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 ›

Homeless Man Steals from Target to Support Drug Addiction

This Happens Daily I just confronted a homeless fentanyl addict ransacking the Target store inside the Bellevue Marketplace at Factoria. I watched him fill his cart with stolen items and walk out. Workers say this happens daily. Mall security eventually stopped him but did not call cops to arrest him. Now you know why everyday household items are locked up. All part of doing business in lawless King County. Tattoo On His Right Hand Mr. Sticky Fingers says he’s homeless and lives on the streets of Seattle. Mall workers say he’s been spotted in Bellevue before and likely uses public transportation to go back and forth. Aside from the braided hair, he’s missing a few teeth and has a tattoo Read More ›
