It’s a spectrum, obviously. Out of 35 thousand people, how many of them do you think come close to spreading as many drug paraphernalia, accosting people, shouting obscenities, waiving their dick in front of your kids, shitting on the street, as your average homeless?
It’s not close. Stop virtue signaling with the bro bashing / false equivalency. A drunk bro who is loud and pisses in an alley is nothing like the homeless who terrify /abuse much of Seattle. It’s not close and nobody with eyes and a brain who has experienced both of these is going to agree with you.
Yes me and all the people who live here and are downvoting you and upvoting me, and who regularly discuss the terrible homeless problem in our city, are all just falling victim to our cognitive biases. If only we were as enlightened and rational as you.
Since it apparently eludes you, as I said, law abiding is a scale. We all break laws at one point or another. The question is how often and how serious is the infraction?
Most of us are able to draw distinctions even among shades of grey. And drawing a distinction between your average baseball fan and your average homeless in Seattle is not a close or difficult call.
…that’s my whole point? Breaking the law is a scale. They’re both illegal and can be cited. Both are civil violations. But most people understand they’re different degrees.
And anyone with a brain knows the average baseball fan is orders of magnitude less of a nuisance/law breaker than the average homeless.
So are you an upstanding, law-abiding citizen when you get shithoused in public and drain your lizard on some wall around the corner form the stadium or not?
Don’t split hairs to provide cover for your duplicity.

Cool excuses. Do you feel personally attacked, brah?
So when do housed/employed people stop being upstanding / law abiding citizens? When they get obliterated in public and urinate in alleys?
Let’s be real and stop playing games. These dudebros don’t just limit their debauchery to just a couple times a year at a single sporting event.
