Went with a couple friends to Seattle tonight to go to the cheesecake factory and every block there were 1 or 2 CREAPY bums that either had missing limbs and broken ribs but wouldn’t let us buy him food “I only want a few bucks man” or the guy that says he “really f****ng wants to beat you up” after you say you don’t have any money for him. The first guy was probably an alcoholic which is treatable with free community programs if he wants to show up and the second guy could have been a paranoid schizophrenic which is also controllable. While it doesn’t offer me any real protection I was carrying my 2″ knife so that gave me a little comfort around the guy threatening to beat my friend up . Sad that people that have free help available to them won’t take it and instead put a damper on my evening. To ask for tax free income that they will probably spend poorly.
