"It is high time the homeless people get help, not harassment"
Add a Comment
by Rob La Gatta & Mike Baldwin, Seattle Crime Examiner
Check out these posters I've been finding taped all over around the city lately. Only in Seattle would fighting for the "underdog" be taken to such extremes:
I'm almost convinced that the people who espouse this nonsense are folks from outside the downtown core who never venture into the city itself...if they did and could bear witness to the impact homelessness has on all aspects of local urban living, they'd realize that painting Seattle's homeless population as an innocent bunch of helpless heroes being persecuted by the big, bad politicians at City Hall is little more than fantasy.
Then again, maybe that's why their message of making "practical and realistic help a reality" is regulated to lamp posts and street signs, sure to be washed away and forgotten about as soon as the next rain storm has passed.
