OMFG a quick GOOGLE shows that WA has LOTS of options. For homeless and substances.. C'mon now. If they are committing crimes and causing trouble they need to be TAKEN off the streets if they won't take the step themselves...

Yep. Actually can care about someone other than themselves. You wish hurt on people that you don't even know. Men women and children. Everyone knows that kind of thinking is sick.

I said 'unless you were in a compromised position..." That's why I tried to refuse it when I was in the hospital around New Years. I know that I have a tendency to enjoy a good buzz and have that weakness that causes people to fall into the hole.
There are many diseases but I don't think you can consider a self induced drug addiction a disease. This is just my opinion and is probably not backed up by medical science.
Yup totally overflowing.
We all try to do that, it's what humans do. Having lived in one of the largest urban/suburban centers in the country for the bulk of my life I've been exposed to and met many types of people and have made it kind of a sociological study over the years. I've also lived in some of the smallest towns in the country and all sorts of places in between and been exposed to a lot of the good and bad aspects of people being people. I always give the person in front of me the benefit of the doubt until they prove themselves, always. I just don't have any sympathy for self inflicted problems that cause a drain on the rest of us.

Luckily you seem able to immediately detect and define self inflicted at very long range.

All this shit is so complicated; don't understand the dissing but hey, isn't the root compassion ?
My brother died as a result of addiction which I interpret as a mental health issue. We could never get through to him. It starts with getting through.Merde De Glace On the Freak When Ski

Funny thing about Tennessee, highest rate of opiod perscriptions in the country. Next highest is West Virginia. (When you beat wv at any opiod metric, you know you've got problems). They just changed the state motto from "volunteers" to "junkies". And they're far from skiing.

Dude yeah, you stick a needle into yourself, smoke, snort whatever that's self inflicted. It's not a tough concept. Many of us have played with things like these and not ended up in the hole. Is it because we were strong enough to walk away or is there a chemical imbalance in some bodies that won't allow the brain to win the fight so the person can walk away? I don't know but what I do know is that if you make the decision to start there is a chance that you won't walk away. Is that a disease or something else? I don't know that either but it started with a conscious decision.

Would you drive past someone who ran out of gas? Self inflicted, not a disease and they would know better next time, right? I know people who would do that, but that's not me. Believe whatever lets you sleep at night.

IMO the whole problem, as depicted in the KOMO story, is a mental illness issue. Society has never figured out what to do with severely mentally ill people, not really. When we decided institutionalizing them was inhumane, we essentially just moved the problem outside onto the streets. Mix in easy access to drugs and that leads to the addiction problem, like we couldn't see that coming duh. These are not people who are "down on their luck." The streets of Seattle are just an open air insane asylum with easy access to drugs.
There is no realistic solution except putting people back in institutions, which at least eliminates the addiction element and very real chance of overdose. Ultimately isn't that more humane than what we have now created on the streets by giving mentally ill people easy access to heroin and meth and alcohol? That is not helping them, I think we can all agree. Institutionalizing people against their will seems crue, but so is making them live outside addicted to drugs.

KOMO did not depict the WHOLE problem. KOMO depicted the drug problem to make you wet your pants. It worked You want round up a few thousand people and put them in camps. It would definitely work. Run for mayor and call your plan the Final Solution. You would get a lot of votes. Then find that the money isn't there to be humane. The money wasn't there as promised by the GOP when they emptied the institutions on the 70's for promised support. Nothing has changed.
But hey, you are certainly welcome to your opinion based on right wing videos.A few people feel the rain. Most people just get wet.

The takedown of global capitalism could not fit in an hour, so they focused on what happens when people are allowed to go feral in the streets.
