A homeless man living in a Seattle tent allegedly attacked and strangled a tourist visiting the Space Needle with his family earlier this month.
The tourist was visiting Seattle from Arizona with his family on June 2. On the way to the Space Needle, a homeless man from a nearby tent encampment allegedly began to harass the family. According to the police report, the homeless man punched one of the tourists from behind before trying to strangle him with a rope.
The tourist was able to escape. But the homeless man caught up with him, running at full force, and attacked him again, landing multiple punches on the tourists chin and mouth. An officer arrived on the scene and broke up the fight near the Wells Fargo parking lot on Third Avenue.

Did I miss something? No mention that the rope was an AR-15. And, did the cop give the folks from AZ a stern warning not to tease the animals in seattle? If you don't want to get stung up, stay out of our fair city. And, yes, I know there are lots of fine hard working conservative folks there. Just not enough.

What did the tourist family do to enrage the simple derelict who must have been innocent?
Sometimes in home invasions the family inside has had white privilege unatoned for and hasn’t paid reparations for 1800s slavery and this enrages the teens to break in and bloody them.

“Homeless man.” Another euphemism. We used to call them “bums.”

There are many less than sane people in Seattle. Many are on the city council.

Shwarma the Red asked the city council to pass a ‘rope ban’ today and a tax on hotel stays to hire 10,000 new Seattle Cops.

It’s not even “Homeless” it’s now “Shelter-Challenged”.

I prefer an older name:
TROLL.
They live under bridges, stink, are hairy, crazy and drunk, and extort money from passers by.
Ever has it been thus.

In most libtard paradises, even the local libtard ruling class is smart enough to keep feral animals out of the tourist areas. They understand tourists bring money, taxes and revenue for the ruling class.
Pittsburgh's artsy, sportsy and touristy areas are well patrolled and we have nowhere near the money (nor the special brand of libtard ruling class stupidity) which Seattle does.

I toured Washington State in an RV last summer. Mt Rainier, Mt St. Helens, Olympia Nat’l Park.....
But I did NOT go anywhere near Seatle.
That bypass was as a result of seeing stories like this on FreeRepublic.
Concealed carry is NOT reciprocal with the left coast states. Even if it was, I don’t want to deal with the liberal’s cess pool inhabitants.
