hole. Late Saturday evening, a dad reached out to me and said he was looking for his daughter named “Candace.” For privacy reasons, I am not putting out her photo. At least for now. But I was told she was last seen with drug addicts in this Beacon Hill park. So I decided to go in and look. The moment I walked in, a group of Honduran drug dealers offered me fentanyl. It was one of the riskier missions I’ve been on since it was pitch black. The area is very narrow and the escape routes are minimal in the event I am attacked. I couldn’t stay long Read More ›

Out of Control Seattle’s Little Saigon neighborhood is out of control. The drug den and black market of stolen goods is thriving Thursday afternoon. Dudes are openly selling meth and also talking about buying high quality fentanyl from Honduran drug dealers nearby. Meanwhile, no cops in sight and addicts are driving a hard bargain on stolen laundry detergent. From now until the FIFA World Cup in June, I will be giving weekly updates from this Asian American community that’s now a containment zone and human dumping ground for the city. Mayor Katie Wilson has no solutions and is allowing this minority community to be victimized again.

Skid Row in Los Angeles stands as a stark example of what happens when ideology overrides reality. Spanning roughly fifty blocks, it is one of the most concentrated homeless zones in the United States, filled with people trapped in addiction and untreated, severe mental illness, often marked by psychosis — a loss of contact with reality. For years, Los Angeles has wrapped its homelessness policies in the language of empathy and housing justice. But Skid Row reveals a harsher truth. What exists there is not simply poverty. It is a concentration of addiction, untreated mental illness, disorder, and human collapse in one of America’s most visible zones of urban breakdown. Los Angeles has embraced Housing First, a model that places Read More ›

Tiny Homes Won’t Solve This Problem Sunday evening, the drug den at the corner of 12th Ave & Jackson St in Seattle’s Chinatown-ID is spiraling out of control. A hoard of addicts are flipping stolen items on the sidewalk which is just a blocks away from Summit Sierra High School. Who needs a bassinet or brand new Nikes? This has nothing to do with homelessness. The vast majority of people out here have housing and are using the streets as a hang out. Constructing tiny houses will not solve this problem. There is no way Mayor Katie Wilson will be able to contain this disaster by building more wooden shacks. Too bad City Attorney Erika Evans refuses to prosecute open-air Read More ›

Kevin Dahlgren and Jonathan Choe recently appeared on Newsmax’s Finnerty, hosted by Rob Finnerty, to discuss their joint investigation with Frontlines TPUSA and other independent journalists into a cash-for-ballots scheme in Skid Row. Dahlgren and Choe explain how ballot initiative workers are paying the homeless to fraudulently sign petitions in Los Angeles’ notoriously drug-infested and crime-ridden Skid Row. Dahlgren called the scheme “irresponsible, exploitative, cruel, illegal.” Skid Row’s Cash-for-Ballots Scheme Watch the full investigative video here:

Discovery Institute has joined up with Frontlines Turning Point USA, O’Keefe Media Group, and other independent journalists in a multi-part investigation into a cash-for-ballots scheme in Los Angeles’ Skid Row. Jonathan Choe and Kevin Dahlgren help expose the exploitation of the homeless, the theft of the identities of innocent Americans, and the violation of state law in some of America’s most crime-ridden streets. Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles is one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in America, a human dumping ground infested with crime, open-air drug use, and unimaginable suffering on virtually every block. “This is hell on Earth,” I commented at one point. This chaos is also what allows alleged fraudsters to blend in and prey on the Read More ›

They’re Back! The Bellevue community watch is back! Monday evening, these brave volunteers stopped two homeless drug addicts from ransacking the QFC grocery store in the Crossroads neighborhood. Witnesses say a WHITE male and female with a dog tried to take off with packs of ground beef. No cops showed. Stopping the Black Market of Stolen Goods The community watch fellas suspect this duo passed through the Plymouth Housing/PorchLight homeless campus and were headed to Seattle in order to sell the stolen goods in Chinatown-ID.
