There is slow but persistent business/convention-center push to create a no-panhandlers (read: scary non-business folk) zone in downtown Seattle; ala Tacoma. This sort of apparently lackadaisical police response will lead support to such an (unconstitutional?) zone. ...more's the pity.

I get the feeling that there may be a little more to this story....

Now, see, that's the kind of panhandler I don't like. The kind that drags you off into the woods, strips you, and beats you with sticks when you don't give them any change.

sounds like its past time to sweep the jungle again. offer a choice: tent city or bus ticket.

By and large, being snarky is a poor substitute for being smart, and what we see here in this thread is no exception.

Me? I feel terrible for the guy, who will most likely experience an ongoing form PTSD because of this. I don't see this as funny at all.

Forgive the quibble, but how is he naked if he's wearing socks and underwear?

from what I understand, the jungle is a pretty much cop-free, do whatever the fuck you want zone... $10 for a crack rock, $10 for a tent to smoke it in, $10 for a girl to smoke it with you.

And show up with no money and get the shit beat out of you (and apparently stripped).

Well, maybe if we gave people coupons they could give to the panhandlers that the panhandlers could then go exchange for food and clothing, then hobos could drag people off into the hobo jungle and beat them with sticks for their coupons...

Don't feel sorry for the guy. There is no reason why a man should be on 10th and dearborn at 1 am. There are no houses.

He was buying crack.
