33 judges beg Seattle to shutdown homeless camp where a man was fatally stabbed last weekhttps://hotair.com/john-s-2/2021/06/28/33-judges-beg-seattle-to-shutdown-homeless-camp-where-a-man-was-fatally-stabbed-last-week-n399384Last Thursday there was a fatal stabbing in Seattle. It happened right outside the King County Courthouse in a homeless camp that has grown up in City Hall Park. A courthouse worker found the body. Police arrested the suspect who was still holding the knife allegedly used to stab the victim 11 times. And that’s far from the only violence that has happened in the park recently.
Friday, a group of 33 judges who work in the courthouse sent a letter begging for the city to shut down the park and find housing for the people who live at the camp:
It took the violence happening in their own "back yard" for them to see that free-range homeless camp policies are a bad idea. Their "solution" is probably wrong, but problems can't be solved without acknowledging the problems exist.
