Seattle coffee shop workers call 911 when homeless man causes disturbance; no officers arrive
Video shows assault on Seattle cafe employees; police do not respond to inquiry

A homeless man in Seattle was caught on camera causing a disturbance in an ice cream and coffee shop, and the small business's owner says police officers were not dispatched when his workers called 911.

The incident took place around 7 p.m. April 24 in the Pike Place Market area near Seattle's famous Gum Wall, according to Baxter & Frost owner Ian Halcott. Security camera footage shows a man wearing a beanie and hoodie with his hands in his front pockets talking to an employee before shoving things off a counter display, making a mess in the establishment.

A second clip shows the man pushing a movable display case at two workers, prompting one to pull a knife to defend himself and his coworker while the other grabbed a spatula and baking tray. The workers continued arguing with the man, before he left and a Pike Place Market security guard showed up.


"This video includes an assault on one of my employees as well as the destruction of my service counter by a deranged criminal," Halcott told radio host Jason Rantz in an email.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

That may be the "karma" I've heard so much about.

I don't believe that all those that live in Seattle voted accordingly.  Majority perhaps; and that's provided that they got a fair election.

Unfortunately, that's the way democracy works.  Even if you didn't vote for it, if you stuck around afterwards, you ratified the results.  It sucks to be one of the ones who didn't vote for it, but once the stupid gets strong enough, one should have moved out.

Blue State city-dwellers better get used to calling 9-1-1 and not getting a response.

Would the D.A. even prosecute the homless man for causing the disturbance?  No need for cops to risk getting stabbed to arrest someone for a non-prosecutable offense.

Also, police non-response increases efficiency and reduces costs - less police paperwork and fewer police brutality lawsuits.

Isn't this what Seattle voters wanted?

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
